Step into another world at Elkhorn Golf Course (formerly known as Elkhorn Valley Golf Course). Nestled in a small valley a few miles from the towering old growth forests of the Opal Creek Wilderness, Elkhorn offers 18 challenging holes of golf in one of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular natural settings. Joining the award-winning front nine -- which has captivated golfers of all abilities -- are the nine new holes to enhance your experience and test your mettle. The back nine continues the Elkhorn tradition, taking advantage of natural topography and hazards that make it a special place. Canyons, streams and wetlands, and tall stands of trees, with the sights and sounds of wildlife all around.

I should have got back in my car and left after seeing the tee box on the first hole. There absolutely no maintenance being done to this course, not even minimal. Greens had massive dead spots, had not been mowed in I dont know how long, we all agreed that if they put a meter on them they might be at 4, ridiculous. At the turn we went in to pay our fee and again no mention about cart or no one being there to greet the first tee time. The only reason we stayed was , no place to be and weather wise it was very pleasant. I needed the atmosphere more than the golf at this point. Fortunately I played this course when it was rated as one of the best 9 hole courses in the nation, and I think they should return to that focus. 18 is obviously too much to handle.
Frankly the new owner should be ashamed of himself for what this place has become , please do not contribute to his mismanagement like I did. Elkhorn is no longer worth the Drive, Money, or Time.
