Canyon West Golf Course — Local services in Weatherford

I'm sure this is a great course [usually], however when I played here this past Saturday, 05/27/2017, there were a few issues we ran into. The main bulk of our frustrations laid within the fact that the greens were in horrific shape. You could not get a ball to roll smoothly for your life, and patches existed across every inch of the surface on every green. Additionally, we had the "marshal" harassing us through the last 5 holes or so - telling us that we had to pick up the pace because we were behind our time. I understand that we were behind - we were a group of 5 and stopped after hole 9 to grab a drink at the clubhouse on our way to hole 10. Asking us to play faster would be one thing, but the appointed ruler of the land tried at one point to tell us that we needed to skip the next hole or two! IF there was a group coming from behind, catching up to us, this would be somewhat understandable. However, the "marshal" himself had confirmed that the group behind us was not even at the tee box on the previous hole while we were finishing at the green on our current hole! When asked why we were being berated so much, he responded with "well, I received a complaint about speed of play from the course pro here and he told me to have you guys speed up". Coincidentally enough, as the "marshal" drove away, we noticed a quite younger man wearing a hat, sitting in a golf cart, with no clubs in the back, watching us and only us play. We decided to approach this individual who confirmed he was the "pro" for the course and proceeded to pose an inquiry as to why we were being told to hurry up and skip holes by the "marshal". This "pro" told us the following: "don't worry about the marshal, you guys are playing fine. no one is even near you, so just finish at your own pace and ignore him." So, we moved on, completed our play and were frustrated to say the least. Lastly, do not expect to see any beverage carts around the course. There are none - which is, as stated previously, why we stopped at the clubhouse after the 9th hole to grab a drink and a bite to eat. FYI - This course is either owned or run by someone who also has Chicken Express franchises which is why you will see certain food items from there on the menu and the use of those copyright cups in the bar area. All I can say is that I do not plan to play this course again any time soon and I hope they get their attitudes and course...

If you're chasing the best views in Parker County, look no further. This course delivers them in spades. Rolling hills, wide Texas skies, views of the horizon, and a supremely inviting layout. The golf experience here is genuinely enjoyable, and with the exception of a diabolical Hole 13, it’s friendly to all skill levels.

No, it’s not the longest or most punishing course out there, but what it lacks in length, it makes up for in versatility. For the most part driver is playable on 14 of the 18 holes, though the course could also be played without one. What Canyon West lacks in brute challenge, it makes up for in fun, pace, and character.

Now, about springtime. If you’ve ever wanted to experience what it’s like to putt through a botanical experiment, come during Poa annua season. This past spring, the greens were so riddled with it that it rendered the entire course near unplayable. Thankfully, the crew rallied, and by summer and fall, the course was back in fine form.

Here’s hoping they crack the Poa code next year.

All in all, this is a great place to play, and the new ownership seems to be taking real pride in the course. However, if the rates keep climbing, SugarTree might want to start prepping for an influx of golfers looking for a...
