The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The longer of the two Casper/Nash courses, described as the wider, more player-friendly side with generous landing zones and bowl-like fairway shaping, yet long enough from the tips to interest better players. Golfers praise the mountain views, manicured conditioning and value.
Consistently praised
- Wide, forgiving fairways and large greens that suit most skill levels.
- Spectacular mountain scenery, especially the middle holes.
Worth knowing

Golfers recommend
- Play it from the back tees for real challenge, otherwise it scores easily.
- Confirm which course you are on at check-in; the two nines are poorly marked.
