This course, which is part of The Great Gorge Golf Reserve, is a true links-style design that is void of any trees, but harbors deep, native grasses. This course has been rated the #1 public course in the state and is currently in contention for the #3 course in the nation, according to an employee. The fairways are cross-cut, and the greens are very large and undulating. It's not uncommon to have a putt break six or seven feet. The greens are also very fast, but if you find the line you will be rewarded. There is no specific signature hole for this course, however, the entire course was built similar to an Irish links design. During the evening, this course has a bagpipe player who performs in the clubhouse and restaurant areas. Weather depending, this course will stay open year round. There is a variety of price packages depending on the time, season and if you are walking. For more information, please contact the pro shop. The David Glenz Golf Academy is located on the premises and can be reached by calling (888) 794-6439.

Bagpipes and fescue, May 14, 2004

reviewer: David Levy from NJ

really great (newer) course, lots of undulating fairways, and you don't want to get caught in the fescue. Not a lot of trees, but the fescue is merciless, stay in the fairways. very nice course, you may hear some bagpipes going on while you golf, not too bad except for when you are putting. I would recommend playing here for a public course.

Antelope Hills Golf Course
"Diamond in the rough"
In July, 2003 I had the chance to try out this little 9 hole course and I was very satisfied with my experience. The fairways were in tremendous condition and the greens offered a perfect putting surface. We could hear the coyotes howling as we started our round in the morning. The peacefulness alone (my wife and I were the only people on the course) was worth the price of green fees. The green fees, by the way, are very reasonable. The scenery from the first tee is spectacular, especially if you glance to the west. If you're looking for a tough challenge, this isn't the course for you. The course is not too challenging but is a perfect stop if you're a beginner or coming out of Yellowstone and want to just relax on the course. It's very wide open so you shouldn't lose any balls. My wife is a beginner golfer and had a very enjoyable round. Everything is well-maintained and we found the staff to be courteous and friendly. I plan on returning to play this course again and I highly recommend you give it a try. Definitely a course to walk (not ride) to get the full enjoyment.

"Nice, playable course"
This is a nice playable course. Not overpowering in length, it is a good fit for both long and short hitters. I played in February and the course was in excellent shape considering the time of year. Greens rolled nice and true. Staff was friendly.
