Unique location

Desert oasis, below sea level, surrounded by mountains (some snow-capped), literally in the middle of nowhere :-)

Oasis in the Desert

Course was in better condition than when I played it 2 years ago. They do not overseed for the winter so you play on somewhat dormant Bermuda grass. They do heavily water the Bermuda to keep things fairly green so you may find a few "slog" areas in the fairways.Greens are slightly bumpy but putt fine. Considering the harsh conditions that this golf course deals with during the summer months the condition during the winter months is remarkable.

Unique location

Such a unique place to golf. Fairways were fast with lots of bounce. Greens were slower than they appear. The pub was closed so not a great 19th hole experience. But wonderful relaxing game.

Great fun

Fairways in great condition, greens are painted but generally in very good condition. We had standing water a few places after atmospheric river .

All employees we interacted with were friendly.

Found this to be a fun desert course with oustanding scenery.

Nice course

I expected the course to be nice because I had seen the pictures. Well, it is! I was surprised by the lack of distance--a lot of that is me, but I'm improving. The below sea level seems to take a lot out of the ball. The staff was very friendly and the pro shop recently moved to a larger location. It looked to be very well stocked.

Loved it. Wish we played 18.

I played with my 10 year old son. To make it bearable, they suggested we tee him up where the fairway starts. It was a great suggestion. Make the time to play this course… it was worth it!
