Yuck! We got a great price online to play here so I guess you get what you pay for so if you don't take golf too seriously and have nothing else to do you might actually like playing here. The 18th green was covered with bird poop from all the Canadian Geese on the course. Then on hole #12, a par 3, the blue tees are only about 5 yards behind the 11th green and they're set down 2 feet below the level of the white tees ahead of you, clearly an after thought to make the hole longer.

It might just be the worst excuse for a golf hole I have ever seen. Hole #10 is a par 5 where you hit your second shot (or your third) through a cut out in the hill that's only about 15 yards wide with weeds and dirt along the hill. The last 10 holes are more traditional with flat terrain across the river and you share the cart path with bikers and runners where there are a few good holes. After hole #8 you return to the parking lot and pro shop then you play the 'back 10'. To be fair, once you're on the greens, they roll well in spite of their mediocre condition and we did see a couple of deer grazing on the fairway on #8. The grass in the fairways was sparse with a lot of side hill lies off of dirt, the tee boxes are uneven and the bunkers have little or no sand.

You are just guessing on what club to hit then the ball hits and bounces off the green. The first 8 holes go up the canyon so you have a lot of blind shots to flags on narrow, hard greens. This course is a joke for the serious golfer.
