I Recommend This Course
Classic
Like an old friend
The course is always a fun round
My only complaint is the quality of the sand in the bunkers
One would think being in a desert the bunkers would be quality but they need some care and filled with adequate sand and not hard pan 😱
But if you avoid them then you should have nothing to complain about

Course and views are great. The men’s bathroom and locker area was not good. The bathroom walls were dirty and overall condition dated.

Exceptional public course
I have played the Mountain course several times and always enjoy it. The views on the back nine are amazing! The course was generally in good condition but the greens extremely slow. The pace of play was better than expected at under 4 hours.
