the greens were in good shape mostly. The fairways were in terrible shape. and the rough was even worse. We were bumping our ball everywhere so we could find some grass

Price

Got on for 35$. But tee time was early 7:30. The course is still suffering from flooding. Hole #10 had forward tees. The fairways are need of some care. But the greens were excellent. I don’t mind all the water seem like it was on every hole. I would play this course regularly regardless of the poor fairways

The greens were in decent shape but the rest of the course was in terrible shape. I would not recommend this course.

Great layout

We've golfed at Cathedral Canyon many times over the years because of the great layout! The greens nice and green and true.
Unfortunately, due to the hurricane in August and then heavy rain one night this month, the course isn't in great shape. The fairways are thin, but I'm sure they will improve.
The 1st hole, although playing as a par 5 still has quite a bit of damage. The 10th hole has been changed from a par 5 to a par 3. Unfortunately, there aren't any markers on this hole that states the distance from tee to green.
We golfed as a twosome and had a enjoyable time.

Fun course

This course is old but layout is fun and challenging enough for anybody , Green are well kept , which is most important to me , They are nice and play true . Fairways are so ,so but as with any old course if you hit the fairway it’s always fair to move your ball to a nice patch.
Price fits course conditions and it’s well worth a play for sure. Staff is really nice. And food and beer very reasonable..

For a Challenge to your Game

It is a very challenging course for the beginner or intermediate golfer. For golfers who are up for a challenge, ok with water hazards, and prefer to use a cart rather than walk, this course is for you. The greens were fast and in good shape. It looks like the course is slowly coming back after the floods, so maybe in a couple of years, this could be the ideal course to try your skills.

This course is a mess! No driving range. Water leaks in the irrigation system. Hard to find your ball because of varying grass and weed colors!

The reduced price compared to other resort courses reflects its condition. Great course to warmup your golf game or if your novice golfer.

The front needs a lot of love no grass on fairways the back 9 was in a lot better shape. It still could use some up keep. The greens were the best part of the course. The starter was a very nice person
