Morning round on Oaks/Creek in 4.5 hours. Staff is always friendly and efficient. The grounds crew was out mowing portions of the course but the grass is long. The tee boxes are looking a little beat up and thin with broken tees abundant. The rough is Thick and Tall again! Shots from the rough were very difficult if you could find your egg. The mowers were not cutting much if any off the length? The fairways had great coverage but there were many non repaired/unfilled divots on many holes. The traps were all well groomed but a few needed to be raked. The greens still have not healed from the plugging. The green speed was very slow and roll was extremely bumpy. Not sure what they haven't done with them but they're still not back to normal? The place is always busy and parking is not fun at times.

Played the Oaks nine on Saturday afternoon in three hours. Staff did not tell us that a juniors tournament was in front of us OR THAT the greens had been punched!! Sadly NONE of these junior golfers knows how to repair their ball marks either!! Quit after that and returned today for 18 holes on the Oaks/Creek nines in a little over four hours. One group had three holes open in front of them and NO marshal?? The tee boxes are all in good condition but the par 3's have an accumulation of broken tees again. The rough has been allowed to grow again and finding a ball in that stuff can be difficult and time consuming. The fairways have total coverage with nice lies on both nines. The mowers are always out before us on Wednesday mornings so nice lies are expected. The traps are all full of good white sand and they had all been raked nicely. The greens are STILL HEALING on both of these nines and should be another week before they recover. The speed of the greens quickened as our round progressed as did the noticeable amount of plugged holes. The greens were somewhat bumpy but did hold well and rolled pretty true. The winds generally pick up here in the early afternoon and today was windy. The staff is always friendly but sometimes not informative enough. The weekday rates are reasonable for the quality of what is offered.

Played in a high school fundraiser tournament Friday morning in a slow 5.5 hour round. The staff and volunteers did a very good job running the outing. The carts continue to stay in good condition and the staff is always busy. The tee boxes were all in nice condition with good coverage. The rough was the right length to assist wayward shots and a good stroke could be put on your ball if you found yourself in it. The fairways had nice total coverage with a mix of turf but good lies were found on most holes. The traps all have a good amount of sand green side but fairway traps hard and compact. Most traps are filled with nice fluffy white sand and easy enough to hit from. The greens were in fabulous shape with very few ball marks and all had total coverage. The speed of the greens are almost back to their usual quickness and rolling very true. Well struck shots held the greens nicely with little roll out. There are many places to find trouble during a round here and great views from a few holes. Definitely recommended with the reasonable rate and great conditions.

Early Sunday morning round in a little over four hours. The staff is always friendly and busy. Most of the carts do not have windshields which can make for a cold trip around the course if using one. They do allow and have walking rates even on the weekend. The entire course is very flat with many water features which makes walking enjoyable. The tee boxes were all dry, scruffy and full of divots. The rough here is pretty much not present. You might find something similar to rough if you spray one too far from the fairways but most holes have nothing to speak of. The fairways were all dry and patchy for the most part with tight thin lies to hit from. Finding a good lies in the fairways usually requires the use of your foot wedge. The traps are still mostly a hard compact dirt/sand mix with a few having better sand. Most of the traps are damp or filled with runoff which again requires the old foot wedge. The greens were punched about a month ago and are in VERY nice shape with total coverage. The green side sections generally are pretty well kept. The greens were slightly firm with only the best of approach shots finding a spot near their landing area. The speed of the greens was pretty quick with not too many ball marks. There are not many hidden breaks but sometimes you will be surprised with what you don't see. The course might want to consider a name change to GEESE LAKES with the what seems like hundreds of them on almost every hole. There were goose droppings from them on every hole from start to finish even a distance from the water features. The rates and pace of play with the location and two 18 hole layouts make for a good round even with the geese and dry conditions.

Another mid morning round on the Oaks/Creek nines this time in 4.5 hours. Not much has changed since last round other than the greens are in fantastic shape and rolling true. The greens had hardly any marks and are near the speed you usually get during a round here. The maintenance crew were all over the course on their mowers because it's Wednesday. It's actually nice to play right after the course has been cut because the lies are near perfect and wayward shots are much easier to locate and hit. The fairways are in fantastic condition with a few holes having quite a bit of unfilled divots from the approach yardage. They were nice enough on the second nine to dump a small outing into the fray without notice which slowed up play the last few holes. Definitely recommended

Mid morning 4.5 hour round Oaks/Creek nines on a warm spring day. The staff is tops always and the practice facilities were busy as usual. The tee boxes were all trimmed with the par 3's still being mine fields. Maybe the maintenance crew could fill the numerous divots on the par 3's tees? The golfers surely don't. The rough has finally been cut down to a few inches which allows you to locate your ball. Making a decent shot and advancing your ball from the rough is not likely. The fairways have really filled in perfectly with fantastic coverage and great lies on every hole. Hitting a shot from the nearly perfect fairways is great and some roll out can occur with lower trajectory shots. The traps are all groomed very nice and all had plenty of surprisingly dry groomed sand! The greens all have total coverage and hold shots well. There were hardly any ball marks to be found and they were rolling much quicker than the last round. The speed is almost back to what you would find here in most rounds with some difficult to see lines. The course is in excellent condition and should continue to improve with the warmer weather ahead. Weekday rates are reasonable.

Early morning four hour Friday round on a very open course. The staff is very informative and friendly each time here. Still no range just hitting nets and a not so large practice green. The carts are comfortable and equipped with windshields but no GPS. They are still charging very reasonable rates with the redo still in progress. The tee box were all level but somewhat thin and shaggy. There were a couple boxes that were slightly firm making the tee placement difficult. The rough has grown since the last time here and made finding a ball like an Easter egg hunt. The maintenance crew was out mowing the entire course as we played through them at times. The grass clippings and long grass were discouraging. The fairways are filling in with noticeable Kikuyu grass on a few holes which seems to be the ticket. Many golfers neglecting to fill divots on the fairways which is disrespectful to others and hinders the progress of the grounds crew. The lies on the fairways did require a foot wedge at times to get a fair lie but generally the coverage gets better as you progress through the round. The sand traps for the most part had adequate sand which was damp at times. The edges of almost all traps are very shaggy and need attention. The greens had decent coverage with a few having thin/bare spots especially on the first few holes. The condition of the greens was good but the speed was very slow compared to the last round with much less break than you read. The water ponds have definitely filled up and added to the difficulty of play. The location is a little distant for some but definitely worth the drive for those wanting a challenge at a decent rate.

Early Friday morning cool and misty round on the Creek/Stone nines. The staff has always been the best here since the 80's when it was called Rainbow Canyon. It's been awhile since playing the Stone nine which has been shortened to a par 35 with the first hole now a par 4. I'm sure those that were having their vehicles damaged in the parking lot had something to do with that! The carts are nice with fairly accurate GPS. The tee boxes were all level with good coverage except for the par 3's which were a real mess of deep divots and spotty grass. The wet rough was extremely thick with fresh cut grass clippings/mounds that made finding a ball in it nearly impossible. If you could find your ball in the rough hitting from it was not fun. The grounds crew was mowing the rough and fairways as we were playing which became slightly bothersome. The freshly cut fairways were a beautiful emerald green with total thick lush coverage. There are many unfilled divots on the fairways usually found from about 150 yards and in on the par 4 and 5 holes. Great coverage of the fairways with the freshly cut grass made for perfect lies and pretty nice roll. The traps are always damp and difficult to hit from every time we play here which is really a bummer. The traps do have good sand and plenty of it but many golfers neglect to rake them. The weekday rates are acceptable and they do offer walking rates for those that like to do that and save some money.

Mid morning five hour round on a cool cloudy Thursday. The staff and practice facilities are great. The carts are large and comfortable and also in nice condition. The tee boxes are all level with total coverage and well kept. There are many boxes to choose from which is good for all skill levels. The rough was in perfect shape and just thick enough to slow down your shots before they disappeared. You could put a good swing on it from the rough which was nice. The fairways were probably the best conditioned of any course I've played in many years. The lies were perfect, the grass was lush and green cut at the perfect length. The marshal said to not be concerned with divots as the grounds crew filled all of them during the last two hours of their shift. I asked if they were hiring! The deep sand traps had plenty of well prepped white fluffy sand that was really great to swing from. The large greens were the best with plenty of roll total coverage with no ball marks and extremely quick. The pin placements made attacking them not in the best interest for scoring. Well struck shots would hold but if you came in low you found yourself off the back quickly. The layout and setting of this place with top notch course conditions make it a pleasure to play.

Mid morning round in slightly over four hours. The staff is always great and friendly. The carts are great and have pretty accurate GPS. The driving range is closed on Thursday mornings for those who don't know. The tee boxes were all level with real good coverage and level. The lush green rough was cut in the morning at the perfect height to keep shots in play and allow for a decent swing if you found it. The fairways all have total coverage with the warmer weather starting to make the Bermuda come alive. Good lies from start to finish and good roll if you found the middle of them. The traps all have enough sand but a few I found had small to large size pebbles and small rocks. There are many traps on the course and often very deep. The greens had just been punched within the last two days and rates discounted for those playing today. The greens are usually really quick with a lot of break and today they were surprisingly quick even with the sand and holes. I would give it a couple of weeks and the entire course should be in prime condition. The course has a nice layout and water comes into play on a few holes. The rates are reasonable during the week but a little high on weekends. Always easy to recommend

Early morning weekend round in 4.5 hours. The staff is always really great here but other than the carts that's about it. We had not played here in quite awhile after the last visit. The practice facilities are adequate and located close to the clubhouse. The carts are probably the most comfortable of any I've ridden in recently. They do have GPS which is helpful for newbies and fairly accurate. The tee boxes were all thin, shaggy and surrounded by clover. The rough is little more than huge spotty sections of six inch long clover and weeds. So Sad. If you could find a ball in the stuff you would not be able to hit from it. The fairways were thin and weed filled with sections of clover everywhere from start to finish. The gophers have taken over sections of the fourth hole and were in action as we teed off. There are many fairways that you would have to move your ball on to find any grass. The clover in the fairways would hide balls which found the thick healthy rabbit food. The traps for the most part were fairly well groomed but lack sand and were wet with large pebbles. You had to remove your ball from many that were impossible to play from. So Sad. The greens which years ago were so nice have continued their decline as well. There are section of bare spots on several holes which your putt cannot roll through? The old cup placements on a few holes are craters where you cannot putt across. The bumpiness and speed coupled with the massive amounts of poa present on every green is frustrating to experience. Obviously the maintenance crew is understaffed and the course conditions ARE REALLY suffering!!! They have kept rates very reasonable for the local area but with the conditions not worth the rates. SO SAD

Late afternoon Oaks/Creek nines 4.5 hour round on a busy course. It's been over a year since playing here after having been a member for many years. The staff is always great and the practice facilities always busy. The carts are still looking good with gps that is somewhat accurate. They do allow walkers which saves you $20 per player. The tee boxes were in great shape with total coverage. The rough still is very thick but only a few inches long but still difficult to locate a ball in and usually hard to advance it as far as you would like. The fairways were all in fantastic condition with plush green grass cut at just the right length. They were not damp or dry which allowed for good roll until the rough gets in the way. The traps all have nice sand and are well groomed. There are some with large pebbles that find their way onto the greens during the day. The greens were very nice with total green coverage but very slow. The practice greens were quick as usual but the entire round our group found them ALL to be extremely slow. Probably the slowest I have ever seen them in the 40 years of playing here. They held shots well and rolled true but very slow with not as much break as usual. The weekday afternoon rates make the place reasonable. The morning rates and weekend rates have become too much for the average golfer to stomach in comparison to other local facilities. Love this place but will only be out when the rates allow.
