Great course in the summer
I had a great time grabbing a round of golf in the heat of the summer. I found this to be a great value and the course was in great condition. I will certainly come back and highly recommend this course.
Beautiful course
I love this course. The Fairways were in such great shape that they are better than the greens at my home course. I had to take a closeup to send to the girls back home. Playing in the summer heat we only saw one other person on the course so pace of play was perfect. The guy in the Pro shop was super friendly and really made us feel welcomed
Everything was on point, nice fairways, T box. Greens still healing from being punched recently but Allan’s all a great day golfing.

Great course and layout!
I have played this course several times and it never disappoints me. Even though it was hot, the course has plenty of shady trees to help with the hot weather. The course was in great condition. I'll definitely play this course again!
Fun
Great layout . Staff was friendly and greeted with a smile . Course was clean and played great . Greens were well maintained even now that they are going through transition.
Course in great shape for summer greens rolling really goid
Course great. Pace of play pretty good for a busy day about 4 hours. Having a beverage cart or somewhere to buy drinks on the course would be nice.
The Price is Right
Fun course to play in very good condition. Enjoyed the stretch of holes around the waterfalls. Plenty of water available on a hit day.
Great spot
Course was in great shape, especially for late June. Staff was helpful and all went well. The only issue I had is that upon arrival we were informed that there would be a shotgun start because the residents all want to get their rounds in before it gets too hot. While this is understandable, it led to a slow pace of play. We waited on most shots and most holes throughout the round.
It would be helpful if this was noted somewhere during the booking process.
Greens very good!
Course in great shape overall. It was crowded but kept moving played in 4 hours. Great day.
Great course
Santa Rosa is a beautiful course and a great value. It is one of my favorites to play in the Desert.
The golf course is well maintained with beautiful large lakes and the greens were smoooth, we really enjoyed ourselves.
Always Great!!!!!
Played the Santa Rosa Course at Mountain Vista again yesterday in Palm Desert, and once again it did not disappoint. I’ve been playing here for well over a decade, and honestly, not one single time have I ever left disappointed.
The course was in fantastic condition from tee to green. Fairways were well maintained, bunkers were consistent, and the greens rolled true all day. You can tell the staff takes a lot of pride in keeping this place in top shape.
Always a great experience and one of the most consistently enjoyable courses in the desert.
SLOW PLAY and no course etiquette from locals.
This is the first time I played here. The course was nice and in decent shape. What is expected in this transition time of the year. Not sure if it’s posted but it would be nice to know that there are no beverage carts on the course as I might have planned better. But the hydration stations are a nice touch.
The pace of play was very slow. We played the hit and wait game all day. By T.C., to make matters worse, the group behind us kept hitting up on us all round. They were locals as they were driving their own golf carts.
If we were playing slow we would have gladly let them play through. But, when we are waiting to hit as well I found this to be very rude. After their approach shot almost hit us on 16 or 17 I finally yelled back at them.
Not only is this rude, but can be dangerous.
Decent course but not difficult
Second time playing the Santa Rosa course from the gold tees. Pretty wide open with few issues tee to green
I like the greens which roll true and they’re pretty well protected with bunkers
Our threesome was stuck behind a foresome and we waited on basically every shot. This course is in a Sun City development so I’m not surprised.
Drink cart only showed up on back 9 and it was pretty hot so could have used it earlier
Overall, pleasant to play and ok value for the money.
Summer enjoyment
The course is a fun track and the pace was good. Would have been nice to have a beverage cart make an occasional appearance.
Great condition
The course was in great condition. Greens are running fast and true. Staff was very friendly. Lots of bathrooms on course. Love the course layout.
