Winter is not helping this course

Great layout but greens rough. Winter is hard on golf courses at 8,000 feet! 2 years ago much better conditions.It would be appropriate to reduce rates when course conditions are poor.

Poor shape

The greens were in really poor shape and the fairways were could have been much better. It is not worth more than Fifty bucks and that is because of the location and the tree lined fairways. Snow creek golf course is no better. I have played both about 10 times each in past years and they were always in decent shape. They lost me this time. The clubs will stay home in my future stays at Mammoth.

Not worth it now.

Greens were terrible shape. Lot of bear spots on greens. Not worth the money now. Paid $ 175.

Greens have improved from two months ago. However, several were still in bad shape.

Hate to say

Well, I have played this course probably 6 times over the years. This trip had the worst course conditions I have ever played. Don't get me wrong I love this course and will continue to play it but at the new more expensive rate they could do better. Most of the greens were in terrible shape. They have been replacing the cart paths which is needed but not keeping the course itself in shape. Great staff! Love the area but try to get as many green fee discounts as you can to compensate for the poor conditions. I do realize that this is a mountain course so I understand the harshness of the elements but they should tell you when you book not when you arrive for your T-time?

Poor greens

As beautiful as this course was tee to green, I wouldn’t play it again or recommend it to anyone AT THIS PRICE based on the damaged conditions of the greens. Most of them were pretty much unplayable. Any putt that happened to bounce in was luck.

That said, the staff other than the course maintenance guys were extremely friendly.

Overpriced for poor conditions

We got a “great” deal at just over $310 for our foursome.
This course is HARD! We are reasonably decent golfers and even with the altitude helping us out, I only shot 80.
The fairways are great but condition of the greens is abysmal. For the price paid, we’d expect much better conditions. We have better greens at our local Par 3 dog track.
Obviously there’s not much competition in the area, but we will leave our golf elsewhere. Don’t need to return here.
