Really disappointed. It was my first time there and excited to shoot a new course. Looks nice when you pull in but the course was in rough shape.
The fairways were rough and the bunkers were not sand. They were grass, weeds, leaves and dirt patches.
Very disappointed.

The fairways are not cleaned off and have zero grass. It was like hitting off concrete. Greens have big dead patches. Tee boxes are too close to each other and torn up. Not sure what renovations are happening because I sure didn’t see any and will probably never go back to find out. Hope this course can turn it around because it could be decent.

This course has potential, but it’s going to take time and consistent maintenance to bring it back to where it should be. I’ve played here twice—once last year under the previous ownership, and again last week—and while I’ve noticed improvements, there’s still a long road ahead to undo years of neglect.
The greens are in nice shape overall and roll well with only a few minor issues, but the fairways and especially the tee boxes are extremely hard. Breaking a tee on nearly every hole is a guarantee, which takes away from the playing experience a bit when your tee is leaving white marks on your driver.
One thing I really enjoy here is the layout. The course offers a nice mix of shorter par 4s where you can be aggressive, along with some challenging doglegs that bring water hazards into play in just the right spots to make you think about your shot selection. There are also a couple of holes that have tee boxes right next to each other, which is a bit unusual and cramped feeling, but it doesn’t take away too much from the overall experience as long as the other people are respectful.
That said, I do see progress compared to last year, and the location of this course is excellent. I’d much rather see a golf course here than another subdivision, so I truly hope ownership continues the restoration efforts and this course is here for years to come.
As for priorities, I’d recommend starting with the tee boxes, improving drainage and irrigation, then addressing fairways and bunkers. More people are going to notice the condition of the tee boxes before anything else (besides the greens), since they’re used on every single hole, which makes them the most obvious area in need of attention.
For now, I give this course 3 stars. There’s plenty of room for improvement, and with the right care and effort, it has the potential to return to its prime. It’s understood that this restoration will take years, requiring steadfast patrons who treat the course with respect and management and staff who remain committed to creating the best experience possible for everyone who visits. Hoping to revise my review down the road as the course improves more.

I’ve been going to Cedar Glenn for just a few years, recently I noticed they got a drainage system and the course is dry! The new owners have definitely been doing a lot of hard work on the course and it shows! Nice and quiet course with friendly staff, I’d definitely recommend coming to play here.

⭐ 1/5
“AC” was an extremely hostile cashier/employee, which set a negative tone right away. The greens themselves were nice, but the golf carts were terrible— ⭐ 1/5 quality. Our cart’s belt broke on hole 2, and despite calling, no one answered the phone for 45 minutes. By the time a replacement cart arrived, we were stuck behind a league.
To be fair, the rest of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. However, the experience with AC overshadowed everything. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but I’m not willing to gamble my time or money here again.
