The golf course itself is an awesome course, and was in great shape. The operations side leaves a lot to be desired for a course that is so highly praised, and has a high price tag. Restaurant doesn’t open until 10am-11am on the weekend, so plan on grabbing something prior to heading to the course if you want breakfast. $190 greens fee doesn’t include range balls. Pace of play is incredibly slow. They somehow let out a group of 5 people in front of us on a Saturday morning, only to tell them on hole 2 or 3, that they had to split into 2 separate groups, which turned into us waiting on an additional unscheduled group in front of us. There was no Marshall to be found the entire round, on a Saturday, to help keep things moving. We notified the clubhouse, and they said they would address it, but we never saw anyone come out and speak to them. On the back 9, the group of 5 somehow turned into a group of 6, more waiting and no one managing the course. Incredibly frustrating as we planned a golf trip to GJ around this course. The saving grace was the actual course itself, which is a ton of fun. Could have been a fluke day, but the whole day screamed complacency of the front office, and general lack of oversight of the day to day operations.

For $200 you get decent views and many elevated tee shots and that’s about it. Memorial Day weekend and there wasn’t a bev cart out. 5 hour round and didn’t see a marshall the entire day. Didn’t help that they had multiple diabolical pin placements. Course conditions weren’t poor but not on the top end either with multiple bunkers marked as ground under repair and at least 5 tee boxes that you couldn’t find a flat part to hit off of. It’s a cool course so long as you go in with the right mindset but for the price you should be getting a much better experience. I would suggest driving an hour further down the road and play Lakota where you get all the same tee shots, better views and a course that actually prides itself in giving the golfer a good experience.

AMAZING!!! This course is the most fun I've had playing. It challenging (but not frustrating)and exciting and views are breathtaking. Cart path feels like an amusement park ride. It was a fantastic course. Staff was super friendly. All around one of the best golfing days.

Pros: Views Pro style greens They found my wallet Cons: Dandelions in the rough Sand traps need renovation No free range balls (it’s a $180 round) and no dispenser at the range $60 club rental for Strata set we paid $10 at Adobe Creek the previous day Fun destination round, 4 other courses within an hour that I’d come play again though for half the price

We had the unfortunate experience attending a Division II women's college golf tournament at this course. Even though we visit Grand Junction often, this is not a place we will return. The course is beautiful and staff we interacted with were great. However, they seemed unable to pull off a professional tournament with four colleges attending and provide enough information and spectator carts for everyone. Even after calling to ask about spectator carts, the first day was limited to 15 and then a notice to return the carts when we were at the farthest part of the course. The next day, each team was limited to two carts. Because this occurred on a weekend, many family members and grandparents who had travelled to see the tournament attended. While this course is beautiful, walking is a challenge in the valleys and hills. Additionally, $45 per spectator cart was way above what we normally have paid at other courses around the country. I am glad my daughter is a senior and won't be attending this tournament again. I hope the college chooses a different place that is more welcoming to our Division II scholar-athletes.
