Amazing Course

I played here with 2 buddies while on vacation for a friend's birthday, and what an experience it was. The course conditions are immaculate, the design is fantastic, pace of play was great, and everyone was super friendly. It was just the right amount of challenge to be fun without being discouraging. Greens were fast but true and fair. Scenery and wildlife on the course were a huge plus. I live 2 hours away, and I might have to make a day trip back just to play it again soon!

Very Nice Course

The playing conditions were absolutely perfect. The fairways were well maintained. However, some of the tee boxes were in poor shape and the greens were just punched, which made the putts hard to gauge. Overall, the golf course is of good quality.

Challenging and fun course

Course is in good shape and buy a yardage book as the course is unique in it’s layout & the carts don’t have gps. Bring an extra sleeve of balls and have fun.

Very disappointed

This was my worst golf experience in my life. The greens were aerated the day before I went golfing and there was so much sand on the greens you cannot even see the grass. It was like putting on the beach. Most time you look forward to putting on the greens but not this time it was miserable I wish I could’ve got my money back I would like to go again when the greens are nice they didn’t tell me ahead of time but the greens were in such bad shape very disappointing

Excellent Track, very rude and non - courteous Staff!

Pulled up, beautiful drive up appearance to the clubhouse. No greeting from Pro Shop staff. There were two, talking to each other. Walked up to counter still not welcomed. It was approximately 1015 am.

Proceeded to check in, went very smooth. The Staffer actually comped us a bucket of balls, thanks!

My girlfriend was browsing the merchandise. I decided to go to the bar. Dining room, Bar area looked welcoming. Until I met the bartender. He was an older gentleman, very sloppily dressed( it looked as if he wore his work shirt to bed). He was doing side work, squeezing oranges. I said good morning. He wasn’t too pleased that I was about give him business.

I said hello, barely audible he returned the salutation. I asked him what was good this morning, he opened his arms, “what you want”? Ok, no suggestions from Bartender, so I ordered a Bloody Mary. He had no enthusiasm, no gratitude, bodily gestures were, ok, I’ll make it. I inquired about the ingredients, no comment. He prepared it, I paid. Left him $5 tip for $10 beverage. Hoping that would improve his morning.

Came across several outside service staff, carts, etc. not one good morning, no hello, no welcoming, thanks for being here.

Course was in decent shape, tee boxes were not too defined, sand traps were not trimmed on cuts, previous ball marks were not growing in or a possible fungus. Greens rolled well, very fast, with a lot of roll out. Overall great looking course, just missing the details of beautiful property.

After 9 stopped in for a drink, we wanted a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, bartender proceeded to look for it. Could not find, settled on Chardonnay. The bar area was a little busy with the several tables of men discussing the play. Paid for wine, went to finish round. Passed by the Pro shop, starter was there head down counting or completing administration. Didn’t acknowledge or inquire how the round was going. Not friendly staff at all. Not happy that we ere there paying close to $100 per round.

Finished round, proceeded to the restaurant/bar for refreshments, arrived at approximately 345/4. Bartender was there. We wanted to get a something. Asked bartender, he raised his hands mumbled something. Stated that they just changed POS system, he declared I hate it. We finally ordered, he struggled finding the item on the pos.

Received our Seafood Louie. Umm no eggs, inquired why. He didn’t know it came with boiled eggs. The kitchen was working on preparing 1000 island, they were out. Bartender was getting off and was chatting with some fellas at bar. Not at all professional. He finally proceeded to move to a table to have conversation.

There was a bright spot, a new bartender came on and seemed to be a nice change. He went and got additional 1000 island. Being in the golfing industry, this struggle we deal with all the time. Without constant training, being on the floor, working with staff, seeing what our Guests see, smell and feel. It is not going to just happen.

This is not a staffing issue. This is a training issue, follow up issue, listen in on staff while management observes and corrects.

Thanks

Good course

Good course. Booking through GN saved a bunch of money. Rates through course are a little pricey. Challenging holes, some blind tee shots. Would be nice if there were more signs directing golfers what to expect/ distances. Beautiful course with a good balance of par 3’s. Also nice to see many friendly deer out.

A wonderful round with fall foliage

Played monday shotgun. Pace was good. The green speed was finally more manageable for my game compared to the 12-13 speed last time I played.

The course is now surrounded by the fall colors and the temperature is in the high 60s -- perfect fall golf round.

I appreciate the beauty of this course a lot more. I always play both greenhorn and copper-valley when I come up. compared to copper-valley, Greenhorn is much more demanding (and ego-rewarding) on accurate tee shots and the green is less undulated to read more easily. Copper-valley has more wider fairways but greens are more undulated / uneven to manage.

Greenhorn has more memorable holes to me (when my tee shots are accurate to put me in attack positions) but scores are less memorable. I usually shot lower at Copper-valley. Both are wonderful great courses with different flavors and both require my A games.
