They have state of the art screens with a variety of games and courses you and play with a nice set of tees and clubs per screen. The also have a great selection of bottled beverages. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed with my private event. We booked a 2.5hr event and ordered a selection of their pizzas, fries, tacos, and hot dogs. We quickly learned their kitchen has limitations involving 1 oven so the food came out at a snail's pace due to the bottleneck. Also, they don't have a ice machine (or any ice for that matter) so we had to go to Zip's next door to cool out beverages. This place serves shots as well as bottled drinks, so it's interesting ice wasn't available if someone wanted a mixed drink. The last set of food came out exactly at the time when the party was supposed to end. I need to be transparent that the staff (while extremely limited) was kind, extended our event half an hour and gave me discount... but I'd rather not deal with over a dozen hangry people and pay full price. Most of the food also was given a copious amount of "Mason sauce" which was similar to honey mustard. The sauce was hit or miss with my party and we eventually requested that the sauce was served on the side, and hopefully the business will do that for most of their menu items. Overall, we all enjoyed hitting the balls in their facility. What irks me the most was the coordinator for the event knew of the shortcomings and never really followed up for feedback or updates. So I guess I'll just post it up on Yelp. If you just want to hang out, hit balls, and drink a beer- 5 stars If you want to book the whole place out and have food and drinks provided, please see above.

Went in twice since they moved to the new smaller location. Won't be a third time. Both times I was looking for something specific. First time was an accessory (travel bag) and new shoes, and the second was a new hybrid club. The first time I was given the "we don't have a big selection of those because we focus on club fitting" speech. OK, kinda short-sighted for "golf store" but whatever. I heard the same thing told to two others who came in looking for this or that. Second time I went in I was looking to pick up the hybrid after looking for some advice, maybe even custom order one if possible because I'm taller than most. I began browsing the limited selection. Two other guys in there and they started asking one of the staff about this club or that club. The staffer had little info to provide. Then they asked if they could try one they apparently liked in one of the fitting bays. Nobody else in the store, mind you, except me. The staffer was extremely reluctant to let them hit a couple. He gave the "we really focus on custom fitting" speech but let them hit a few. Staffer never went back to see if they liked it or wanted to buy. No selling or seeing what they did or didn't like. Nothing. They eventually walked out. I'm still there looking at clubs. Haven't been approached by either of the two staffers on duty. Clearly interested in picking something up but also probably need a little advice. Been there 15 minutes at that point. Decided to let this play out. 25 minutes rolls around and a couple of people walk in. A woman wants an accessory for her husband as a gift. Got "we don't have a big selection of those. We focus on custom club fitting" speech. I don't remember what she settle for but I do remember the staffer just kind of looking at her and saying, basically that's all we have. No real help at all. The other people/person left in disgust after finding nothing. Meanwhile, I'm still there looking at clubs. I heard all about which clubs they were going to trade in with the stores new trade in policy and which clubs they were going to buy because they were having a great conversation between the two of them while I was there. I heard about their personal lives and the courses they liked. I heard about the players they didn't like on the tournament that was playing on tv. Never once did they address me or approach me. After about 35 minutes or so I gave up. As I literally stepped out the door, one of them says, "if you have any questions just let us know". Yeah, I got a question. How do you justify being paid by your employer? Better question. Unless you want to have a customized fitting, why would anyone ever shop here? Not sure they would even do the custom fitting well since they don't seem to have staff who can do the basics. As a parting shot, I went to Spokane recently for a few things and stopped at Golf World or World Golf or some such named store. I walked in to a well appointed store, was greeted as I walked in and asked if I need help with anything. Was given advice. Was allowed to hit a couple of suggestions before we started any talk about the need to custom order. Found one. Spent around $300 and was done in about 20 minutes. That's called SERVICE and SALESMANSHIP, just in cast Golf Universe is confused.

4-Star customer service rating. My rating is NOT based on…read morethe course terrain in comparison with other courses in the TriCities. I play most of the courses in the TriCities. I play Buckskin as part of a church group shotgun start during the Spring. This group caters to every type of player from beginner to long timer. Every time I arrive at Buckskin the owner is personable, quick to please, and full of life. He knows his niche and is extremely generous and helpful. If customer service is your measuring stick you can't go wrong at Buckskin. It is a very small, arid course. Sprinklers are running 24/7 and sometimes you have to get creative off the tees. There's not a lot of fairway green to play from so precision hitting is best. And even the fairway has a number of rough patches. But the grass has improved from 2006-2016. The greens are slow and thick, more like the fringe on other courses. So that means they are actually more challenging. Just remember to lighten up when you head off to another course. Carts are "beasts" but always seem to run. All in all, if you know what to expect, you can have a decent run at Buckskin and it's especially nice for beginners. Be prepared to move you're ball around some holes and dirt from time to time. Beyond all that terrain though, you will find a genuine mom-n-pop feel and a gregarious serving attitude.

I'm more of an appreciator of the woods than I am of the country side cause I usually associate farmland with that part of the drive up the interstate 5 from Los Angeles to San Francisco where it smells like cow dung so strong that plugging your nose doesn't even help cause you could taste it anyway but y'know? I really liked it out in Cove... I didn't run into too many people from the area but if I did, they'd wave or smile. It was so peaceful and pretty out there. The "backyard" of the building had this perfect little hill of green grass that my son and I raced down by rolling ourselves from the top with our bodies straight and hands at our sides while the sun set with oranges and pinks in the sky off in the distance. At night you can hear all the little bugs cricking and buzzing around in the wheat fields that extended as far as the eye could see. And best of all, the sky was filled with stars. It was nice. I'd do it again.
