Solid golf course and decent value, I have no complaints. Not especially challenging (which I think is a good thing!)
Played course on 8 February 2026. Course staff was pretty friendly and welcoming from the bag drop to the end of my round. The course has great practice facilities. Multiple putting/chipping greens and a full size range that allows you to hit off grass. As for the course, the tee boxes are level, square, and cut nicely. The fairways are about 80% good everywhere with the exception of a few holes that have muddy or patchy areas. Bunkers could use a bit more sand, especially the green side bunkers but still very playable. The greens are huge!! They roll pretty fast and true. Pretty challenging layout that requires shot shaping and game management. Definitely recommend this course to all. They also give military discount which was a plus.
GCU was in great shape. Fairways and greens were great. It was a surprise to our group how different the course looked because several bunkers were removed or being relocated. In fact #11, par 3, the hill in front of the green was clipped. Previously, you couldn't see the green - it was a blind shot. Now, you can see the green. Nonetheless, we had a great time.
First off the service and staff were top notch! The greens are some of the best in its class (munis), quick and true and they hold the ball well too. Tee boxes were perfect. 👌🏼 Most of the fairways looked good, but there is some room for improvement on some holes. Anybody that's played this course can tell you, it's dominated by large cavernous bunkers, which I think sets it apart, and I like it! The bunkers are strategically placed where driving the ball well and also accurate approaches are a must to stay off the beach. A fun and challenging track that had a well stocked pro shop and a large kitchen and dining area with a full bar and a conveniently placed driving range. I'll definitely be back soon!
Great golf course even better staff! Let our group leave luggage in their office for going to the airport right after. Cannnot recommend enough
