Always a Gem

Good course with variety of challenging holes. Tee to green in great shape. The rough is the “desert look “ but very playable.
Fun course to play, wide fairways and a challenge for all types of golfers.
Pace of play was just a little over 4 hours.
Will definitely play again.

Thick Long Rough

Pace of play great on the front nine done less than 2 hrs; back nine much slower, waited on every hole, however we were done in 4 hours.
The greens were good considering they were aerated. The greens are hard and fast.
Only complaint was the rough, it is too long, especially around the greens.
The mowers were out on the front nine when we started on hole one and they left swaths of grass. So that tells you how long and thick the rough is. I do not think the back nine rough was cut as it pretty much swallowed your ball.
The tee box’s , fairways and sand traps all good.

First Time Playing

Slow slow greens

First time playing at Cathedral Canyon. I did like the lay out considering it is surrounded by homes. Lots of challenge with many water holes and sand surrounding all the holes. I thought it quite funny that the red and silver tees are in the same location with only a difference of 20 yards between the two tees? Anyway, the fairways were good, the sand traps need new sand as they are very hard packed. The greens were lush but so very very slow.
The starter said that they were fast, not sure what fast means to him?? The greens were very inconsistent slow to slower to slowest.
No beverage cart, however they do have water on several holes.

A Gem falling apart

This WAS one of my favourite courses, but it has so deteriorated. Fairways okay, but not lush by any means., rough heavy in spots, then no grass, very inconsistent. Couple of water holes dried up and very unpleasant to the eye and the golfer. If the dried up water holes were cleaned up, it would make finding a golf ball easier. It is so unnecessary to lose a ball in a dried up water hole full of cement, weeds and dead trees. Sand traps were decent and the greens were good. Had a 3 some in front who thought they were at a beach party, lots of unnecessary yelling off the tee box’s and greens. Very inconsiderate to other golfers. THERE IS NO Course MARSHALL on the course, so they ended up playing the last 2 holes as a 6 some as they joined up with the 3 some in front of them. We waited for 10 min on the last hole watching 6 golfers teeing off and another 10 min watching them trying to get there balls out of the water. . It was a very disappointing round of golf. Golf should be fun, not frustrating. Also no beverage cart so bring water and food.

Fair course for everyone

I have played this course several times and enjoy the challenge of the course along with the pristine conditions.
I was very disappointed with the starter.He was no where to be seen. When he finally showed up He asked if We ever played here before I said yes and that was the end of the conversation. He proceeded to talk with one of his coworkers about the working conditions at the course. Totally unprofessional and Obviously not interested in making sure we as a foursome knew everything about the course. It was very disappointing intro to Indian Canyons , especially since I had invited friends to play the course for the first time.
I am not sure why he was there as he showed no interest.
Thank goodness I knew the course. Obviously the golfers in front of us were never told that there was a separate key to the washrooms as they broke the cart key off in the washroom door. They phoned and had to wait for someone to bring another key to the cart..

Good Golf Trek

. We were surprised that Golf Now did not share the information that our Tee time booked for 1pm was a Shot Gun start. That being said we started at 1:00pm and finished the round in 4 hours. It went very well. The course is in excellent condition and fun to play. Fairways are generously wide, sand traps and greens in great condition.

Fun challenging Course to Play

The day we played was a tad foggy and damp, however those conditions did not effect play as the course is in excellent condition from Tee to green. It is Unfortunate that golfers do not fix their divot marks on the green. Just a freindly reminder to golfers, Be Kind and fix your divots.
Will definitely play again.

Pristine

The course is in great shape from the Tee box to the greens ,pleasure to play. The pace was great after I asked the 4some in front if we as a 4some could play through. We never did see them after that. If you are a first timer playing it is not marked well when crossing streets to get to the next holes. Better signage would be helpful.

Pleasantly surprised

Always enjoy playing this course. It is in excellent shape, from T to greens.
The staff in clubhouse very friendly and welcoming. Nice to see a starter to keep things moving on the first T.
T time was at noon, I was happy with the pace of play; 4hr 15 min.
There was no cart service and the snack shack after hole 9 was not open.
Also there were no ball washers; so make sure you have a wet towel on hand.

Fuzzy Slow Greens

The course is in great condition except I found the greens very fuzzy and long, played first thing in the morning. We were the second group off the Tee and The pace of play started off very slow. Thankful that the first group of the morning let us through on hole 4. We never did see them after that, could have been a slow round.

Fair and Fun course

I have read reviews of this course and have to say I disagree with it being difficult for the average golfer. If you play the right tee’s it is a fair, yet challenging course.
The fairways were generous if you had an errant shot. The greens are all elevated; putting had a nice speed. The bunkers were great to hit out of.
I would play this course again.

Slow slow play

Booked through golf now. Told by starter that there was a mix up and 2 foresomes were booked for the same time.??????
Our 12:30 T time came and we waited till 1 pm. Very frustrating. It was a 5 1/2 hour round; absolutely brutal slow slow play. Waited on every shot.
To make matters worse; The driving range was closed. Told that management closed the range to save money. Seriously
The course is not accommodating to the golfers. Take the money no problem; after that, gong show.

The course itself has a great layout. Fast greens, sand traps good condition; fairways good.

Course is full of hard packed Sand Traps

Lots of sand traps which were hard packed and not the best to play out of.
Some fairways sparse on grass.
Greens very fast and difficult to stay on with approach shots.
Difficult course for recreational golfer.
Pace of play super slow, expect a 5 1/2 hour round, especially twilight times.

Challenging

The course has a great trek. Unfortunately the water holes on the front (holes 5-8) are so close together that is makes play very slow, especially when the group in front thought it would be okay to "fish" for balls.
The greens were a little slow but in great shape compared to the Palm Course.
I enjoy golfing the Valley course, but do not expect a fast round, 4 1/2 hours is the average pace or longer.
18th hole is a great finishing hole, play it wisely.
