Summary:
They packed us in and rushed us!

Customer Service:
Three of us went out on a Tuesday 10:12 tee time. We were partnered with a fourth who was walking, not ideal for my brother just learning to play. We were told that if we checked in to the first time later than 5 minutes before tee time we would be forced to drop in the fareway. From then on 2 foursomes were right behind us the whole way. The ranger talked to us 3 times even though we finished the front 9 in 2 hours 12 minutes. Surveyors were also in the fareways and on the greens as we played. The experiences was rushed, stressful and not worth the $120 we paid. Could understand some of this on the wekend, but not during the middle of the morning on a Tuesday!
By the way, also paid $3.96 for a .99 cent can of Arizona tea and $4.00 for a hot dog.

Summary:
I play Diamond Ridge at least once a year because it is a good muni course. The front nine gives you opportunities to work the ball off the tee with a right-handed draw being the best shot on #1, 2, 4, 6, & 9, and a fade preferred on #3, & 7. The two par-3's on the front can be challenging due to significant elevation changes. The back nine holes are much straighter, but also tighter with woods crowding in on both sides of most tee shots. The course conditions are good for a muni and the price is fair. Expect average to slower putting speeds, but the greens are relatively consistent. You can also walk this course without much trouble. They have added several "environmentally sensitive" areas like the one between the fairways of #1 & 2 over the years. Ironically, if you play by the local course rule of getting a free drop out of these areas, then the course itself plays easier than its original design.

Summary:
This is a fine little track for the money, with several memorable holes. As a single on weekends, longest wait to tee off never over 1/2 hr. Good strategy is check-in with both starters (D.Ridge and The Woodlands)and take the first game offered. Arrive early and slow play will not be a problem.

Customer Service:
Service always friendly and on time.

Summary:
This is a forgiving course that does not punish you too much. Not much water and almost no OB. It is fairly easy to score well.

Nice layout. Bad fairways - too many different types of grass and not cut close enough. Greens are true but thick and slow.

Customer Service:
Mediocre

Summary:
Don't even bother on a weekend. My last Saturday experience there lasted 7 hours and I was only able to finish 15 holes. That's ridiculous. You can play 36 at a nicer course for less money in less time. Even on a weekday it's a 5-hour round. An average golf experience in an over-crowded area.
