We planned to walk anyway but the staff would not let us tee off until carts were available! The first tee stood empty until carts were made available regardless of the fact that walkers were ready to play. A lack of flexibility on the part of management cost us the ability to get more holes in as the sun set just after we made the turn. We could have gotten 3 more holes in if they were more creative.

What was once a great course is now just a profit center for someone who cares little about maintaining a golf course. Tees and fairways are miserable.
They have nice greens but that’s not enough, it’s sad.

I've played the course often, I like it. On this occasion one of my usual partners had a medical emergency with a family member and was unable to play. I found out about this on the way to the golf course. I informed the staff that my twosome was missing a player but I was there to do whatever the course required of me. If the tee sheet was full and it would be hard to get a single out I would gladly go home. If they needed me to play I would play. They placed me some other golfers and we were a full group. I was shocked and disappointed to get an email from golfnow informing me the course was charging me for the missing player. I tried to accommodate the course and this is the thanks I get, where is the consideration for their clientele? This will make me think twice about using El Dorado and Golfnow again.

I’ve played this course a lot over the past 20 years but it had been two years since my last visit. Wow, has this place deteriorated. The greens are abysmal, how can you charge $72 for this? Keep the rough consistent while the fairways are a mess? Not one working water fountain and port-o-lets instead of a restroom made the day even more special.

The city gave up management control of the course years ago to a “expert” in running a golf course. Maybe they should take it back.

A private club that has fallen into disrepair. The greens and tee boxes are the only thing that is kept in decent shape. Weeds everywhere, including the bunkers. A lot of elevation change that makes walking difficult, but you'll have to because each cart fails to make it the full 18 holes.
