A few suggestions

Course had some bad spots…. Large muddy spots, some soggy fairway spots, a couple greens and even tee boxes were soggy in spots, way over watered. One fairway was torn up. No maps showing hole layouts either on scorecard or hole sign boards… tough for first timers to know what’s ahead, especially when there are as many hazards as that course has. Very challenging in that regard along w tough greens. But it did make it fun! Very nice scenery and very nice people. Beautiful clubhouse, nice amenities.

Have played course many times. Course was not in as good condition as normal. Sprinklers were running unattended in several areas yesterday, probably trying to improve condition but causing a slowing of play to avoid getting doused when playing shots.

Beautiful Challenging course

First time at Toiyabe. Very nice course with water coming into play on many of the holes. Need to play it once to learn where to lay up as some shots are blind and there is no map of holes on the scorecard. Greens run true and fast. Lots of elevation changes and we played on a windy day which made it more challenging as the uphill holes were playing into the wind. Pace of play was slow… 5 hour round but could have been due to windy conditions.

Very Good Course

First time playing and pleasantly surprised. This is a very very good public course. Very challenging with a lot of variety and imagination. Greens were in impeccable condition. The 5 par threes were all different, very challenging but very fair. There is a driveable par 4 and also some longer par 4’’s with doglegs in both direction. 5 par 5’s with varying lengths. For the money this is one of the better non private courses I’ve played.
