Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!Played 10/19/25 @ 0900. What a sad day to find out one of my favorite courses is being cut down once again! Hole #15 (a par 5) is now going to be a permanent par 3. They are redoing the scorecards because the course is now a par 69 instead of a par 71. Conditions of the course are fair to good at best. They had us playing the red tees the entire day. Tee boxes were not very level and you really have to look to find a level spot. Fairways were soggy in the morning but dried up towards the afternoon, but people were still driving in the wet spots and making a mess. Sand traps are always a mixed bag here, so try and stay out of them. Some are hard as a rock with little sand in them and some are decent. Greens were bumpy but rolled fast. Many unrepaired ball marks on almost every green. It's a shame what they're doing to this course by taking away a really fun par 5. I probably won't be playing here very often anymore...
Played 10/15/25 @720. All 18 holes are now open, they said all the major improvements have been completed. There are still some items being worked on peripherally but all the fairways are open with some occasional GUR areas. Great playing conditions all around. It was cart path only today because of all the rain yesterday but everything was in great shape. Tee boxes were very level with minimal issues. Fairways were soggy but dried out towards the afternoon. Sand traps were very consistent- nice and fluffy (both fairway and greenside). Greens were rolling awesome! They were very quick but held nicely with approach shots. They also became quicker once the sun came out. Many multi-tiered greens made putting fun or frustrating depending on your perspective. I'm glad they finally got everything straightened out because this is one of my favorites in the higher end course category.
Played 8/26/25 @ 0640. Saw there wasn't a review of the course since 2024... Course is playing really nice right now. Tee boxes mostly level with the par 3s having some large divots. Fairways with great coverage, if you play in the afternoon, you will get a ton of roll after your ball lands. Rough almost non-existent, there are some soggy spots under the trees due to the over watering because of the heat. Sand traps were ok, not sure if it's dirt or a mix of sand and dirt, but try to stay out of them. Thin top layer with a hard bottom layer that will make you skull your shots. Greens were rolling nice with a few unrepaired ball marks. Greens are usually faster when playing in the afternoon. Customer service was great- quick and easy check in at the pro shop, restaurant with a good selection of alcohol to help you get through the rough rounds...
Played 8/6/25 712am tee time. Haven't been out here in a while since I thought the price went up. Turns out the price isn't the same on Golfnow versus the course website. Golfnow is $92.49, course website $60- really big difference... Now the course is back in my golf groups' rotation. Conditions were great with some overwatered spots here and there (probably due to the heat). Tee boxes were good for the most part with a few crowned areas from the blue tees (today they had a few blues playing from the blacks). Fairways had good coverage with a few thin areas here and there- mostly tight lies with good cushion underneath. Rough only a couple inches longer and easy to get a club on the ball. Sand traps were really nice- I've been playing here for a long time and they're the best I have ever seen them right now. Greens were rolling nice and smooth, but got faster once the temperature started rising. Great customer service in the pro shop and the cart barn. Will definitely be back soon if the conditions stay the same.
Late review of the course. Played 7/24/25 @ 835am... When I heard the news that Glen Annie was being torn down for housing, I had to get over here. One of my favs in the area second to Sandpiper. I was heartbroken to find out what they're planning to do to such a fun course. This course will not beat you up with it's length, but you have to be accurate if you don't want to lose a lot of balls. Tee boxes ok for the most part with the par 3s on the chewed up side. Fairways can be a little thin since most of the course is on a hill. Rough almost non-existent and sporadic at best- it's almost the same length as the fairway. Sand traps are crap I'm not gonna lie- small to large rocks mixed in with dirt. Greens rolled nice and smooth and only got bumpier toward the afternoon. A really fun and enjoyable course! If you have been wanting to play here or if you have played here before and liked it, you better get up here soon, it might not be here for much longer...
Played 6/4/25 @ 1240pm. It was getting a little warm when we started, by the end it was HOT! They completely leveled all the tee boxes and revised the greens. Tee boxes- it really makes a huge difference playing from a level area. They are all new, so there were no problems there. Fairways were nice with a few brown spots here and there. The two sand traps that I had were great. Rough was just a little longer than the fairway- it's a resort course so it won't beat you up. The greens were something else altogether... They are still brand new and still settling in. They were hard as a rock and even well struck shots were bouncing off the back. The starter said play everything 10 feet short and have it bounce up because they're not going to stop. Very hard to figure out the greens until they settle in. I've seen the conditions better, but all in all it's still a wonderful course. One of my favs here.
Played 5/28/25 @739am. Course is playing really nice right now. Tee boxes mostly level with some uneven spots on the par 3s. Fairways with great coverage and a couple of trouble spots here and there but nothing too severe. Rough was thick and juicy in the morning because of the dew. Sand traps were a mixed bag with good sand in some and some were hard pan with rocks. The two fairway bunkers I was in were great. The greens were awesome and were the highlight of the course. They are rolling well right now and are very receptive to well struck shots. If you can get out here anytime soon you won't be disappointed.
Played 3/24/25 755am walking. They will be closed 3/25/25 for aeration. I thought they had just completed it, but they have signs all over the place. Really good senior rate here with the senior membership. Tee boxes were good but some were a little shaggy, par 3s had large divots taken out of them. Fairways with good coverage with most of the bare spots where you shouldn't be anyway... Sand traps were a mixed bag with some that were playing good with a lot of sand and others, not so much. Rough is only a couple of inches longer than the fairway and doesn't affect the ball much. Greens were rolling really nice and smooth. It's a shame they have to punch them right now...
Played 12/19/24 @ 0700. I was initially placed with a twosome and a single, but the starter was nice enough to let me out on my own. Thank goodness, cuz I was able to finish in 2 hours 27 minutes as a single- and I was taking my time. One of my favorite courses to play when I'm up here. I love the layout and all the elevation changes throughout. Good grass coverage unless you're in the outer edges, but you shouldn't be there in the first place. Lots of native areas in the back nine. Fairways were kind of dormant because of the time of year, rough easy to get out of and didn't affect ball contact that much. Greens were nice and receptive and rolled well. The sand traps... just stay out of them! They're the only thing that is holding this course back. It's just dirt with a lot of rocks and pebbles that will mess up your wedge. The views on the back nine are pretty spectacular!
Late review but I saw that the last review was some time ago... Played 8/27/24 @ 150pm POP was alright, finished just at 4 hours. Tee boxes were a mixed bag with some being really beat up. They moved us way up today, almost to the red tees. Fairways were good with some trouble spots here and there. If you use a cart, beware- it is really bumpy everywhere you drive. I'm not really sure what causes this- gophers, not aerating. It's just not fun when you're riding along and all of a sudden- BUMP! and your kidney lands on your lap. Rough was not too penal, but it will affect the path of your club if you're not careful. Sand also wasn't too bad, but there were some troubled ones with some thin sand in them. Greens were aerated not too long ago and some of them had some significant issues- holes 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Hole 9 was the worst one in terms of condition, there was no place they could put the pin and not have bumps that would affect your ball. If you can get through all of that, it's not such a bad place...
Played 8/16/24 @ 930. The course is in rough shape, they are getting ready to shut down for fall maintenance and some of the areas are being let go. Several bare spots in the fairways and around the greens. The greens are running really slow and they are really bushy. Sand traps are really a mixed bag with some being just dirt. The design is great, but the conditions are really bringing it down. It's too bad because they are running a beat the heat call-in special ($49 9a-11a until 8/31/24). After that they're going to shut down for 2-3 weeks altogether.
Played 1/14/24 @ 10am. This a private club that opens it's doors on Sundays along with an awesome breakfast/lunch buffet with made to order omelets. It's a great deal for what you get especially this time of the year when they jack up all the prices for the snow birds. The course is lush and green. The rough is juicy and sometimes thick the farther from the fairway you get. Tee boxes level with some divot issues on the par 3s. Fairways were wonderful with no coverage issues at all. Sand traps with ample fluffy sand that made it easy to get out of them. Greens were rolling smooth but not overly fast. I always have a good time playing here, I gain a few pounds from eating so much, but that's a small price to pay...
