Let me start with saying this a two Part review to be fair. I attended the tributes as a guest with a wedding party so I got to try it this place in two capacities. The golfing was not bad an organized attractive 18 hole designed to mimic Scottish courses, it was fun to play on, 3 Stars for the golfing. Second part of my review, the hotel. Now, as a person who hates vacationing due to the hate for hotels and the stigma of dirt and bugs this didnt help that. First when you check in, youll do this with the proshop, no checking in with a hotel clerk, youll be given an old school door key not card, you will make your way upstairs and down one of two opposing hallways to your room. Once you get to your room youll notice immediatly these room look old, they dont look like theyve been updated since the late 90s at best, the most up date amenities is the TV that is an old school Lcd Tv. The furniture was old, they looked pulled from an 80s pick and pull, my bed was actually two twins pushed together, some rooms just had 2 queens, some a full king. Only moments after checking in would I notice there was no way to lock the room, you could bolt yourself in on the top but a simple door lock wasnt present as the staff attempted to open my door moments after getting ready, I asked what they needed and they asked me if my sheets were okay, that wasnt a good sign, I got in the shower to notice the tub was cracked open in several areas and the staff had used a bath liner to cover it up. I reported this and it didnt seem to be a big deal to staff. When I completed my shower I got dressed and attempted to walk out onto my balcony where I would promptly notice the balcony is shared which was fine until I realized it was shared with all the other room who balcony doors didnt appear to lock, which was great when I needed to break into my own room when my wife passed out early with the only key, the staff leaves somewhere after 7 and pretty much lock you in after a certain time into the hotel with you and the other guests but anyway back to the balcony the shared space and lack of apperant ability to lock my door concerned me luckily I was the only guest on my side so I didnt need to worry. On the other side my buddy had a room and an adjacent balcony that he wouldnt even go out on after discovering a huge wasp nest built above his doorway and a spider crawling his window. Speaking of bugs, the last night I was here I woke up with bites down my right arm, my wife believes misquote bit me through my dress shirt, possible I guess. I told her that it was most likely bed bugs, either way still got bit. This was the second to last thing that made me want to leave immeduatly only reason i didnt was due to the bridal event being held here. The last thing that killed it was just as we all got ready to go to bed after the recption the water was turned off, no abilirmty to shower, brush our teeth, use the restroom, nothing. When reported tgey said well get to it, when brought up again they stated weve contacted maintenamce, 8 hours later water i still off. The wedding is now over and i woke up extra early to check out first opportunity i have. This is kind of something I dont have to say but just in case my suggestion is for you to save your money, 100$ a night or more mine was based off a wedding contract so it mightve been cheaper for me, but save your money and get a cheap hooker hotel youll feel more comfortable. Unless this place gets it act together I would strongly suggest they stop renting rooms its an embarrassment to this golf course.

This was about our 4th year in a row playing this course in August, it has been part of our fantasy football draft day ritual. This course has always been in impeccable shape with the best greens (bent grass) in the area. Complete disappointment is the only way I can describe this course today. Im not sure how a course can go downhill so fast in one year, but it did. The green on hole #1 is a complete disaster. It has divots all over it, mixed with sand, dirt and is just a complete mess. Forget trying to make a read, just pick up your ball and call it good. Some of the greens on the later holes were not as bad, but the greens are the worst that I have ever seen. I should have known, that when I received a coupon e-mail to play for $49.99, that something was amiss. They used to always play the bag pipes when we pulled up to the course. Totally a unique thing that only The Tribute did, well those are gone now too. I felt it was part of an experience when you played that course, but not anymore. A couple of changes inside, which did absolutely nothing for the clubhouse, they switched where the restaurant and pro shop used to be and took away the breakfast menu. They do however have crappy breakfast tacos now that they give away. We will be now looking for a new course to play next year, so sad.

The good: The course is laid out with a big aspirations of the Scottish links. And that is fun to feel like you are playing those great holes. The greens have plenty of tiers and some pretty challenging pin placements. The bad: Price is really expensive...weekend rate of $145 is really high and this doesnt even come with range balls! When we played, the greens were in pretty bad shape. One of my buddys putts litterally took a left turn on one of them due to the roughness. We played on a Sunday afternoon (during a Cowboy game) and few were out on the course. The cart girl told us she was leaving at the 8th hole and we were on our own... In my view, this course is not worth the price for the condition it is in now. We played on a coupon discount that was supposed to pay for just our cart fee (typically 20-35)...it was still over $50 with tax. If you have one of those, Id do it...else think really hard about if its worth it for you. Now the course could get better...greens can get better, service is easy to improve and it could get back to a great place. Right now...not so much...if you want nostalgia, go play Tour 18 instead.

This was my first time at The Tribute golf club and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The condition was excellent -- firm fast fairways and smooth greens. The recreation of the holes -- although I cant comment on the accuracy since Ive only seen them on tv -- was intriguing but what really stood out was the elements. The wind blew non-stop so you could really crush your drives or just hit them over 200 yards, depending on the wind direction. The staff said it blows 90% of the time so this course is no pushover for that reason alone. Take this into account on downwind holes because you may end up hitting it into the Burn or over the hole, which happened to me quite a bit. Make sure your sand game is up to speed because it seems like these bunkers have magnets in them to attract balls. The clubhouse was nice and had a great selection of hats and souvenirs. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely try this course again.
