- Made 9:00 am tee time month in advance . Golf course stuck shotgun start tournament in front of us on back nine. Took 3 :45 hours to play back nine. Did not advise of tournament . Poor treatmentThe course was in great shape when we played last week of October but the rough was extremely punitive to the point that I lost a ball although I saw it bounce just short of a green.
The play was extremely slow with a wait on every hole every shot. I can't help but think with a more forgiving set up, the pace would have been better.
Tremendous scenic vistas of surrounding homes and mountains
I would want to play it again if the set up was more appropriate
The check in was OK and the Pro shop was friendlyPlayed Sept. 25, 20014. Customer Service is terrible. Staff were indifferent at best. We were stuck in between to large groups. A bachelor party and corporate tournament with shot gun starts for both groups. We were put between these groups and asked to start our play on the 8th hole. The play was super slow. Again, I won't say staff was rude but they have no customer service skills. When I tried to call and make reservations no one picked up the phone and it went to a voice mail box that was full. So I made on-line reservations. No one met us at bag drop off so we parked and carried our clubs through the complex past several staff who never even acknowledged us. Pro shop staff were not friendly. I will never go back.
Greeter was good proshop checkin was average course was in poor shape greens looked like a leftover tango dance floor, service from the cart girls was ok food was ugly .... The holes were interesting and challenging. The carts were dying all over the course gps was too much for them we requested a new cart twice nothing happened then between our cart mates and my wife and I we pushed the thing the last 5 holes thank god most were down hill at that point.
