From tee to green, one cannot help being captured by the traditional and yet interesting design and routing, as well as the varied topography. The course is difficult and challenging, especially the greens, but not unfair.

Ridge is a really fun and unique course in the middle of nowhere. It’s a modern layout with plenty of room in the landing areas. Some of the greens are a bit extreme, but still fair if not above the hole. Some great views on the top of the mountain on the back 9.

Springdale is a decent course all around. Nothing spectacular, but everything’s pretty good. A solid range and practice facility and an old school golf course. A bit short for the modern game, but still fun for all skill levels. Conditions usually are good, not great.

Great course that makes you really play the course and not just mindlessly hit your shots. The rough and bunkers are real obstacles: if you want to score then you’ll have to keep it in the fairway.

Been here a bunch. Wish it was more walkable. The greens are super simple and semi-flat, so I seem to putt great here. Otherwise it’s nothing special, some good holes and well kept course conditions. Plenty of birdies to be had on easy par 5s and short 4s.

Jasna is cool new school golf course. A few interesting holes, good mix of Par 3’s. 2 drivable Par 4’s. Has the unnatural look a lot of the TPC’s have. Greens weren’t the quickest but they were smooth.

A very friendly laid back small club. The course is very flat and sits on a very below average piece of land. While the front 9 starts strong, the stretch of 6-9 tends to blend together. Lots of tree lined straightaway par 4s.

Course is just ok, conditions are spotty, a few of the holes are interesting. Winds around a housing community, so layout was probably forced around it. Nothing special but not a bad day.

Man is this a frustrating golf course. It’s short and quirky as can be, which gives you plenty of chances to score, but even more chances to ask what was going on in the architecture of the property.

For a school course it is not bad. Not much thought went into the layout, but it’s semi-interesting and usually in fine shape. 5 Par 5’s and 5 Par 3’s also throws a twist into things.
