I am headed to St. George at the end of this month for a golf trip. We are playing Sand Hollow on the 22nd, Wolf Creek in Mesquite on the 23rd and Coral Canyon on the 24th.

That's a nice group of courses. I don't know what kind of deal you got at Wolf Creek, but I think Falcon Ridge down the street is just as fun. Wolf Creek gets all the pub, but I think it's a bit overrated. With a Dixie Direct Card you can get golf, lunch, and a sleeve of balls for $35. There is also a Coral Canyon 2-for1 offer on the card. Probably worth the $25 card if you don't already have one.

I bought a Vanguard golf pass to the Ranches earlier this year. You recieve four 18 hole rounds, four 9 hole rounds, ten 2 for 1s and 5 buckets of balls at the Ranches for $99. This year they also threw in a free round at Coral Canyon (you have to pay for the cart) free round at Thanksgiving Pointe and a free round at Falcon Ridge. Unfortunately Falcon Ridge is the only one with restrictions as its only good M-Wed. Wolf Creek was only $55 for 18 and a cart twilight rate this time of year. I have played Falcon Ridge a few times so I figured I would pony up for Wolf Creek.

Just lower your expectations for Wolf Creek a bit and it will be great. Sand Hollow used to be on the DD card, but now they're busy enough that they rarely run many promotions at all anymore. I love that course, but I freaking hate the red-clay bunkers.

Do you think WC is worth $55? Maybe I should make the drive out to Coyote Springs that was a fun course.

Falcon Ridge is a pile of crap. The front nine is okay, but that back 9 is off the charts stupid.

[old_gregg]

falcon ridge for $39, if that changes your mind.

Coyote Springs is 10x better than Wolf Creek, IMO. But it is an additional 30 mins away (but cheap--like $35 or something). In all honesty, Wolf Creek is worth golfing at least once.

Thanks for the invite, dick.

WC is worth $100, once, $55 all day.

WC has a couple holes that hurt the courses quality, IMO, as they are far too gimmicky.

Come play with us we have plenty of room.

Yes, I think so. I have only played it once and didn't like all the blind shots.

I notice no one talks about Oasis much anymore. At one time that was one of my favorite courses anywhere. The greens got so crappy I stopped playing it. If they had good greens it would again be one of my favorites. Have you played Connestoga. I really liked that course.

If convenience weren't an issue, Coyote Springs would always be on my agenda when heading south.

I have not played Conestoga, I watched a KSL golf feature on it a few years back and it looks pretty impressive. Golfnow.com has a pretty good deal out there this time of year, maybe I need to play 36 one of the days.

Anyone know what happened to Kokopelli? That course had great reviews, it was a bit out of the way but I was looking forward to playing it. However it looks like they went out of business.

Sadly it was one of those, "if you build it they will come deals". Golf course built with the idea of a development around it. Their timing was terrible. A situation like Coyote Springs, but I guess Coyote has plenty of money from water sells to stay in business. Kokopelli had nothing but a very nice course.

My boys and I played it once in the winter. It was high 50's in St. George and barely 50 at Kokopelli. There were two foursomes on the whole course.
