Surprising wind and bit of rain

Excellent course. Not long but plenty of places to get in trouble. Need to play a few times to know where to hit the ball. Always enjoyable. The late afternoon storm came a few hours early but only lated for 2 holes and then the sun came out and the wind calmed down after the first 9.

Very Early Spring Round

Course was in Great condition for such an early round with snow still on the course in places. Was misting for some of the round. Like the course very much but a few times have either got paired with Grumpy people or this last time the Foursome would not let a twosome play through. Staff has always been friendly but seems like maybe Members don't like visitors to play the course...

Greens were airrated

Love this course but greens were airrated and Sand traps were washed out. They had gotten lots of rain the night before. This course plays longer then the yardage says... I'll have to wait til next year to play this course again when it will be in great condition.

Outdoor bar closed

course was in excellent condition and the price was right! Unfortunately the outdoor bar was completely shut down. One of the reasons to travel to this course is the outdoor Bar which is beautiful and the food was also very good... Was disappointed we could not relax with food and a Beer especially after shooting my best score after...

Great Conditions and layout

Friends recommended this course after winning a round in a scramble so I took them back with a great deal at 9:06am. Had no one in front of us and nobody in back... Had a great time even if I did not play that will. Gentleman in the Pro shop was the only one working and seemed like he was a bit unsure of how to use credit card machine and Friend needed to go out back to get a cart.. We all enjoyed the course... Short par 3's, very long Par 4's...

Nice Layout

I have played here about 5 times. Great layout and course is always in very good conditions. It was great to see they were working on some improvements while we were playing. Was cloudy all day and then got rained out on the 15th hole.

Average Golf on a windy day...

Average golf course on a very Windy Day... Tees were moved way up because of being so early in the season... Had a few gimmicky holes. Staff was average. Got in with a nice foursome that invited me to join them. They had only played there a few times..

Nickie was a pleasure

So I have played Lazy Swan a few times a year. The Layout is fun and plays more difficult then the slope rating. Greens were fast but the Sand Traps were terrible. No sand just packed down mud. Not much rain to make them that way... Nickie the Bartender was great with a nice smile and personality. Food was very good. Great out door Bar!

Nice Course just off 84

Friendly staff in the office... checked in went to starter, paired up with another single and off we went. Course was mostly wide open and was in great condition for Dec 16... Neat design with 4 greens going out into the water. If I was walking could of got confused on which way to go after the second par 5. Had fun was a great deal on Golf Now!

No Flair or water but Nice course

Nice course, Most fairways wide open but some holes very tight. First time playing course. Rough was just the right length so wasn't hard to find your ball. Ground and greens very Hard, had to play short. I was glad I was talking to one of the locals that just got off the course and gave me that advice. Clubhouse used for checking in and Bathrooms, had some tables that did not look used. Saw some beautiful deer including a 4 pt. Buck.

Great Course

Course it 2 hrs away from home but love to play on my way down to A.C. traffic was terrible and arrived at course with 5 min to go. Dropped Bag off, parked car and checked in, they said the starter is waiting for you no paper work required. A few minutes later I was Teeing off. Course was in beautiful condition all around!

Cart Path Only?

This is a beautiful golf course in great condition. However Cart path only is a Joke. Unfortunately Cart paths are on top of the hills and on like half the holes the Balls will bounce to the other side of the fairways because of the slope. They should put in cart paths that go down the hill and again to go back up. Just slows down pace of play and also a pain to carry like 3 clubs all the way to the other side. I would of been very upset if I had paid $80 like the poor gentleman did that I paired up with. Also lack of drinking water on the Lakes course and only saw the drink cart on the 3rd hole. Was surprised at the lack of previous golfers not repairing ball marks on greens.

Nice course in middle of no where...

First time playing this course. Missed the entrance because sign was not up. A little confusing on a few holes but once you play it once is fine. Some real challenging holes that you could get into real trouble. Being up in the mountains was much cooler which was great for a 90 degree day down below. Had the course basically to myself. Great deal on Golf Now! Don't usually play a nine hole course but will definitely go back again. Don't believe they had the 19th hole open..

Played 2 days in a row

Had 2 days of pouring rain before I played. The few Cart paths they had were actually washed out and could be dangerous. Sand traps were washed out. The Next day I was impressed with how much work had been done on both! Otherwise course was in Good conditions. Got a Hot Deal the first day was worth it... If not a Hot deal felt it was a bit expensive.

Cluttered Greens

Course was a little further off the highway then I thought, but driving up to the clubhouse I thought I was going to be impressed. Joined three men who had been here before. They were playing from the white... way to short. Course could of been great but greens were all covered with seeds and stuff that looked like they have never been blown off. Lot of gimmicky holes... I would not go back, in the middle of nowhere... Mountain course...

Great Course

Play this course a lot, one of my favorite. Course opened earlier then most some greens still need some work but all are open. Greens are usually very true and fast.

Gets better every year

Found this course a few years ago. It keeps getting better every year. Greens have always been excellent. Tee Boxes this year were in Great Shape! The two holes across the road still not my favorites but was nice to see the cart path going down to the green.

Valley 9 my least favorite

Overall the course was in excellent shape. Greens were very fast and true. Leaves were taken care of the best I have ever seen there. Unfortunately when they had to move the driving range to the back and take out the first hole they ruined the valley. The Big tree fell down on the fifth hole. The seventh par three green was terrible... The 6th hole on Valley Nine, be careful after hitting your drive. Because you go so close to the 7th hole on the cart path my GPS gave me the distance to the 7th green.

Nice track for the money

This course is an average golf course. Great place to check out well worth the rate at Golf Now. Was very pleased with the layout. Some water, some Dodlegs and a bit longer then most white tees at 6400. Could of had a few more signs for the next tee box, had to search twice. Will stop here again on my way down to A.C. There is really no club house. Would of liked to try the separate restaurant and try some of the craft beers but was on my way back home so decided to pass.
