Played 3/28/26 1:30 POP 4 +. A very busy Sat. Waited on many shots but overall not too bad. Course was in over all good to great shape. They punched the greens a couple weeks prior. Most had remnant signs of the punching and coupled with the Poana grass, they were on the bumpy side. They were extremely soft. It was actually difficult to not have the ball stop quickly, even on chips & pitches. Very fun to see your shots spin back. I had one shot plug in the green. They were running on the slow side. They should be completely healed in another week or so. I noticed a couple of small dead spots near the fringes on a couple of greens, but most had great full coverage. Fairways have grown in well and were lush & green (Not Paint). Ball sat nice with decent roll out. Tees & traps were the typical trouble spot. Many tee placements had no flat spots to hit from on this day and traps were mostly firm. Greens will improve quickly. Still my favorite twilight course in SD. Although I have heard that they have done away with twilight rates, which really sucks if true. They continue to clear and clean many of the overgrown areas and the course is looking fantastic and continues to improve. New carts with interactive GPS. A definite recommend.

Played 3/14/26 2:15 POP 4:20. Course was in over all good to very good condition except for the traps and some tee box's. Fairways were green with good coverage, Rough was full but did not cause any real issues. Greens were great. Well struct shots stopped, others ran out. Ran at would say a medium pace. Greens are small and many have tough slopes which is the courses main defense. Was in two traps and both were very firm. The rest looked to be the same. Course layout is typical Muni with a couple of interesting twists. Not too difficult if your putting is on. A great course for an easy round with friends or beginners.

Played 2/8/26 12:45 POP 4:15 First time playing the course and enjoyed it. Pretty basic in design. Generous fairways with little to no trouble off of tees. Fairways very green with great coverage, but on the tight side. Great roll out on drives! Greens were in great shape. Mostly firm, but ran slow to my taste at a medium/slow. Lots of subtle breaks that were hard to pick up especially when the ball slowed. Was not in any traps but they all looked to be in great shape. Course was in overall great shape. I don't recall any "Signature" hole. Some water in play with one par 3 over water. A decent course that won't beat you up that was in great shape. Some very nice scenery when playing back towards the mountains
Easy recommend as a "also" course or warm up course if in the area for more than one day.

Played 1/24/26 9 am $165 Pop 4 hrs. A great day to be playing golf in the valley. All though the wind got a little fresh mid day but still very manageable. Course was over all in very good to great shape. Fairways had great coverage with only a few minor spots mixed around. Very green but tight, which led to good roll-out. Enough cushin to hit off but tight. Greens were in great shape. A little on the firm side and very fast. They rolled great. Traps were a weak spot. Was only in one but they all looked to be the same of wet firm sand/mud. Saw the cart girl once. Still continues to be a favorite course in the valley. Not typically as lush as many, but the layout is simpley a fun one. Good warm up area. Highly recommend.

Played in the GK final plays 12/20/2025. I found the course to be in immaculate shape. Deep green and lush everywhere. What a contrast to the SD courses at this time. All though I played from the rough more than the fairways. The fairways where perfect, with great lies. The rough was lush but manageable at around 2". The greens were firm and required really good ball striking for any stopping power, but very consistent. They ran at a solid quick pace with very good roll. Many subtle breaks that you really need to look out for. I was in a couple of traps and they were in excellent shape. A few too many foot prints left behind !!! A couple of the tees had some unevenness to them, but not too bad. Cart girls were by a few times. Pace was good. Had to wait on a few shots, but over all not bad for our group. An absolute treat to play these courses this time of year. A nice mix of hole layouts and overall design. Highly recommend.

Played 10/29/25 10 am. First group out after frost clearing. They were in the process of closing for the winter. They expected 2 more weeks tops. They had punched and sanded the greens last week so they were pretty rough from holes and sand but looked to be in great shape other wise. They were in the process of punching fairways. The unpunched ones were in fantastic shape. Absolutely love this course in the fall with all the trees turning color. A little bummed that I was about two weeks too late to play, but still a fun day in a beautiful setting. If you're ever in the area highly recommend. Looking forward to next season.

Played 7/7/25 9:20 POP 2 hrs/ 9 holes. $50 walking. It had been over 20 years since the last time I played this course. It always looks so nice from the road. A typical mountain course. Fairway's lined with tall Pine Trees. Except for the first hole, which is pretty narrow, there is a fair amount of room. Mostly a up/back type routing with some minor dogleg L&R. Not a lot of views, but still a nice course to spend some time on. Fairways in very good shape with great coverage. A little on the heavy side which really killed any roll. Rough was closer to the 3" range which could help to keep balls in play, but a little tough to hit out of.
Not many traps. most looked wet and compacted. Greens were in so so shape. The first and 7,8 were in bad shape. Guessing from fungus. Mostly patchy dead/ green and UN puttable. The rest were in decent to good shape. Very soft & receptive, even a little on the spongy side. Very slow and the ball really wanted to wonder with the grain. The greens are small with lots of slope making putting a challenge, which appears to be the courses main defense. Hitting nets, chipped green & putting green. Steep price for 9 holes, but you have to consider where you're at. A fun day in a beautiful area.

Played 6/13/25 8 am Shotgun. Course was in really great shape. Fairways had very good coverage with ball sitting up. A few GIR mixed around, but seldom caused any issues. They were playing on the firm & fast side with plenty of cushion. Greens were fantastic, but on the slow side. Held shots very well. Noticed a few wobbles and were a tad on the slow side, but they played great. Was not in any traps but they looked firm. T box's mostly great with a few uneven stances. Overall a easy recommend.

Played 5/31/25 8:30 am POP 4.45 hrs. First time playing the course and enjoyed it. Some decent views of the bridge, city & bay. Course was in overall very good to great condition. Fairways had very good coverage. An occasional bad spot mixed around but never cause me any issues. Greens were in great shape. They looked and putted like carpet. Held shots well. I struggled with figuring the speeds out. It was most likely me, but some seemed really slow and others much faster. Front nine I struggled to get the ball to the hole and on the back I was blowing it past. Fairly typical tree lined layout. Back nine has a double dogleg par 5 that is almost a U shape. Cutting the corner does not help as much as you might think. Traps firm but in decent shape. Most tees in decent shape with some of them fairly beat up.
POP started out fine with a under 2 hr. front even with a 5 some right in front of us and another a few holes in front of them. Back nine was hit and wait. The group in front of us was 1.5 holes behind. This course and policies can easily create 5+ hour rounds. $110 riding including a $25 booking fee. A fun course in good shape.

Played 4/25/25 10:30 am $99 POP 3:50. Course is trying to come out of winter and green aeration. Greens were maybe 50% back from punching with lots of sand & punches prevalent.
Fairways ultra tight and thin. Starting to green, but many brown & bare patches mixed around. Good ball striking required. I was surprised at the turf conditions. I thought they would be further along in the regrowth. It appeared they were gearing up for some pre summer maintenance and preparation. I really enjoy this course but unfortunately not worth the rack rate at this time. Hopefully in the next month with warming temps the course will be back.

Played 4/5/25 12:20 POP 4:15 Course is in overall decent shape. No real bad areas. Greens are 90% healed with remanence of the past punching. Ball wobbled and bounced a little from the faint punch marks & blooming Poana. Speeds were above average. These greens are smaller than average with above average undulations Making them fairly challenging. The fairways had decent coverage with a mix of grasses and mostly green. You will find a mix of lies in the fairways. Traps mostly firm, difficult but consistent. Basic parkland Muni course. You need to be aware of shots that can fly at you or by you from multiple directions. A fun course with friends or beginners.

Played 3/15/25 2pm $65 twilight POP 4:30 Course is still in winter condition. Fairways have good coverage. Mostly thin dormant grass. Many signs of the grass starting to resprout. Another month and they should be mostly green. Greens were in very good shape. Receptive, but a little bouncy and ran on the slow side. The rain has cause a few issues around, but not much. Mostly in the bunkers that were wet firm sand. Overall in decent shape and should be improving.
