The potential to be a spectacular course. However, it wasn't in very good shape, especially the greens - they were very bushy ... it was like putting on shag carpet. Quite literally potentially the slowest greens I have ever played on. My other big issue is that you need a caddy (or maybe a sherpa) to help guide you around the course - a lot of blind and/or carry shots! They have a guide book, but it is lacking on key details on key holes. A few examples: The first par 5 is a severely down hill dogleg right - the guide only said "it would be wise to stay in the fairway" (duh!), but provided no alignment guide and there was no actual alignment guide either (I got lucky and ended up with a birdie) The 16th is a dogleg right par 4 with an elevated green - the tee shot is awkward, and the guide was decent on it (we won't talk about how poorly I executed though) ... however, for the elevated green the guide only spoke of a Bunker short left to avoid, and the middle of the green is good (duh!), but it failed to say JUST behind that elevated green is a 100+ foot cliff! Not wanting to be short to an elevated green, I took an extra club, saw it bounce somewhere on the right edge of the green, but never found my ball cuz it went over the cliff (had I known, I would have...

Let me just start by saying—the layout is absolutely stunning. Whoever designed this masterpiece must’ve been a farmer with a dream and a six-pack of Coors. Seriously, kudos. You’ll be jaw-dropped by the views before you even slice your first tee shot into the canyon.
But then… the greens. Oh sweet Moses, the greens. They’re deader than my great-grandfather—God rest his soul—and about as smooth as a Walmart parking lot in February. Watching your putt roll is like playing Plinko in a wind tunnel. Drop the ball and pray to the golf gods, because nobody—nobody—knows where it’s gonna end up.
And the fairways? Let’s just say the grass called it quits a while ago. It’s basically a driving range with dirt patches and attitude. Your ball bounces like it’s auditioning for a trampoline competition.
All that said—I still kinda loved it? It’s like dating a supermodel with a black belt in gaslighting. Gorgeous, confusing, slightly abusive, but unforgettable.
Would I play it again? Only if I bring my putter, a shovel, and a priest.

Read moreGave it 4 stars because the views and layout of this golf course are beyond amazing. No other holes/views like it in the state. Absolutely love it. However was really disappointed by the reconstruction of the dam causing the 3rd hole (an awesome par 5) to be eliminated which meant playing 3 par 3’s in a row (which was a little confusing, didn’t exactly know where to go). The fairways were in pretty bad shape. Pretty dry with a lot of patchy weeds. The greens seemed like they haven’t been cut in a couple days. They were about as slow of greens as I’ve ever putted on. Hopefully they get the course back into great shape. I’d like to come back after they figure out what they’re going to do on that 3rd hole. Hopefully it comes back a little of what it used to be (an...
