I joined a small tournament to play at Summitpointe. First time I had played there in many years. Pretty much the same experience. Some good holes, some kind of weird holes. Some of the fairways barely had any grass on them but we are in the midst of a bad drought and courses are prohibited from watering but it seems some other courses are doing a better job of managing this. The course is in the foothills and it is hard on many holes to get a decent/flat lie no matter how good of a shot you hit. That is the primary knock I have heard over and over again about this course. It was a good group of guys so it was a good day but I wouldn't go out of my way to play here.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Worse than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
