I haven't played Pheasant Run in a number of years and I like the changes they made. 18 was a completely unfair par 4 and it was a great change to make it a par 5. Some of the par 4s are quite long even from the whites. I played on Saturday 1/31 for $37 with a free cart coupon and it's definitely worth that price. The greens were pretty smooth and MUCH faster than they used to be and they were soft enough to hold long irons very easily. Most fairways in the valley are dormant this time of year but these were pretty green and lush. I do agree with the previous poster in that many of the holes are uninteresting and have a definite element of "sameness" but for the money (with a coupon), I don't really think you can beat it. If you don't get a deal though, go to Stevinson or Riverbend.

My first time playing here. The course is in nice overall condition. Greens showed recent signs of sanding, but still rolled reasonably well. My only complaint is there is a lot of "sameness" to the ... Continue »

My first time playing here. The course is in nice overall condition. Greens showed recent signs of sanding, but still rolled reasonably well. My only complaint is there is a lot of "sameness" to the holes. Lots of long par 4's which do not appear that much different from one another. Short par 5's, which makes the yardage play long. (blue tees are almost 6900 plays more like 7100) Nice course, well priced, but not one of my favorites.

Great course... A Must play

I am a 25 handicap and I have played this course 4 times in the past 1.5 years. Two weeks ago the wind was a factor for the first time, but it was a beautiful day otherwise. The course is challenging for me because of the amount of water, some of it not readily visible. The fairways are in mostly good condition with a number of strategically placed bunkers. I have always found the greens to be in excellent condition, while the greenside bunkers are often wetter than they should be. While my overall experience at this course has always been good, my only issues are that (1) I rarely see a marshall (which has affected pace at times) and (2) the distance to many of the tee boxes (I am a walker). The sounds of construction can be a distraction at times, but those are the least of my problems. The 19th hole amenities are excellent. Compared to other courses I have played(not just this area) I think Pheasant Run offers a good value for the price which should only get better as some of the minor problems are ironed out, construction stops and the course grows up.

I played in Late September, way overwatered; No wonder it is a swamp during the winter. I can't believe there were no marshalls to monitor the slow pace of play. You better stock your own cooler too... Continue »

I played in Late September, way overwatered; No wonder it is a swamp during the winter. I can't believe there were no marshalls to monitor the slow pace of play. You better stock your own cooler too, since there is no water or cart person.

Great course. Worth at least an hour drive if your looking for wonderful golf experience.

Played early round on Sunday (10/16). Fairways and greens were in great shape. I hadn't play Pheasant Run in several months so the added water on back nine was a pleasant suprise. Rates are at $53 weekends now. I really enjoy this course. Off the first tee by 7 am and off the island green on 18 at 10:15. sweet! Reminds me a lot of Rancho Vista in Palmdale with more bunkering around the greens and more multi-tiered greens.
