    Hole 5 beautiful warm day

    Little driveway that leads you back in front of the grand stands for horse racing. Pro shop was stocked for being small but not crowded stocked. Great selection of drinks to take with you. I highly suggest a Gatorade or water. Be sure to grab a score card so you can keep track of the map of holes. As someone stated in another review there is very limited shade. You play 9 then re-round for another to make your full 18. Very reasonable prices which is why we chose to try this course as my first actual play golf experience. The older gentleman in the shop was extremely friendly and let us know about a program for children getting into golf. It is a great course not overly challenging for a beginner and probably relaxing for those who wanting a slow leisurely pace. Most are Par 3's. Bring a hat and sunscreen and enjoy yourself.

    Fairgrounds golf course is a really nice beginner course. The grass is in good condition. The staff is welcoming, and the prices are reasonable. I'm happy to have it near my home.

    Surprisingly fun 9 holes in the middle of the horse track. Pretty cool idea. Pricing was great and dude working there was beyond friendly. The course is mostly Par 3's. Perfect for beginners. Will be coming back for sure.

    Great facility to play and practice. Course is short but challenging and the practice area is top notch!

    Great and friendly staff. I never felt rushed or intimated as a beginner. I have enjoyed it every time I have played the course.

    This is a great place to practice your short game. They also have covered stalls at the driving range plus upgraded lighting.

    Great place to practice, hit range balls, or play a quick 9 holes. I learned to play golf here.

    I got the rare opportunity to play golf here as a guest. Caddies are mandatory which means we have…read moreto walk, but we had a few seniors in our group so we also got a couple of carts. I must say this is a gorgeous track with top notch facilities. The course if tough but fair. The greens are absolute perfection. Fairways are manicured. I think having mandatory caddies really help with the upkeep. Our group's caddies were Keith and Eric. Each caddy manages 2 bags. I suppose you can get a caddy for yourself, but I haven't played in months. This was just a chance to hangout with friends that I haven't seen so my game was below average. We played from the middle tees which is 6,156 yards with a 71.0/138 rating/slope. Pretty respectable for member's tees! After the round we enjoyed a nice Riesling wine accompanied with cheese and various small bites. I recommend sitting outdoor so you can take in the spectacular view. Their locker room is top notch complete with showers, steam room, toiletries and friendly staff to clean your shoes. Pro Tip: * Come early and hit balls at their exceptional range * Their range balls are Pro V1s * Seniors can ride/walk as needed * Tip your caddy $130 * Tip your shoe cleaner * Bring some cash and take care of their great staff

    Best decision! I joined as a Social member since I don't golf (my bad!)…read more I enjoyed the tennis, spa, gym, member events and the facility. I hosted numerous business meetings and events there as well as friend & family meals. The Staff go out of their way to make everyone feel special and every need attended to. The members are very friendly and welcoming. The grounds and buildings are kept in impeccable condition. I would highly recommend this Club which has so much to offer for those who maybe like me aren't golfers.

    This is mainly about golf. The Valley of the Moon course (West) is in real good shape. They finally…read moreput an effort in getting the course back into it's old self. The Sugarloaf course (East/executive) course needs work. Rumor has it, they intend to work on it in the coming year. I sure hope so. The course is extremely challenging for a shorter course, but it's not fun playing in poor conditions (no sand in the bunkers for example). The new company in charge has done an admirable job. Prices are pretty much on par, maybe slightly less, than other courses in the area. The price of the range balls keeps going up though. Not sure why, maybe it due to the new mats they keep replacing. The food / drinks at the restaurant are outrageously priced. I sure hope the local residents get a discount, because I'm not sure how they can afford to go there on a regular basis...and you'd think they'd want that regular built in, community draw. The courses meander through the Oakmont community. Houses line course, and occasionally come into play if you're off your game. The scenery of Hood Mountain in the distance is very nice. There is usually a lot of deer and rabbits along the course. It breaks up a bad round when you see mom w/ a little bambi (or two) in tow. Both courses are worth playing. The longer, Valley of the Moon more-so now that it's looking and playing good. Don't let the shorter, executive fool you. That's an extremely tough course. There are two separate club houses for each course. They are a short driving distance away. The driving range is at the main course.

    I chose the salmon, risotto, and green beans--everything tasted as if it was double-salted. The…read moresalmon had a nice crust on it, though. There's a lovely wall of windows are you enter the dining hall with a dance floor. Most everyone danced. It was super fun. There's a large outdoor space for seating; it looks like you'd need to call ahead. We were there 1/26/26, so perhaps it was just the winter set up. It was extremely difficult to find with a GPS. Even calling the club, the gal who answered couldn't help give directions. That was really frustrating.
