Finally got a chance to play here as weekend tee times for civilians are hard to come by. We finished in just under 5 hours with some waiting between holes. Not bad for teeing off at 3pm on a Sunday.

Finally got a chance to play here as weekend tee times for civilians are hard to come by. We finished in just under 5 hours with some waiting between holes. Not bad for teeing off at 3pm on a Sunday.

The course itself is very fun and a great layout. Tee boxes and fairways had excellent coverage. Unfortunately the players do not take care of it. Severe ball marks on nearly every green. I could easily fix 10 ball marks just in my own area. Rake the d%mn bunkers people. It's not just one person either, I saw multiple tracks and hit marks in every single greenside bunker.

Just a heads up for everyone…

According to a friend who played here today, the fairways are in rough shape. Due to a water pump issue that occurred a few weeks ago, they’re able to pump just 50% of their output…250,000 gallons vs. 500,000 gallons…until the problem is rectified. Cottonwood has an antiquated irrigation system so their options are limited. As a result, on... » More

Just a heads up for everyone…

According to a friend who played here today, the fairways are in rough shape. Due to a water pump issue that occurred a few weeks ago, they’re able to pump just 50% of their output…250,000 gallons vs. 500,000 gallons…until the problem is rectified. Cottonwood has an antiquated irrigation system so their options are limited. As a result, only the greens and approaches are currently being watered. Visually, the fairways resemble what we just saw at the Men’s and Ladies’ British Opens.

No word yet as to when things may return to normal so it might be prudent to call the golf course ahead of time prior to heading out there/booking a tee time.

Played this AM as we have had really high temps the last few days.

Found the course in decent shape given the hot weather.

Tee boxes playable and fairways had good coverage with very little browning so good lies and acceptable rollout.

Traps had been cleaned and heard no complaints.

Rough was dry and playable.

Played this AM as we have had really high temps the last few days.

Found the course in decent shape given the hot weather.

Tee boxes playable and fairways had good coverage with very little browning so good lies and acceptable rollout.

Traps had been cleaned and heard no complaints.

Rough was dry and playable.

Greens were a little soft due to watering so chipping/putting good but not fast and practice green was the same so we knew what to expect.

An excellent addition to the courses already in the area and always fun to play.

Well maintained course and excellent rates for active duty, retirees and veterans. Open to civilian as course is not on the AFB property.

Played early this AM as 100+ was predicted and it did appear later in the day.

Course is feeling the effects of the heat as many of the fairways are starting to brown out.

Tee boxes were fine and the fairways were playable with good lies and rollout.

Rough was dry and not a factor at all.

Traps were playable early as they had been cleaned... » More

Tee boxes were fine and the fairways were playable with good lies and rollout.

Rough was dry and not a factor at all.

Traps were playable early as they had been cleaned by maintenance.

Greens were in good shape not as fast a previous rounds but still playable.

Cannot complain when you can still walk a course and pay $18 for the round.

Played in a NCGA Senior Series tournament on Monday, July 27, teeing off about 9:30 am. We finished in about 4.5 hours, which was better than I expected and was appreciated considering it was getting pretty hot by the time we finished. Good practice facility.

Played in a NCGA Senior Series tournament on Monday, July 27, teeing off about 9:30 am. We finished in about 4.5 hours, which was better than I expected and was appreciated considering it was getting pretty hot by the time we finished. Good practice facility. That said, I thought the corner of the practice green they were using was much more sloped than the greens on the course.

I had hoped to pre-play the course with 24hour but I was waitlisted and did not get the call to play until Friday afternoon. So, the round was an adventure. We were playing it from the gold tees at around 5800 yards so we missed much of the trouble on the course. The conditions were very nice. Lush fairways and rough and wild areas outside the rough. Unfortunately, I had trouble with my new driver and found those wild areas more than I would have wished. The sand looked like dirt and played a little heavy but otherwise was okay. The tees were very nice. The greens looked nice and rolled nicely but were slower than expected and did not break as much as I anticipated. They were medium speed.

I really liked the layout and would like to play it sometime from the white or blue tees. If I lived in the area, it would be a regular on my course rotation.
