This place has a lot of potential

Staff was amazing, course layout is great. Slow play that comes with the territory of weekend golf during winter in Florida so that was somewhat expected. Greens rolled fantastic, turf conditions overall just a bit thin. With some TLC and a grow in for spring/summer this place could be special.

Fun Course, replicas are well done

This course is fun to play and the complimentary sandwich options at the turn were delicious. Course conditions are improving and greens were rolling very nice. If they can get the fairways filled in and growing consistently this will be an absolute gem.

Great Way to End a Short Golf Trip

Played on a Sunday morning before catching a late afternoon flight home. Spent a three day weekend in the Tampa Area with Westchase being my third of three courses played. My group was beat down quite frankly after the previous two days with each round pushing 5 hours. We came into Sunday expecting more of the same, but could not have been more pleasantly surprised. This is not a typo; we played in just over three hours teeing off at 10am. Thank you Westchase for saving the weekend! We all played so much better at the quicker pace and were able to truly enjoy ourselves; imagine that paying for a round of golf. Same couldn’t be said for two other “high profile” public access courses we played that Friday and Saturday.

Tough, but fair test

I’m a realistic 5-7 handicap at any given time. By and large this course is too hard for most which slows play down to brutally slow levels. Get a day where the wind blows like when my group played and it’s lost ball after lost ball unless you are a premium ball striker.

Enjoy the test and views, place is beautiful. Just know your score is going to be 7-10 strokes higher than you are used to….at least.

A lot of potential; needs updating.

We were told upon check in that the property was officially being sold the next day. The entire resort looked like its best days were well behind it and in desperate need of a renovation; same could be said for the golf course. It’s a really good layout with a ton of potential if better kept. Carts definitely need GPS as well because there are trouble spots all over the place that are blind and reachable off the tee we had no clue were there.

All in all if Troon can restore and improve the turf conditions and amenities this could be a special place again.

Good Layout in North Suburbs

I don't play a lot of golf on the north side of Chicago, but when I do Stonewall Orchard is the first course I will try to get on. Always in great shape, greens rolling fast and true, and (knock on wood) never had a pace of play issue. We played as a twosome this go around; two foursomes let us play through on the front nine and then it was clear sailing. We played in 3 hours and it was cart path only; my kind of golf!

Excellent Value Course

Getting a chance to play in February is always nice. With the home course closed, I always venture to Whitetail Ridge in the off-season. This is a very fair golf course and it typically in great shape. The staff is friendly and courteous; if you have the time to stop in the restaurant afterwards definitely do so as the food is excellent. Only knock on this day was the pace of play; we finished in 4:35 which is just too long. The course can challenge low handicaps, but by in large the folks we saw out there today really struggled and certainly were in no hurry.

Play it at Least Once

This is like playing a tricked up course in a video game. It's fun to do at lest once, but no way you would want to play here all the time. The course is in great condition, would say Paiute is the only place I have played in the Vegas Area with better overall course conditions. However the course itself is literally target golf all the way around. The views are great, the course is fun, just don't expect to shoot within 10 shots of your normal score and take it for what it is.

One of the Best in Vegas

I had heard nothing but good things about the Paiute Golf Resort, so this place had a lot to live up to. Played the Wolf course and it was outstanding. Wish I could have made it back to play the Sun and Snow courses as well, but those will have to wait until the next time out. The conditions at this course are the best I have experienced in the Vegas Area of about a dozen courses I have played over the last few years there.

The only drawback of a five star day was being paired up with a guy who had to play the tips and shoot 90 from there along with his wife who had to putt out on every single hole even if it was for a 12, just brutal. We lost sight of the group in front of us on the third hole never to be seen again. In my opinion the Marshall should have split my group into (2) twosomes. Myself and the local could have finished an hour earlier, literally.
