Pace and bunkers
Pace of play was terrible on the back nine, don’t know if locals just walked on or if people had lunch and then got in front of but that wasn’t much fun. They need to address the bunkers, a course like this shouldn’t the worse bunkers in the area.
Course condition
I have played the course quite a bit over the last ten years. The course has always been in pretty good shape except that there is usually an excess of water on the course most summers. I understand the drainage is not that great causing part of the problem. Last summer the water was so bad we decided not to play there anymore as the price did not reflect the quality of the course.
Yesterday, while the fairways were not as wet as last year, about half my drives stopped right next to the ball divot where it landed. The bunkers are the worst of any course in at least a 100 mile radius.
We have had a 3 day event there the last 9 years and scheduled again for this year. We are looking into a new site next year.
In closing I would like to say that Copper Valley (Saddle Creek) has always been one of my favorite courses around here. This includes ALL the public and private courses in the central valley. Unfortunately, while still charging a premium rate for a great facility, the upkeep on the course has clearly been comprised and no longer justifies the prices being charged.
Thank you,
Mark
Food
Bar tender took care of customers that were sitting watching tv and told him when he has time while I was playing. That was no big deal, extremely disappointed in ordering a ham and cheese sandwich through the cart and it was no better than an am/pm sandwich. It didn’t even come with any sides. It even had made on label from 3 days ago. Copper has a fantastic restaurant, very surprised and disappointed by that.
Poor pace of play on great course
Love the course, can’t stand the pace of play. Usually it’s pretty good, but the tournament was ridiculously slow.
Another golf course that just wants $$ most golf courses that I played charge regular price for guess raiding, my wife was with me she doesn’t play and this golf course Changed $30 for her to ride with me, the cart that I picked the ice chest was full of garbage ,the sand traps were in horrible condition you can see all the grass barrier on top , fairways are in good condition, greens were healing for aeration super slow, they had 2 foursome in front of my group they were all over the weeds looking for golf balls every hole ,finish my round 5 and half hours. Nice course , first time playing here but I will not come back , I rather look around for diferente courses to play.
great as always.
Greens fees where at a discount because the greens and a fairway or two where plugged recently but the course still played amazing even though they where in that process. team knew how to keep the amount of sand on the green to as little as possible. can’t wait to go back
Outstanding experience all around
We had a snow delay but wow was the staff amazing. From communication to thoughtfulness of the shotgun start to calling me and telling me I forgot my wallet in the golf cart.
This is a fine establishment and the course was in amazing conditions (bunkers were expected to be wet after that rain).
The carts were top notch and added a bit of prestige to the course.
Will be back!
