The Ridge

Manitou is always a fun track to play.

The greens are what gives me the most work, lots of slope, pretty fast, and tough to read cuz of the “ridge”.

Professional staff very welcoming and friendly.

I’ll be back.

Pleasant round

Very nice time playing from beginning to end. Course condition good despite slightly dry condition with fast and true, consistent greens. Fairways were in good shape as well. I would recommend the course without any hesitation

Great course for very very amateur golfers

I had a foursome at this course for the very first time and we are all not very good golfers but we go to have fun and get better. This course had an amazing layout and it wasn't as challenging as we expected. We shot high but I would love to go back and lower my score

Manitou Review.

The older male worker in the pro shop was extremely rude, unfriendly and unprofessional. I would not recommend to a friend because of him alone. He even made me pay an additional $10.50 to take a cart. Course was in great shape but the staff ruined the experience.

Well Kept Course With Friendly Staff

Played with 3 of my buddies. Good value for course plus cart. Well kept course with some variety. It's not an overly challenging or tricky course. Would recommend especially for beginners. Staff made sure we had everything we needed.

Wonderful classic course

I love these older, walkable, courses with their mature trees and friendly rough. There is trouble to get inti, but it isn't onerous.

Classic course

Loved the layout of this older clurse - open fairways and easy to find balls in the rough, but there were opportunities to get into trouble.
Lots of fun.

Sloped greens

Nice course. Would have been nice to have just one green without a big slope. Number 8 will mess you up the first time. Come around the corner of the dogleg and you see the green and all you see is a huge dowbhill slope. You think, long and miss the putt it will roll back 50ft off the green. Short on approach and same fear. When you get up there it has tons of room to shoot at. Green is much bigger than you think.BUT DO NOT go long. If you do you will know what I mean,
Overall, nice place that should be played at least once, probably twice.
