Lots of ground under repair on every fairway. This was one of the better ones. Photo submitted by Ken9948006 on 03/27/2023

Iron Horse Course review
If you have the money and want to play an average round, then this course is for you. But if you don’t and you’re just starting I would consider a different course. The greens are very good, but the fairways are really bad. The fairways have many dirt patches with a lot of rockey terrain and need much improvement. As well, some fairways penalize you for being even slightly off on your tee shots with tree locations and green locations. Overall, I enjoyed the course but for $60 ($50 ish plus taxes) I would recommend a different course until improvements or the spring when the grass is more grown in.
Average
Course has a great layout, just so much rough areas and hardpan lies. Several holes penalize you for hitting the fairway. Hopefully they can get some grass on this course because it used to be great.
Don’t listen to others, find out for yourself!
Still considering myself a novice, I found Iron Horse has its challenges but not overly intimidating. I will say that hole 11 was the most intimidating, seeing that it runs right along the side of the highway, a pull of the tee shot and your ball could wind up on I-820 (no pressure).
However, the reason for the title of this review stems from the condition of the course was better than expected. Considering a conversion I had prior to Sep 17th, and I would play and recommend Iron Horse golf club.
The staff is great as well!!!
The pace was excellent and the price was right.
I’ve been here before but it’s been awhile and the course doesn’t disappoint
yiu..i will definitely be back.
Stay Away !!
Paid $80.00 to play a cow pasture. The fairways are in such bad shape, it was like playing in a dirt field. The greens are in good shape. I do not recommend this course at all. Never written a review but had to because of the terrible shape of the course
Waste
I have never seen the course in such poor shape. Greens were terrible, fairways are under repair, pace of play was terrible, and still are charging $69 a round. This course isn’t worth $30 a round with how bad of shape the course is in. Very disappointing.
1st/last time playing here
Greens had just been aerated(slow and bumpy), many fairways under repair/in need of repair. They don’t tell you any of this when checking in. Paid $17 with tee credit on GN, but apparently they didn’t have my tee time and was told that it would be cheaper booking directly anyway, then they charged me $36 for the veteran rate 😂.
Some other issues which would take far too long to mention. There are several good courses in this area, so I’ll just avoid this one going forward.
