Whew, where do I start. What a weird scene at Cedar Ridge. No tee times just line up, rogue fivesomes bouncing around the course, and awesome scenery. If you want to beat the heat its worth it though. Not expensive, course in really good shape. Nice Fairways that are super lush. 3 greens are recovering from sickness but not too bad. The rest ran really smooth. Bunkers fair and tee boxes were in good shape. Gas golf carts that really zoom too. Fun times!

It was a little early in the season to truly enjoy Cedar Ridge. It's a great layout. Not the type of golf course you can just pull out your driver and whack away. It makes you think. Unfortunately, and this is no fault of the golf course or the staff, it's still winter in Cedar City, Utah. I think we jumped the gun a little bit.

First of all, a weather report. I am from Southern California, and I have played golf in some fairly cold weather out at Goose Creek or other golf courses in the Inland Empire in the winter time. Prior to this round, the coldest golf I ever played was out in Las Vegas at Angel Park. This round at Cedar Ridge is now in first place for the all time freezing temperatures and high wind! To put it into perspective, my playing partner only made it to the 7th hole before he sat in the cart shivering, while I was able to finish 9 holes and call it a day!

About the course. There's a lot of Maintenance going on and a lot of bare spots both on the fairways and in the rough. This is probably because I think the snow just melted last week. There was a bit of heavy equipment and a few landscapers dressed in snowsuits out on the course fixing a variety of sprinkler and other issues. Amazingly enough, the greens were almost in perfect condition. I don't know what condition the sand traps are normally in, but they were filled with red dirt, and not really sand. Overall, the turf grass was spotty at best.

I noticed that the tea boxes were not very level. I'm not usually picky about the condition of tea boxes because, well, I use a tee! But for some reason I could not find a flat spot to hit off of.

Kudos to the Pro Shop staff for giving us a coupon good for one year for 9 holes of golf! I will be back when the course is in better shape and I won't be freezing my ass off!
