I'd rate this 3.5 stars if I could. Played for the first time on a sunny October afternoon. Price was $40 for 18 with cart. Friendly younger guy working the pro shop said "have it back by sunset and we're good." There are some very nice holes and course is generally VERY open. I hit driver on every non-par 3, which I don't get to do very often. Local knowledge is going to be helpful on a few tee shots (keep left on #5, no driver on #8). Listed at 6600-ish from blue tees. I felt it played a little shorter with several elevated tees. The course condition is mediocre; fairways were long and bunkers and off-fairway areas were unkempt. The greens did run true even though they did have some moss/weeds. The guy below who called it Spirit Airlines Economy has it about right. It's not a fancy resort course, but for $40, sure, it was worth playing.

My wife and I played this course a few years ago while on vacation early June. We are seniors with bogie handicaps and are not golf snobs. At that time, we thought the course was in pretty bad shape and decided that we would never play it again. However, after seeing that it had a decent rating this year, I thought that they must have greatly improved the course, so we played it again. Big mistake. The course is in no better shape this year that it was the last time we played it. I'm guessing that the owner is paying people to give it a good review. The practice green was half dead and the greens on course were half sand and half struggling grass (very slow). The fairways are a mixture of several types of grass and weeds, including big patches of clover and dandelions. Some of the bunkers had standing water (6 inches) and weeds growing in them while others had very little sand and weeds growing in them. There are apparently no power cart rules since there are well worn power cart paths everywhere, including circling some of the greens. People drive power cars right up to and around the greens. We payed $156 for the two of us on Sunday including cart. We would not play this course again for half the price and do not recommend it for anyone.

Compared to the Arnold Palmer design golf course, west of Klamath, which is like the Business Class of Emirates, the Shield Crest Golf Course would be Spirit Airlines Economy. Play both and you will understand.

Worst course I have ever played! T boxes greens are a disaster!!!! And to navigate to the next hole is a disaster!!!!! Paid 78 dollars for that crap!!!!!

Brandon, Brock and the crew are awesome. Always friendly and helpful. Course is well laid out with beautiful views. Grounds crew does a great job keeping the course looking great. Don’t forget to stop by and grab a cold beverage and some lunch from Ali in the restaurant. Prices are good and the other golfers are friendly. The only complaint I have is the pro shop needs to carry Calaway.
