After finishing the legends course in 3 hrs we went out about 30 minuets later to play the Champions. Thankfully the wind had died down and was about 5-10 mph with the occasional gust to 20mph. Bad news was a thunder storm was brewing. over big bear and was heading our way. Luckily it did not get to us until it started to lighting rain on the 18th green about a POP of 3 hrs. Course was in just as good shape as legends except the sand was a little worse. not sure what is going on there but hopefully they do something soon. This course can be a little more forgiving and requires less than drive on quite a few holes. Unlike legends the champions course goes through the houses so you dont get the seclusion of being in the middle of nowhere. It is a different course so if you buy the golf moose for a round plus replay I Suggest playing champions first then legends so its not a let down on the second round but still a fun track.

Played 4-14-16 early morning as a single and then joining another single for a second round finishing both rounds by 1 o'clock. Tee boxes were in good shape lush and level except for a couple of the three pars which need leveling. Fairways were mostly lush with a few thin spots and some small bare areas. The rough was brutal, long, thick and nasty. I loved it. Bunkers were on the thin side but still okay to hit from. Greens have completely healed from punching, they were soft and a little slow but rolling true. Great 36 hole facility with great customer service from check in to cart barn to starters.

Have been playing at Tukwet often of late, most recently 1/23 Saturday afternoon twosome on The Champions with my 9 year old daughter, best ball of course. The staff is exceptional as a whole, pro shop desk guys always eager to accommodate golfing related requests and preferences. When you purchase your range balls, you pass the attendant your receipt, he passes you a bucket of balls, no coins, no codes,no loud machine, just customer service.

The range is all grass. Two very large putting green complexes, both multi level with not so subtle contours throughout. The chipping area is great, many different shots to practice through its design. Now on to the current conditions of the course Saturday afternoon...

Tee boxes are all fairly level, and because the box has seemingly become more narrow ,and moved more frequently, divots weren't excessive, even on par 3's. I would have to add that they are not as lush as I'd prefer, but not thin enough to complain about, in all honesty.

Fairways are lush in prime spots, perhaps a few spots throughout the course subjected to overwatering that should be GUR. One or two small yellowish/brown areas may dot a few fairways here and there, but no hardpan areas.

Rough is not nearly as penal as in years past, but if you go too far off line you will be taking penalty strokes. No parallel holes here. I would say the rough is 2-3 inches, sometimes a bit difficult to locate ball. Lush near the fairways and canyon terrain over the cart path and OB.

Bunkers can be a strategic mixed bag, most with plenty coverage, a couple hardpan fairway bunkers on a couple par 5's if I remember correctly. Pretty good condition for the rain we've had the previous week.

Unfortunately many patrons who frequent this place don't bother with fixing divots. But because Tukwet is so exceptional in so many facets, this becomes a minor inconvenience. The greens here are littered with unrepaired ball marks, despite the signs imploring golfers to do so, go figure. I fix mine, two other bad ones and move on.

Every time I play a round at Tukwet, it is an enjoyable overall experience, and for $55 its a bargain, IMO. The amenities this facility provides for practice along with the ambience and beauty of the clubhouse could very well supplant OQ as my favorite.

I played yesterday 12/23 on the Champions and teed off about 8:45. Check-in was great, staff was helpful and offered to let us go early if we warmed up quickly. Played the first two holes in fog before it lifted. The course was greener than I though it would be during winter, but most holes had brown dormant patches scattered around. Rough was growing out and was again thicker than I thought it would be. Greens were slow to medium speed and many had pitch marks. My group did our best to fix as many as we saw. I was in two greenside bunkers which were hard-packed after the recent rain and impossible to hit from. The one fairway bunker I hit was also hard-packed and easy to hit from. Many bunkers had standing water in them as well. The tee boxes were hit and miss. The par 4s & 5s were pretty good, but every par 3 tee was mounded and full of divots and sand. Not impressive. Overall, I'd wait to return until springtime or early summer and hope for better conditions.

Played the Blues (6348/71.3/130) with RGM2525 & Vinny in 4H, 15M on a cold, breezy weekday afternoon using an Underpar AD voucher. Solid layout in decent winter condition. A couple of risk/reward par 4's that longer hitters can have a go at the green. The tees were a mixed bag. Most of the par 4/5 tees were well maintained and winter thin. Most of the par 3 tees were in mediocre condition with lots of divots. The fairways were winter thin and well maintained. The rough was winter thin but could be penal. When the ball settled down, it was whack a short iron out and get it back in play time. It looked like they were removing rough and starting a turf reduction project on at least a couple of holes. The sand traps were well maintained with nice sand. The waste bunkers were hard packed. The large green complexes were nicely designed with mounds, slopes and contours to challenge you whether you were on or off the greens. The poa annua greens had way too many ball marks, were firm and putted medium to medium slow speed. This would be a very challenging course to walk, numerous tees were a hike from the last green. Not an overly tight layout, but you cannot miss most fairways here by much without bringing penalty strokes (lost ball bushes & native overgrowth) into play. The carts have advanced GPS where you can check yardages to bunkers, hazards etc. The customer service was excellent. Complimentary range balls and a cart were part of the Underpar voucher I purchased several months ago. Had breakfast before the round, both the food and selection was good. The Champions 18 was not in as good of condition as it's sister Legends course was today. Still recommended for a fun, decently maintained and challenging layout.

Played Champions Course on Labor Day, it wasnt too bad with the heat, frozen G2 Gatorade helped a lot. The course ? I knew that they were getting ready to do maintanence and it really needs some TLC, the fairways are full of green grass but also has way too many dirt patches all over the place, so grooving one down the middle of the fairway was a 50/50 chance of landing on grass or wet dirt. The rough was dead grass for the most part so hit a few shots off the hardpan dirt with utilities and short irons. Greens were slow, I think they watered them heavy to save them from the heat. Bunkers were good, tee boxes also were fine. Hey its drought conditions at so many courses, Bring on El Nino !

Played the blues (6348/71.3/130) with RGM2525 & Brando in 3h, 45m on a very overcast weekday. We all used $43 vouchers for unlimited golf. Played the Champions as the middle 18 out of 54. Played this course several years ago from the blacks in a GK outing when the greens were slick and the rough was high. Much better experience with the rough higher than most courses but still probably 2 inches shorter than last time and the greens medium speed instead of fast. I played about the same and shot 8 strokes better yesterday under more moderate course conditions and moving up a tee. It was certainly a more enjoyable round. Overall, a solid layout in excellent to near immaculate condition except for the par 3 tees. Not an overly tight layout, but you cannot miss most fairways here by much without bringing lost ball bushes & native overgrowth into play. The tees were a mixed bag. Most of the par 4/5 tees were well maintained and lush. Most of the par 3 tees were smaller, more humpbacked and generally in mediocre condition with lots of divots. The fairways were lush, very well maintained. The rough was lush, thick & penal. On the few occasions when the ball sat up, it was good to hit off of. When the ball settled down, it was whack a short iron out and get it back in play time. Plenty tall to catch even shorter irons, but not ridiculously high. The thickness was the penal part, not the height. The sand traps were very well maintained. The waste bunkers were hard packed and usually dirt, the ones I was in did not have sand. The green complexes were nicely designed with mounds, slopes and contours to challenge you whether you were on or off the greens. The large poa annua greens were lightly sanded but it did not really affect play. They putted medium speed, the sign said 9.5 and were firm. With as firm as the greens were, you would have expected them to be faster? While they putted nice, a little faster would have been better. Because of the light sanding, the Legends greens were slightly better yesterday than the Champions greens. The customer service was excellent. Carts have advanced GPS where you can check yardages to bunkers etc. This would be a challenging course to walk. Complimentary range balls and a cart were part of the More Golf Today voucher I purchased several months ago. We got in 54 holes, averaging 3h, 45m per round including time in between to check in, change carts etc. No hassles, everything was great. Both courses were in comparable condition. Highly recommend for a well maintained, challenging layout.

I played here on Friday, May 15, using some online special from Underpar (I think). It was $47 for unlimited play. I arrived at 11:00 a.m. during a moderate, unseasonable rain. The courses were wide open and I played 36 hokes in about 6 hours, catching up and playing with three other guys after about 27 holes. I hit some range balls (included with my coupon) before heading out. Nice gps in the carts with hole flyover and tap for yardage features.This is the greenest golf course that I have played in quite a while. Lush conditions from tee to green. A couple of course personnel were mowing deep rough all over, leaving lots of cut grass everywhere, probably because it was so wet. At least one bunker was being pumped out and many had at least a little standing water in them. I was able to play from three bunkers and despite being saturated, the sand was okay to hit from. The one fairway bunker that I was in was really firm. That helped me make decent contact though. Both the Champions and Legend courses were in similar shape: nicely mowed fairways and primary and secondary cuts in the rough. The deep rough could cover your ball and it was a challenge to make good contact outside the primary cut. It was an enjoyable couple of rounds and for the price I paid, I would make the two hour drive again.
