Nice layout, some gettable holes as well as challenging ones.
Greens were firm and semi-fast (especially downgrain).
Pace of play was awful. On the 12th hole we saw a ranger just 2 minutes after the foursome finally let us through,.
Fairways, bunkers, and teeing areas were all consistent and in good shape. The range was closed.

I tire of the golf selection in the PCB area, not many choices and not the value either.
I now have another choice in St Joseph Bay GC.
I didn't realize that they were on EST, but no worries, the staff was super friendly and accommodating.
The greens were fair, fairways were slightly better. Around the greens presented a challenge in the tight lies, especially in a few wet spots.
Overall, it was a nice track for about half the cost of some others I have played in PCB.

The day before I was warned that the greens were fast at Country Oaks. They were right. About 1/3 of the greens had large spots without grass, but the pins were not in those areas.
The course held up to recent rains, only one hole was sloppy wet. There were a few fairways without much grass. Spring should correct that.
I enjoyed the layout, even the holes that criss-crossed one another. There were a couple of holes that par was not obtainable even playing well and a couple of holes that allowed birdie opportunities.
Overall, it was a nice track to play.

Everyone was very friendly. It seems the course is a fabric of the community.
Layout was good, easy to follow. There were a couple of tough holes and a couple of very easy holes. No doubt, keeping the ball in the fairway was crucial, but an errant ball in the trees was easily found (and not so easily put back into play).
In the middle of winter it is hard to evaluate the course conditions, so I am thinking the bald spots on some of the greens and fairways will be better in the spring.

I played here a year ago and really enjoyed it. Nothing changed. The layout has tough holes and some risk reward holes. The greens are faster than they look. The bunkers were in better shape this time.
I will be back

Staff was very friendly.
It is obvious that this course fell upon hard times and equally obvious that they are working hard to make the course better.
The fairways were firm. The greens had been punched and dressed in the last couple of weeks.
On the back nine, pace of play was very slow and I ended up playing the last seven holes with two locals. They definitely added to the fun of the round.

Staff was incredibly friendly.
Dry fall made shots roll out, greens were recently punched and dressed.
Some quirky holes that would be easier the second time around.

What a wonderful layout!
There's not an easy hole but none tricky.
The fairways were in good shape, rough was manageable, and bunkers were playable. The greens were I punched 2.5 weeks prior and not dressed, so making a putt was difficult but they still had some speed.
The manager was very congenial.
The restaurant is closed for the winter.
I'm glad to see drastic improvement in the conditioning.
This course was worth the drive and I look forward to playing it again.

Over the years I have played Otis Park a dozen or so times. I come back for the tee shot on 17 but the rest of the course is fun too. The fairways were in great shape, the greens rolled well with just a little pace. I wasn't in many bunkers so judging them wouldn't be fair. The course puts you in awkward lies all day, and the greens are small in comparison to others plus they have lots of subtle breaks.

I enjoyed my round at Painted Mountain. The fairways were firm and fast but not burnt. The greens were in fair shape. I did not get into any bunkers but they looked good. The pace of play was great, less than 3 hours. Two groups allowed us to play through.

After playing a similarly priced course that was burned out, it was a pleasure to play here. Yes, the greens were a bit slow but they were consistent and lush. The rest of the course was enjoyable and I will definitely play here again.

I do enjoy this course. It has a great layout. The par 5s are gettable and offer a birdie opportunity or double. The par 3s are picturesque with forced carries. There is plenty of sand but the traps were in good shape. The rough was thick and difficult to find a ball. Of course, there is plenty of water too.

Hard to knock this course. No, the fairways hadn't grown in yet but it is Feb. They did roll out though.
No, the greens weren't perfectly smooth but it is Feb. The bunkers were in good shape.
The layout was interesting. There were two holes that I didn't care for but the rest were above average or awesome.
They have a bar and grill plus a covered driving range and putting area.
I wouldn't stay at the hotel but I would play the course again in a heartbeat even at double the price.

nice staff, they have a nice bar and offer sandwiches, etc.
There isn't much I didn't enjoy about the course, yes with warmer weather the fairways will green up as well as the greens. The bunkers looked in good shape, the couple that I was in had nice sand with depth to explode. The design was good, not too tricky and not bland.
I can't see myself staying at the hotel but would definitely play the course again.

I have played here since its opening in 2003 and stopped playing it five years ago due to its conditioning. I am delighted that it is better shape now than when it opened. The greens have been redone and putted smooth and true. The fairways were lush. They are in the process of reworking the bunkers. The conditioning is so good now that it accentuates the beauty and layout of the course.

I enjoy the layout here, the holes aren't too bunched up. You need to think your way around here to avoid disaster, even then you can take a big number if you don't execute. The greens were smooth and semi-fast. The fairways rolled out and the ball sat up just enough. I was in a couple of bunkers that were inconsistent but they were working on other bunkers on the course. The pace of play was a bit slow for me but tolerable (4:30).

It is hard to complain about a round that included sun and 70 deg weather in early Feb.
I enjoyed the layout of the course, nothing quirky. There are a couple of holes that are beasts! I probably should've opted for the white tees as the carts were path only. The fairways were just soft enough to not allow any rollout.
The greens were firm and fast but the fringe was soft and spongy.

This isn't quite mountain golf but they have gas powered carts for a reason. There are a couple of holes that area a real test. I enjoyed the layout.
The pro was very friendly.
This course wasn't completely drained so it was a challenge to force myself to hit down onto the dormant grass that was soggy.

First off, pace of play was great! I was a single, so expected a 4 hour round. One the first hole a 5some let me through and on the third hole a 3some let me through.
The greens really rolled, making putts from the fringe easy and almost a must.
The course was dry and well drained. I can not think of a single sand trap.
The clubhouse had a good variety of clothes, etc.

This course has natural beauty so a sunny, mid-70's day was perfect. This course is one that being off the fairway leads to issues because of the rolling hills but the leaves add to that problem. The greens had been recently dressed; it appears that the heavy rains over a week ago didn't allow the punching to take full effect. Pace of play was awful but it was a pretty day and a Friday so more play was anticipated.
