Overseeded fairways were fantastic

This is a enjoyable course to play. Conditions are above what I have experienced in the surrounding area. It’s very obvious the Golf Course Superintendent has high standards.

1: best overseeded fairways I’ve seen in the area, that includes private clubs. And I’m used to playing Arizona golf courses.

2: greens were edged, an effort is being made to keep the champion Bermuda clean against the collars.

3: sod work has been done to improve turf conditions.

4: all bunkers were clean and raked.

5. Driving range tee had just been topdresses.

Overall the course clean, fair, and fun.

Went and played with three of my friends. We had a great time. Course was in fantastic condition and we decided to sign up for their frequent player card, which allows us to play at a reduced rate for the rest of the year. Will definitely be back at least once a month.

Over-seeded fairways makes it nice to play on green fairways. Greens a little slow but roll true. Good pace of play until a twosome jumped ahead of us on ten tee. Overall great experience.

Solid straightforward course.

Nice to see green fairways, which were over seeded.

Greens a bit bumpy, but not unusual for this time of year. Several good holes on back 9.
