Golf Course Reviews
Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!I bought a stay & play pkg and played Creek & Oaks Sunday 12/2/2018. We were scheduled to play Monday too but left due to course condition and hotel facilities. Pro Shop staff was fast and efficient but teed off late. Turned out there was a scramble right in front of us. The pace of play wasn't bad but the conditions were really disappointing at TCGC. The Oaks course greens had punch marks on half the green making them bumpy. Though it's been years since I held a JC Resort card and played TCGC, don't recall TCGC ever looking that poor. From a distance, however, courses looked ok. It wasn't till I discovered cart path only on some holes and walked to my ball that I notice fairways being ridiculously tight, often sparse sometimes mushy. Put a nice swing on the ball and my club head was covered in mud, and the divot was just a smooth cut of mud. I won't go into what happened to my dinner in the restaurant and loud noise that lasted all night. Just finish by saying, we won't be going back and I am sure to inform colleagues and friends.
I've played Redhawk Golf Club and every other course in the surrounding valley - nothing compares to Redhawks typical course conditioning, customer service and value.
It's a shot makers course that understand the value of self-control and course management. Some holes play short, others play longer depends on conditions, most holes will test some aspect of our game. Typically greens run fast and true, and fairway speeds and undulations feed the rough or hazards. When you think you've put one down the middle, you could find it your ball in the rough. Ball control is at a premium at Redhawk, least in my opinion.
The only negative I can share is pace of play; something I am not sure can be remedies without dramatic controls that could have different consequences. It's a very difficult course, from any of the tees for the average golfer. Knowing that, is why I take the annoying pace of play with all the good.
If you want to play a course that is in great condition most of time, plays like a pro tournament venue and you can take what it gives you you'll enjoy Redhawk as much as I do.
