Columbia Point Golf Course

Let me first apologize to frank, my group very well could have been one of those 5-​somes! We let a few groups play thru without any incident, hopefully you’ll just ask the shop next time instead of demanding them to inform you.
Anyways, to the review, we had the second stop of our bachelor party here. The place is a great course as most of us are experienced. I’d argue best in the Tricities for playability. Helpful staff and a beautiful day to top it off. I’ll be back whenever I’m in town.

First, let me say the golf course gets 5 stars for condition and playability. That is where the positives for this course end.
My wife and I played this course on a Sunday morning. Because of pace of play, We left the course after 4 hours, only completing 13 holes. This course allows fivesomes, and we were the first group behind 3 of these groups. I asked the Marshall if fivesomes were allowed, and he answered that, yes, and on Sunday mornings there can be as many as 6 of these groups. He further added that if you want to play Sunday morning, either start before 8:00 or after 9:30. One thing he did not do was try to speed up the play of these groups. 4 hours — 13 holes!
It would have been nice if, when we checked in, the pro shop staff would have mentioned the size of the groups in front of us. There was one time open in front of the first fivesome. Had we known about what was to follow, we would have opted for this opening.
My wife is a low 20 handicap, and I am a 5 handicap. We are used to 4 hour, or sub-​4 hour rounds. We will be very reluctant to return to this course on any future travel to the tri-​cities area.

Perfect! This is probably one of the better golf courses I have played in a long long time. Okay since last July but still every aspect of the course is perfect! The greens are some of the best I’ve putted on. The rough is thick but not too long and the fairways are well maintained. The fairways are narrow so accurate iron play is a must! The course is relatively short so driver is not needed! The par 5s from blue I was putting for birdie teeing off with a 4 iron. Again the greens are perfect but little to no real breaks. The only negative is the pace of play! Slow very slow!!!

What a great course for all ages and abilities!
Beginning at the clubhouse, through the snack bar and out onto the course, staff members were friendly, helpful and professional. The course offers ample practice facilities — a driving range with grass tees, a short-​game practice area and a large putting green.
The greens are not lightning fast, but they are consistent and true. The bunkers are in excellent condition — fluffy and well-​maintained.
This course could have been a sad little track, tucked in next to a busy freeway. Thankfully, the course designers created all manner of moguls, ridges and small hills — the effect is that not only is the highway noise reduced, but the holes themselves are separated. Water features on several holes (especially on the second nine).
If you’re a long hitter, I recommend the championship tees — the whites and blues generally don’t allow for a driver. On the other hand, if you’re a new golfer, or are bringing kids out for the first time, this is an excellent destination. Plenty of interesting and challenging shots for the experienced golfer, but nothing so daunting as to prohibit a beginner from having a fun round.
I’ll definitely be back.

Went there the other night to hit some balls at the driving range. It is a nice place. Located back behind the WinnCo store off of GW Blvd — so it’s easy to access. The pro shop was nice, clean, and cool. Staff was — um — so so. They were helpful I guess. I got my medium bucket of balls for $ 6 but was told that we had to be off the driving range at 6:15p for some reason — can’t remember. It was 5:15p so an hour should be adequate to hit some balls and putz around.
The course — which I didn’t play is a links style … there are water hazards and sand traps all over — and plenty of HILLS which you can’t see past. It looks like it’s a true 18-​hole course split on two sides by that road (don’t know the names of all streets yet). Watch out for the Canadian GEESE! Or — aim for them — you choose!
The driving range has about 10 – 15 slots … on grass. Faces the west so you have that afternoon/​evening sun to deal with. Flags are marked with yardage and you have a variety of targets to aim for. It is slightly elevated. There were stands for your bag and some buckets of water and scrub brushes for your dirty clubs!
There was plenty of parking … a large covered patio with tables and chairs to sit and enjoy food/​beverages and haggle over your golf score.
I only hit balls … but will update this review after I’ve played a round of golf and browse their pro shop for deals. No comment on either of those at this time.
