Walked out of my car, horribly bumpy road to get into and extremely curvy roads. The cart kid asked…read moreme if I knew where I was going...instead of how my day was or anything..,then told me I need to walk around a construction zone to get a cart. Meanwhile he sat in a golf cart and watched me walk all the way around the entire clubhouse back to the range with my clubs. Course is amazing, service was less than stellar. Also ran out of all food at turn service besides hot dogs...thought this was a fancy resort....in prime time June....guess not. The golf course GPS screens were also set to the incorrect pin locations and made me miss club a few times...pretty much needs new management beautiful courses and properties. I'd rather play at Brasada or Crosswater for the amount of money this place charges for the lack of service and experience. The worst part is I truly felt I don't belong, was not wanted there by the staff, from inside the pro shop to outside staff...also $14 for a Gatorade, chips, and M&Ms. Are we in Israel?

Played the Nicklaus course for the first time on a sunny, fairly warm Saturday. One of two courses…read moreon the property - the Fazio being the other - Pronghorn Nicklaus gets rave reviews from Central Oregon golfers. COVID protocols: Only fair. They have the usual mask requirements in the pro shop but don't even attempt to enforce them on customers. Staff wear masks but the snack bar folks aren't so good on wearing them properly. The most egregious failure in this regard was the starter's insistence that golfers riding single in carts pair up because they didn't have enough carts. I was OK because my group was a threesome and I got the second cart. Other area courses seem to have enough carts on hand. Pronghorn is a high end operation - during these times of a pandemic they need to respect social distancing practices and provide more carts. - Richly designed course but with awkward yardages off the tee for short hitters, even from the gold tees, and a lot of hazards. Course plays harder than the rating, I think. This is not a track where high handicappers - particularly short hitters - can hope to score well. - Greens are in good form and roll fast and mostly true. Not as super smooth as I expected but it's early in the season. Some holes cut such that being above the hole meant little chance of stopping it close. - Fairways decent with few bad spots. I thought the grass was cut too short, though. Most of my fairway shots were from a tight lie. - Being in the middle of high desert sagebrush country, that's what you'll find if you stray off the fairway: sagebrush interspersed with lava outcrops. Best to stay out of that. - Quite a few water hazards, including a hole where the stream to the right is hidden from view of the tee box. One par 4 has a huge piece of water between the tee box and the green, tempting long hitters to drive the green. Mere mortals must hit to the fairway on the left, carving out however many yards they think they can carry. - So many bunkers. Way too many bunkers in fact. I think the course is protected well enough from the layout, water and sagebrush rough to not need that many bunkers. Many are quite punitive with high lips. Sand was average for a public course. You won't be able to hit PGA-quality sand shots out of most of them but you can generally get out. - Carts are very nice, electric, onboard GPS (which occasionally erroneously declared I was at the wrong hole), and super comfortable seats. No complimentary tees in the cart - you need to grab them from the starter's box. No complimentary white towels. - Cart path layout is good. Although the course twists around on itself a bit, there are directions signs aplenty. - Beverage cart showed up quite often and it wasn't even that hot of a day. - Complimentary range balls but the range itself is a bit small for a two-course operation, at least as defined by where the range balls were laid out. They could have opened it up more. Same with the practice green and practice bunker. All were a bit crowded. - Slow round - about five hours. I saw not a single marshal on the course during the round. I think the slow pace was due to course difficulty, not slow players. Still, I expect to see a marshal patrolling the course. - Snack bar closed at 3 pm, which is ridiculous, especially on a good weather Saturday. Why only three stars? Price, and unreasonable difficulty. I frankly don't think the golfing experience is any better than at Widgi Creek or Juniper or even Crooked River Ranch. Yet Pronghorn charges way more. The course is also too difficult for me. Golf is one challenge after another, of course, but my round was punctuated by quite a few well-struck shots that still found trouble because of extremely narrow target areas. On several tee boxes, I was faced with no good shot. At one par 5, I had to hit a hybrid off the tee because my driver couldn't carry the sagebrush feature plopped in the middle of the fairway. I can't not hit a driver on a par 5 and hope to avoid a double. That's not a rewarding challenge. 180 yard par 3's from the gold tees are also not welcome. As another reviewer mentioned, Jack Nicklaus prides himself on making golf accessible to the average golfer. He fell short of his goal at Pronghorn Nicklaus.

There were no ball washers on any of the tee boxes. For the price, we expected better.

From what I could tell, this was routine maintenance work, not emergency storm cleanup or hazardous tree removal. I understand maintenance has to be done, but the timing felt inconsiderate for a resort community during a holiday weekend when many residents and guests are trying to enjoy the peace and quiet the area is known for. This easily could have been scheduled during the week or resumed after the holiday weekend. Eagle Crest is a beautiful community overall, which is why this decision was so surprising and frustrating.

Fun fact--The course is the most ecologically responsible course in Oregon. It was created to utilize waste water. That said--and on a related note-- there are 9 ponds and a river that meanders through the course. Not to mention 62 bunkers. It's studded with weeping willows and other trees, but not a ton of shade and the trees are not your biggest hazard (the water is!). The front 9 made me feel like a good golfer and the back nine (hole 13-watch out!) whipped my fanny. We opted to walk the course as it's fairly flat. It took us 4 hours to play the course at a leisurely pace. The course wasn't busy. The staff was very friendly as were the golfers! Ron's Comfort Cafe is a good place to get a breakfast burrito or a bite before or after hitting the course. The food is about like you'd expect from the name. Good beer selection. Staff is very friendly. I highly recommend a visit to this fun, beautiful, challenging course.

Literally were meeting and having conversations with the groups in front of and behind us as we bunched up waiting to play the next hole. The front nine we saw the Marshall three times and he was trying to move people along. The back nine, he must have just given up because we never saw him again and the play came to a bear stand still. The course is fine and in good shape. Everyone was friendly but they really gotta space people out better. I know it can be a ripple effect but we were with two other groups at the first T . Just ridiculous.
