Terrible all around. Never again.

Course conditions were atrocious. Greens slow and bumpy. "fairways" thin and hard. Tees bare - except for the one that was not mowed. Sand was like wet mud. How can the grass be dying for lack of rain and yet the only bunker I went in was mostly full of water?? Service was poor - no beverage cart, halfway house closed, bar closed, water cooler empty....no water at all after about the 2nd hole on an 80+ degree day and we are seniors. I will not be returning.

Super hilly

Loved the course, always wanted to play a hill country course ( I'm from flatland Illinois) and got my wish. Enjoyed the layout and elevated tees. However, it was cart path only that day and that made it a lot of work especially for my wife who is not a good golfer. Also was my first time playing Bermuda grass and I hated it - but I can't really hold that against them. Overall the conditions were OK; some of the tees were in bad shape. Terrific mountain views alone are worth the price. Note: You would never ever want to walk this course!

Fix the bunkers!

I like the course, good layout, good conditions...EXCEPT - the bunkers were a disgrace. Yeah, it rained the night before, but they shouldn't have been THAT bad. Unplayable.

Average. Slow greens and play.

OK course I guess, conditions were good except the greens were very slow. Also the group ahead was painfully slow, we took about 2:15 for 9. i clicked "no" on would you recommend - not because it's that bad, but because Village Links just up the road is a better choice at comparable rates.

Nice course, good conditions

One green had some bad bare spots, but otherwise conditions were very good. Greens were smooth and large, didn't have a lot of huge breaks. Layout is OK but only a few water holes, hardly any trees, overall not terribly hard. The wind wasn't blowing hard but I suspect it can get very windy as it is fairly high up and not shielded much.

Not bad

Staff very friendly but as another review noted, took a long time to check in! Tough to evaluate conditions as the greens were just aerated. (They gave us an extra $3 off for it.) Tees and fairways seemed about average. Pretty good layout but only a couple really memorable holes. Reasonable landing areas and not too much trouble off the tee, I was able to use driver on every hole without thinking much about it. However, if you miss the fairway you won't have a level lie. Halfway house and beer cart seemed a bit pricey. Overall a little less than I expected, based on what I'd heard, though I wouldn't hesitate to go back as long as the greens fee is competitive.

Liked it, will come back

Nice course, conditions were fine, even though the front 9 greens were aerated, they were still very playable and rolled true. Back 9 greens were perfect. Enjoyable layout with some doglegs and lots of hills, so some tee shots are sort of a mystery as to exactly where to aim if it's your first time. Pretty short from the whites but a few of the tee shots are tight and would be daunting from the blues. Overall a fun course and will play again.

Pretty good course

No complaints, conditions were good. Although a few holes are challenging, on the whole the course is not especially interesting or difficult - but enjoyable enough nonetheless. Should be a place you could score at.

Ridiculous pins ruined it

No flat spots on greens to begin with but some of the pins were just stupid. On #1 I hit it pin hi 30 feet left, my putt broke about 15 feet. I left an uphill 15 footer 6 inches short and it rolled back down at least 10 feet. You should never have a 3 footer with a foot of break that if you miss, will leave you 10 feet. That's not golf, it's putt-putt.
