Excellent Father's Day Golf Outing
Course was great, staff was personable, and the food was good (and free for fathers). Pace of play was just right, as was the weather. No drink / food carts however.
Great course with some repairs needed
The green condition is excellent. But the fairway has too many spots that need repairs. The areas near the GUR spots were over-watered and became soggy -- good luck if your tee shots were trapped there but can't get a relief to replace it :-/
Bunkers had lots weed screens exposed and some had lots of weeds. The green keeper needs to plan and spend to take care of these bunkers otherwise they can ruin a otherwise good course.
Overall it's still a great course. but comparatively the nearby greenhorn has clear higher quality now where they used to rival each other in my opinion.
MANY sand traps, but in Verrrryy POOR condition
Let the public know ahead of time about the dirt like conditions of "sand" traps ........ really takes away from round....... would avoid till corrected ....
Lack of course knowledge and with windy conditions it was tough. However the course is in excellent condition. Just wish it was a little closer to home but I will definitely come back soon.
I love this course
This is my favorite course within driving distance (I'm about an hour away). The course conditions are usually quite good, but they were absolutely excellent for my round yesterday. It's a true mountain course; the holes meander through the hills and are not stacked up next to each other. If you spray it very far off of the tee your ball will be gone, but the fairways are actually quite wide. The course doesn't play very difficult from the white tees, but the blues and blacks can make it really long.
The only downside is that they sprayed the greens with fertilizer that had a green tint and it made the color artificially bright. I imagine this will wear off almost immediately, though, so it shouldn't be a deterrent for anyone looking to play in the future.
Bunkers
The only downside for a course of this quality and price is that many of the bunkers are not in good shape. Visible underlayment and little sand. Otherwise, great rolling hills layout good condition fairways and tees, fast greens. It is also a long drive from anywhere unless you live in the foothills so it is a destination course
Saturday round
No cart beverages person on course for Saturday, go into the turn, ordered food from cart to pick up, no one in bar, food service area, waited for 7-10 min, said forget it! Had a group playing in front we caught on 8th hole, and they were drinking more than they wanted to play golf!,
TGC @ Copper Valley - A Great Experience!
This was my first time playing Copper Valley and I was very impressed. Your first impression is a good one as you walk into a very nice clubhouse/lobby and it only gets better from there. The staff were friendly and set us on our way to the practice range where you have complimentary balls to hit (on grass) as you warm up prior to your tee time. The carts were included with our fee and came with GPS so we knew approximate distances from our ball to the hole. The carts had ball washers, club washers, bluetooth (if you wanted to play music) and a cooler for ice/drinks. Very nice touch!
The course itself was absolutely gorgeous. It was a beautiful drive and there are some very great visuals on some holes where you have downhill shots. The course had aerated their greens earlier in the week, but honestly the greens were not bad at all! We never had any crazy action when putting and honestly on some holes I had forgotten they even did the aeration. They did a great job in that regard. Pace of play lagged a little at times due to a slow group in front of us (taking multiple practice swings, taking forever to read greens, etc.), but that was the only blemish on the day.
We ate at the restaurant after the round and the food was delicious. Their beer-battered fries are insanely good and the eagle burger and crispy chicken sandwich we ordered came out piping hot and everyone enjoyed their food.
I would absolutely return to this course again. It was a great experience from start to finish.
Punched & sandy greens
It should be declared on golf now or any other service used to book T times. I love the course , but I wasn’t happy with driving nearly 45 minutes to put upon sand. And the sand traps need a lot of work for sure. It’s time to spend some money on the sand traps to go along with the wonderful course layout.
The course was closed
My 1pm tee time was active on golf now yet you were closed for sanding the greens and of course you website did not tell me that.
Except for the sand traps
Because I couldn’t keep out of some of the traps, I found them to be in less that what you would expect for a course of this caliber.
Not a $100 dollar a round course right now
Been here several times and everytime the course looks worse and worse, weed liners in bunkers are showing in almost every bunker… some bunkers have knee tall weeds growing. The greens were recently Aerated when we went this time but the holes were absolutely demolished… some of them wouldn’t even hold the flag up. Chris in the club house is great, wait staff and bartenders are great. The pizza on the turn and dinner after was great… the course is just looking rough… I would not pay $100 to play here.
104 temp
Even at high temp the course was in good condition overall. Some areas were over watered, but tee boxes and greens were great.
Merced player
Great day in all the greens are fast and fairways very nice all around a great course some sprinkler under repair
Awesome course
Beautiful course. Was a little challenging but very fun to play.
Course is awesome. Played it back in February of last year it was great then and even better now. Pro shop staff is great. Very friendly made you feel welcomed. Only complaint is that I wish I would have played better but there’s always next time. Highly recommended golf course. Came from Elk Grove but we’ll worth the hour 20 drive to get there. Thanks for having us copper valley
