First time here good layout. Made you pick shot to play on several holes instead of just blasting a driver. Greens smooth fast and hard to hold
Hi season price. Will be back in May.

Came back for a round with a friend. Course still the same, slow pace for a wed am. Greens ok, tees worn and fairways too wet. But it’s been that way forever so why get upset.
It’s a well played muni with decent greens and minimal roll in the fairways.
That’s the Island.

Played another Phoenix area course yesterday after a pretty good weather front rolled thru. Conditions were heads and shoulders above this layout. Very disappointed with thin fairways even thinner dormant first cut areas and traps were hard as a wedding night svantz
Check around for same price you will do better.

Been awhile playing Teal Bend . Dramatic improvement in conditions of fairways greens surrounds etc. only issue was top dressing several tee boxes but come back in 30 and they will be golden.
Monday 8 am threesome played 18 holes in 3 hours 15 min. Got held up a little by a geritol 2 some but at the turn they disappeared
Great senior rate. Will be back.

Morgan continues to show it has promise then you go play it and see the shortfall.
Tees chopped up maybe some type of maintenance but they are shaggy and very rough.
Fairways ok. Greens slower than other local courses.
Did see the beverage cart but not a very diverse selection and zero Arnold Palmer unless you like it spiked.
So if you’re not seeking to improve the situation then we suggest a golf moose coupon to reduce the 50 dollar expense to say 2 for 80.
We have choices but this course in this condition cannot continue to ask for non-discounted green fee.
Oh,btw some of the Morgan carts sound like they won’t make it thru the round

So I love playing Dry Creek. Have for years. But this pricing policy needs attention. Asked if they had a senior rate. The dude said if 2 players are in the same cart then it would be 39 not 46. So if I used my own cart as a senior to avoid the covid it’s full price. I gave him the full price. Just makes me wonder if the senior is getting a fair shake. Or take a chance on getting the bug and save 6 bucks.
Good track. Tough test. Just needs a better thought process on pricing for seniors.

Course was in fairly good shape. Greens quick. Don’t be above the hole. Traps still unplayable but could be easily prepped for play. This course is all about ball position on the green.

Another full price round without my senior discount. Ancil is a great track and is mostly in great shape. Today we had a very nice cart girl serving the course. With no water on the course the cold drink offerings were just in time. Pace of play was terrible took 5 hours. Saw a Marshall on the course but his cart didn’t appear to have any brakes as he was continually driving along practicing perfect social distancing
But on a 83 degree day one can’t gripe too much.
Will be back.

Covid 11 am tee time. Course packed.Areas of course not cut to normal length. Greens slower than usual. Overall playable but it’s perfect weather. This golf course should be in perfect condition. The maintenance guys were looking at some irrigation valves. Tees shaggy fairways not mowed. And all the weedy areas along the edges of the course in full bloom.
Have seen this course in better shape routinely.

Another overpriced covid round but that’s the way it is for right now. Ancil is a great track. Greens firm and somewhat fast. Only thing needing attention is the bunkers. Fairways and tees good.
Tee shot here makes your round.
Combo tees good for old guys like us

Went back to an old friend Dry Creek Ranch for our weekly Monday round
Having played here 10-20 years ago I know the course layout-what I didn’t remember was how much trees grow in that time.
Lots of trees on this course to navigate. Overall course was a 7 out of 10 due to traps and some really wet areas around the aprons to the greens.
Pace of play impacted by a foursome ahead of us that fell 4 holes behind causing a backup. I can’t understand 5 practice swings then go behind the hall again to line up the shot. Too much tv I suppose. No Marshall btw but these players were Playing some 3rd world hip hop so communication would have been tough

We will play here again. These older courses force you to create shots. Fun.

Having played here several times I can tell you the course is in good shape with greens very slow but smooth. No rakes-divot mix-water on course. There was a portosan on the 6th hole.
This course is not tricked up and it shows you what you need to put the ball in play. Blue tees at 6k with some fairways rolling out.
If your looking for a round that you can make a couple of birdies and a couple of doubles come on down.
Would play again in 2 weeks- if the price comes down.

Empire ranch was available to our twosome at the last minute. We had a tee time booked last week early for River Oaks in Nicklaus. But last minute golf now cancels that time as river oaks decides they were closing mon-tues. even after we had paid for the mon time.
This is the 3rd cancelled tee time thru golf now that left us scrambling to find other arrangements and at a much more expensive charge.
So maybe when all this shelter crap stops golf now will be reliable again.
Empire nice course but 50 bucks versus 27 for River Oaks affects retired players.

Pandemic golf. Good course still open. Little wet but it’s March. Stacked so pace of play slow but we are playing. Not locked down staring at the walls.
Will be back. Thanks for being open.

Course in good shape. Giving some roll out in the fairways. Green great. Bunkers so so. Great value

Having played here for many years I can tell you that at first glance one would think A V is v an easy layout. Playing from Tan tees the course is 6100 yds long. Pretty wide fairways nice rolling terrain. But ensure you know to be below the hole in most of the pin locations. Number 1 is 410 par 4. Driver 3iron to 35 tds short. Chipped to 12 ft. But above the hole. Ran 1st putt by 20 ft came up short in the next-smooth double. Repeated same scenario 3 other times
I love this course. Will be back but you must be below the hole
Thanks

Good experience with staff-layout-condition. Club rental a little steep at 60 dollars. Set was mismatch at best. Pace of play slowed from 13 on. Never saw a course Marshall. Would lay again

First time at this course. A 40 dollar course ain’t a TPC so this course was as expected. A little rough around the edges but very playable Greens a little slow but again this isn’t a tour stop. It’s a municipal golf course with very friendly staff and close location to our rented home. I would play here again.

This complaint is directed at both Morgan but the entire county of Placer. Maybe at your site as well. Morgan was only course In ROSEVILLE still open thru this time of sheltering. Dr Dogood gets on tv and says golf courses are a hotbed of the pandemic thus Morgan surrenders and folds their tent.
Funny-The Morton’s are still open at Haggin-Mather open and Ancil as well. 50 bucks. No discounts It’s like 1975 all over again when we use to drive to Dry Creek cause all the city courses were flooded with a crowd willing to put up with lining up at 4am to get in the singles list.
Tom LoPresti must be smiling ear to ear.
Thanks for the rant.
