THEY ARE BACK!

I dreaded playing here before, and I was here a month and a half ago. They must have hire HOUDINI as the new greenskeeper because they were really awesome yesterday. No spots, or blemishes anywhere in the greens, and although they where a bit slow, they looked incredibly lush. Kudos to the managing company or owner because the greens are good, and you can tell they are working on the rest of the golf course as well. This includes the clubhouse which looks inviting to come in and hangout since they built a new patio area and bar outside. I am looking forward to playing Cimarrone once again. I thought I had given up on them.

Great course/poor customer service

The course is always well kept and the flow is nice. I have played this course twice and every time the customer service was poor. I first played golf there on a Monday with a tee time around 9am. After the first 9 holes, I couldn’t get any good because the kitchen was closed. Luckily we were able to get some drinks at the bar.

This last time I played was on a Saturday with a 7am tee time. After the first 9, I went to the pro shop to ask if the kitchen was open. They responded with an attitude stating that the sign says it’s closed and doesn’t open till 11am. I asked if there was a cart girl for me to at least get a drink. Her response was “ It’s Saturday so yeah”. I played a full 18 and didn’t see a cart girl once.

The customer service needs to get better at Cimarrone.

Improved Greens

There is a big improvement on the greens, they are nice and smooth as a greens should be. I hope they keep the greens nice. It looks they are taking better care of the course which is making it more attractive to play. Price for tee time also increased.

Really liked the course overall

The course was great to play. Everyone on the staff was polite and courteous. The play was slow on the back nine due to six players in the group. The staff talked to them but they continued to play together with total disregard to our group and the groups behind us waiting at every hole. Turned into a five hour round. I’m sure this was an isolated case and we just happen to be the recipients of bad golf etiquette.

Lack if Staff

For the price I can't believe we NEVER saw one cart girl during our ENTIRE round. We even called while on the course and they couldn't care less.

I would play across the street for the same money for sure.

Much improved conditions!

I have to commend the greenskeeper and staff on the significant improvement in the course condition. There are still a few tee boxes that need attention, but the greens were very good...slow, but good. Will play again sooner rather than laterel!

Slow greens

I have played this course 4 years in a row and it is getting better every year. The greens are plush but extremely slow. Rumor is they they will cut them in the fall. Can’t wait.

Course is in really good condition

This new ownership has really done a great job at getting this back in good shape. Greens are green and lush, but a little on the slow side. Did I mention they were super green and lush! I Will definitely be putting this course back on my course play rotation.

Great Course

Five stars in every way, the only negative thing was that it was 90° outside and the cart girl called in sick so there were no beverages or snacks available on course and had to be done at the turn. It would have been ok if we knew, but the starter told us she was out on the course when we tee’d off at 10:23am.

Slow slow slow

I played this course again this week after playing several weeks ago , SLOW SLOW SLOW , slow number 1 the pace of play was painstakingly slow 3 hours and 45 minutes in and still have 5 holes to go we called it a day , no ranger to try to keep the pace of play, as many as four groups on one hole waiting we started play at 1:45 , to make the the waiting worse we never saw a beverage cart , slow number 2 although the greens were in great shape after the horrible shape they were in a year ( they did a great job getting them back) the rolled extremely slow always have been, slow number 3, at the turn we stopped to pick up a drink from the club house God knows we had enough time with three groups on the 10th tee box , it took 15 minutes for us to get a drink , we were at outside bar and a bartender with zero personality looked at us several time while she messed around with some glasses under the bar 🤷‍♂️finally had to ask if we could get a drink please, still 2 groups on her tee box ! On the plus side they have a great range membership program for a good price also we stopped in the bar to drowned our slow sorrows and order a pizza to go , pizza was great , live music , beer was cold bartender had zero personality! We will be back for food and range golf not so sure to play golf last three round over 5 hours !

Challenging But Enjoyable Course

I had 4 cousins from Montana that have only been able to play on a simulator for the last 4 months. The each said it was the best course they had ever played. We had two foursomes and played best ball to maintain the pace of play. Everyone had a great time and the staff was very courteous. One of the cousins brought his son, so we had to rent an extra cart, but it worked out just fine.

Greatly Improved

We have played Cimarrone for over four years. During the past year the new owners have invested in the course conditions as well as restaurant/bar. Prices have also risen because the investments, but it’s worth it.

Fairways and greens were in excellent shape.
