Great layout

We've golfed at Cathedral Canyon many times over the years because of the great layout! The greens nice and green and true.
Unfortunately, due to the hurricane in August and then heavy rain one night this month, the course isn't in great shape. The fairways are thin, but I'm sure they will improve.
The 1st hole, although playing as a par 5 still has quite a bit of damage. The 10th hole has been changed from a par 5 to a par 3. Unfortunately, there aren't any markers on this hole that states the distance from tee to green.
We golfed as a twosome and had a enjoyable time.

Fun course

This course is old but layout is fun and challenging enough for anybody , Green are well kept , which is most important to me , They are nice and play true . Fairways are so ,so but as with any old course if you hit the fairway it’s always fair to move your ball to a nice patch.
Price fits course conditions and it’s well worth a play for sure. Staff is really nice. And food and beer very reasonable..

For a Challenge to your Game

It is a very challenging course for the beginner or intermediate golfer. For golfers who are up for a challenge, ok with water hazards, and prefer to use a cart rather than walk, this course is for you. The greens were fast and in good shape. It looks like the course is slowly coming back after the floods, so maybe in a couple of years, this could be the ideal course to try your skills.

This course is a mess! No driving range. Water leaks in the irrigation system. Hard to find your ball because of varying grass and weed colors!

The front needs a lot of love no grass on fairways the back 9 was in a lot better shape. It still could use some up keep. The greens were the best part of the course. The starter was a very nice person

Good value course

Overall the course is in good condition. Hole 1 and 10 were affected by a flood and are not repaired yet. However both of those greens were in good shape All other holes are in good shape as well as the greens.

We paid $49 for golf and cart which is a reasonable rate even with the two holes that are damaged.

I found the pro shop staff okay and the starter was grumpy.

Old tired course

This course has seen better times , it is not well kept . Fairways and tee boxes were in really bad condition, the greens were adequate. I would not recommend it for regular golfers looking for a nice experience. If you were new to golf and looking for some value then maybe otherwise pass on it .

Great value

Forgetting the first two holes (1 is ‘under repair’ and 2 is blah) the rest of the course was very enjoyable. Greens were (for the most part…a few blotches here and there) very good and rolled true. Fairways were (again, for the most part) in good condition. I enjoyed the layout and very much value for dollar spent (yes you could spend 3-10 times the amount for a nicer clubhouse, exceptional conditioning, range, etc) but for a snowbird who hadn’t swung a club for 3 months, this was perfect.
