Every time I have played this course, I have been very pleased with the clubhouse service, food cart service, and the pace of play. I was reluctant to play this course because so many of my golf buddies would say you cannot read the greens, the greens are too small, and they are impossible to make a putt. So, for over 16 years, I have avoided this course. This is now in my weekday rotation and my weekend "quicky" rotation.

One day, after being so backed up at a nearby course, I booked a tee time, and the first time I played the course, I hit my first 90 for the year - Yes the greens are tough to read. For the first time playing, with all the stories of difficult to impossible greens, I didn't think 90 was that bad. But, the round was completed in under four hours! You don't get that kind of speed unless your are the first or second group out elsewhere.

I wanted to play the course again and played the front nine twice in about 3 hours with a round of 77. A foursome kind of slowed me down on the 8th and 9th hole and the first tee was wide open. My online research of the course paid off, but don't forgo the back nine just because, on the turn, the first hole is open.

The back nine plays harder at times and is very worthwhile. I brought out a foursome today and they are sold on Marshall Canyon as well. The service, the speed of play, and the challenging greens make it a no-brainer. You may become sold on this course too - just like me.
