Greens were a little firm for my taste....took a little while to get used to...the fairways were in great shape and gave plenty of roll.

The best thing I can say is that I didn't lose any golf balls.

Current rating is about right....course knowledge is key to scoring well here.

Played in GK outing on 4/10. One of the 5 most challenging courses I have ever played overall. No part of the course, from tee to green to trap to rough was not well above average to excellent. The greens were firm and fast with many slopes and tough pin positions. Tee boxes, fairways and rough were all lush and well maintained. The ESA on this course is VERY punitive, it comes into play on every hole, on some hole on both sides from tee to green. And it's closer to the fairway that most courses, anything outside the cartpath is considered in the ESA and a penalty stroke. Definitely not a course for beginners, even good to excellent players will struggle here. Would like to play again now that I've seen the course, several holes you are unsure of where to aim off the tee or what club to hit. A shot makers course, many par 4's probably are NOT driver holes unless you are pretty darn straight and accurate with the big stick.

Everything was nice , just our scores weren't too nice!!!

the greens were lightly sanded 5 days ago, so the greens are very hard and a little on the dry side. They are also slower than normal. Overall, great weather and a good day other than taking 4.5 hours to play on a Friday morning. We were a foursome being held up by a twosome! Nice job of marshalling out there boys!

Very nice course with slick greens. Tee shots are in some cases severe, narrow and forced carries. Overall a great course, we will be back.

excellent service from the time you drive in until you drive out. extremely courteous staff well marshalled to keep the pace of play at 4 -4 1/2 hrs. course in excellent shape. condition of fairways greens and traps excellent. well worth the money. not to forget the practice facilities, superb.

I have played this course a few times, mostly in the summer (August). I actually like the ESAs, as they focus your need to keep it in play, and hat definitely makes you play better. That said, I hope the next casual outing there I can post the MOST balls lost. And the MOST birdies. I like a challenge. Oh, yeah ----- and the MOST CIGARS smoked in a round ... my personal best is (5) ..... ask kviser ......

This is a typical Jack Nicklaus overpriced, underwhelming golf course. It's too tough for high handicappers who spend lots of time trying to find their lost balls, which slows things down if you dare ... Continue »

This is a typical Jack Nicklaus overpriced, underwhelming golf course. It's too tough for high handicappers who spend lots of time trying to find their lost balls, which slows things down if you dare try to play it on a weekend. Comapared to other courses within a reasonable drive (say, 45mins- an hour) it comes up woefully short. Jack designs very tough golf courses, and the staff does not require anyone to play from the correct tees, which for most golfers who aren't delusional...are not the back or the way-back tees. Of course, most golfers want to see "all" the course, and what they wind up seeing is "all" of the waste areas.
I have played this course about 5 times. Every time I have gone, there was another price increase...until I just walked away when they tried to charge "Holiday" rates a couple of days after New Years (not a weekend). There is no way this course can ever be worth $120 to play it when Sandpiper is that price, and Industry Hills, Lost Canyons, and Robinson Ranch all cost less. It isn't sour grapes...I shot a 78 there last time. I just don't get this course or why people rave about it.
