We have played Coral Canyon since it opened and have alway loved the place, but this year it was very disappointmenting because the conditon of the course was way below what we were used to.the staff was great hope to hear why it was in poor shape.
We were staying in Mesquite Nevada and drove to Utah to play golf at Sand Hollow but decided to also play Coral Canyon. This course was just the opposite for creature comforts that Sand Hollow failed to provide. The fairways were watered, there were small cooers on all the carts, the rangers came around with wet cool towels (temp was in 100"s) and there were coolers on the course that actually had water in them. There were 8 of us and we all agreed that Coral Canyon was due a revisit as the course was beautiful and fun to play.
The course is always in very good condition (have played it the past eight years when visiting St. George). The holes are varied and you will use every club in tour bag. Several of the par 5's can be reached in two shots. The greens are undulated and tiered along with being very quick so bring your A-putting. Play the white tees unless you are a low single digit handicap. Great views and many elevation changes, best conditioned public course in the St. George/Washington area.
I understand Ken's review. My hubby & I golfed Coral Canyon on Nov 7/14 and we were paired with a "minor investor" in the course. It took 5 hours and 20 minutes to play. That is inexcusable in my book. When riding a power cart a course like this should be able to be played in under 4 1/2 hours. There was apparently a small tournament (32 people) out before us and it was unbelievably slow. On the 16th holes the marshall stopped to talk and said he asked the groups ahead to play a bit faster. I'm thinking on 17 you asked them to play faster.......where the hell were you on the front 9? Never saw him. The GPS on our cart said we were 36minutes behind. If they don't improve the "golfing experience" they won't survive.
Played course for first time , nice layout. The greens were in great shape the rst off the course could use a little manicure work. Hard to tell where the fairway ended and the rough began. Fairway needed cutting . Gps is weak many shots needed to be played and not knowing course the yardage was hard to figure. Especially for carry over many waste areas.Layout was good,.Starter did not give us much info as to the course , playability etc. The length of the course was very manageable from the blue and forward tees.Tuesday off to sand hollow
This course is amazing. Very playable, but challenging and fair, and great views! Greens roll fast and true. Best course in the area! Must play!!!!
A really nice course. The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Some holes require a layup off the tee unless you bomb your drives. So the first time around the course may result in some lost balls with the driver. The fairways are fairly wide and the greens are large. This course is not as scenic as Sand Hollow, but it has some views of the mountains and a good course to play when you are in the area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely play again.
Played this course last week and found conditions to be quite disappointing. Greens were rough and very slow. Fairways were rough. A lot of damage, ie mud, washed out cart paths, debris, etc... that I was told occured during heavy rains back in November. I was charged full price ($107.00) and no mention was ever made of poor course conditions. Also played Sand Hollow and Sky Mountain and conditions at those courses were much better and the rates were lower. Coral Canyon has been a favorite for several years, but the courseneeds immediate attention.
We have had thunderstorms within the last few days and the course had a few places that were muddy. The staff pointed these out to us and there was no problem. Due to the wetness mowing wasn't done. This was not a real problem and we found our balls that were in the rough. I thought they had done a great job cleaning up and the course will be in great shape in a few days. Play time was good, this has been a problem in the past.
Played Coral Canyon on March 4th 2014. It is in HORRIBLE condition. THe Dixie Hills City Course was mile ahead of Coral. The tee boxes were a flat out joke. Greens were hairy and the slowest ot the 5 courses we played. Lots of bare and dead spots. We played lots of courses and it is the only one where we had to play "winter rules" in the fairway.Charged us 80 bucks cause we have the Dixie Direct card and still feel like we payed 3 times to much. No cart girl ever stopped by. Wont play there again. Sand Hollow, Green Springs, city Muni all are way better condition and are cheaper.
