Anyone ever play here?
I drive past it all the time, and it looks like such a nice course,
The clubhouse is huge, and it was just built a year ago
Im thinking of playing there this summer

Ed...
It's a revision of Thunderhawk. Not a bad track but some FUNKY holes. There is a nice par 4 but because it's a dog leg right, the home owner sued the track and won so they moved the tees up and it's now a par 3.
Seriously.
So many better tracks...go play Foxford...if you haven't played it, you'll wonder why and put it on your list of must plays!

I play Makray often. It's a nice public course and has become so much better since the reconstruction of it. I would definitely recommend it.

I play at Makray often. It is a challenging course. I also take lessons from the Head Pro Don Habjan and he is a good instructor and is cheep for lessons. The greens are tough and pins are placed strategically.

I HATE this course. Play Thunderhawk. If youre looking for something more west play chalet hills.
Its a fairly nice course but for some reason it just pisses me off. Does it still go right from rough to green without fringe? I really can't articulate how much I hate this course.

Do they still have the par 4 that was converted to a par 3 because of the people who were hitting the house on the right side of the hole?

Not a par 3 any more - just a 300yd par 4 - tees moved up.
