Needs Help

Ben Hogan once said he could play a course with bad fairways but bad greens are a nonstarter- (Paraphrased). The greens are in terrible shape and needs lots of attention…. Also, the bunkers need more sand… Won’t play the course again until September - needs lots of help

Course condition

My group was very disappointed with the condition of the greens and overall with bunkers and fairways. Green were burnt as they put to much salt on them. Fairways were mixed dirt and grass. Bunkers hard as a rock. The price of $50.00 per person was way to much for the condition of the course. Won't play the course agai, until they get their act together.

They have lost the course

The course is in bad shape from tee to green. Before the round I asked in the pro shop of the condition and they told me it was in great shape. Just tell the truth, don’t take my $$ and lie to me. The greens are awful almost no grass and dead. Fairways are bare and hard and don’t go in the concrete bunkers. I don’t know if they have water restrictions or if the owners don’t want to put in the $ of effort. This course was once a gem from a great designer and now just a reflection of the city which it’s in, a dump.

Very bad shape

The course is in very bad shape, the greens are dry and full of holes, people don’t fix their divots… the course needs a lot of maintenance, I hope some day Butterfield can be what it was

Course is in really bad shape, pro shop staff sucks.

This course must have been great in the past. Sadly, it now has been run back into the desert from where it sprang. Honestly, in over 45 years of playing golf, have I experienced a course in such poor shape. Tees are worn out. No reward for hitting a fairway, because there is little to no healthy grass to be found. Greens have all been ravaged by fungus and pests.
No rangers to be found, people running carts right up to the greens. Poorly marked flow from hole to hole. Lots of people riding around looking for next hole. No beverage cart running, ran out of water by the 7th hole. At the turn stopped to buy water and asked about their beverage cart and the guy gave me snarky attitude.
Cart did not have charge to last to the 14th hole, at which point I was barely able to creep it back to the clubhouse. Decided it best to quit and go home, thinking all the way what a lousy overall experience I had just had. I'll never go there again.

Horrible pace of play and bad shape

It took 5hours and 20 minutes to play 18 holes, the course and especially the greens were horrible, way to expensive for that place right now!

Greens need help

It's still winter type or early spring.
Fairways are turning a little green with the water but the greens are getting bare.
They might loose some if not properly watered quickly.

The Butterfield is a great course, it is challenge and the fairways and greens are good. of course this time of year in Elpaso it’s a little dried up. Also you can get behind a slow group here. Normally it can be quite pricey to play here however with the golf now you can get a good deal for this course
