Columbia updated, Mar 29, 2007

reviewer: Lars Coates from Albany NY

i. The course has been rerated 136 slope from the Blue tees. 2. Several holes have been redesigned. 3. The club is no longer open to the public in the spring and fall. Which is a shame. 4. Although not long the narrow fairways which all seem to be about 20 - 25 yeards wide in the landing area and the small undulating pre WWII greens make shot placement at a premium. Expect to shoot above your handicap by 3 -5 shots. The club house has been totally remodeled. All in all a great track that will test you skill.

Short but challenging, May 13, 2004

reviewer: LR from NY

CG&CC is a challenging course (slope 133) not because of its length (only a bit over 6,200 yards from the back tees) but because it is tight requiring accurate tee shots. In addition, the greens are small, fast and undulating so you need to hit precise approach shots and be a solid putter. In fact, this course is one where the "golfer" as opposed to the "big hitter" can shine and let the big hitters "reload".

Kokopelli Golf Course
"WOW, WHAT A COURSE!!!!!!!"
I have never putted on such undulating greens in my life, this course gave me fits.... I had never played here so I didnt know what I was in for, really tough course if your not familiar with it.... I crushed a drive on one hole, dont rememeber which one but I thought I hit at least a 300yd drive, well I did but it landed in a pond on the other side of a sloping fairway. Never knew the the water was there.... you cant see it from the tee box... (very sneaky). just one of the great holes on this gem....if you want some putting practice, then this your course.... go for it....

Tannehill National Golf Course
"4 stars"
Tannehill National has got to be one of the best courses in the state. The fairways this past summer looked better than a lot of greens I've seen. From the back tees the course is near perfect. It is pretty much wide open but, there is a creek that comes into play on several holes and the strategically placed ponds can make you pay for a bad tee shot. The greens are fast but they hold shots and roll true .You just can't find bermuda greens that stay as consistent as theirs do.
