The course is beautiful and in fantastic shape! Such a fun course I've played a lot, always with the same thing, but today my outfit was an issue. Just be sure you've got a collar and no jeans. You'll be fine and not be harassed about it

Awesome course fun to golf really beautiful scenery . BUT the ranger guys were kinda frustrating and at one point implied that we should skip holes if we are not skilled enough to play them and one of them was there signature hole so that we can finish by 8 even though the guy at the club house said 8:30 so a little confused on that. Thanks to Justin, we were able to finish all the holes and still had a good time, and I definitely plan on going there more often and would recommend this course to anyone looking for a nice course. The whole group had a good time👌👍👍

I give it a one star because I love CCC and don't want more people to enjoy this lush beautiful course with great staff and quality bar and grill. I want it for myself and friends. So if you look at the rating, great you'll stay away. If you read this your deep thinker and welcome to enjoy our gem of the North.
