Great course and perfect for colder winter days

My goal was to keep playing golf when it was cold in Vegas for a few days and why not see Death Valley at the same time. I was really surprised with this gem of a course and loved it. Layout was fun, huge trees all over the place, price is reasonable and great place to hang and get a beer afterwards. Not likely great in the summer but, in the cool winter months check it out!

Lowest Course in the World

Played this course because it was 214 feet below sea level. The layout was great…lots of fun holes requiring lots of planning. The conditions were not great…painted fairways/greens…am sure it was a fertilizer paint, but it hid the fact that there was very little grass on the greens and very spotty fairways. Winter conditions had a lot to do with this, so hopefully I can come back “in season” and find a great layout. Not really worth the $75 to play.

Hurricane Golf

We played when winds were 30 with gusts to 45. We played the forward tees and had a really fun time. Pro shop was very nice offering to let us play the next day, but we embraced the challenge. Some great vistas and a fun course. Go play it.

Great time

Except for two greens, the course is in the best condition that I've seen. Considering this course is in the middle of a desert this says a lot. The grass is conditioned to the location so don't expect fairways and greens that you are accustomed to. The views are outstanding in every direction so bring your camera.

Desert Golf At It’s Best

This course was sooo much fun. Coming from Florida, the weather was phenomenal. The big wide open fairways made for a fun and fast round while I was on vacation. The pro shop had good rental clubs and GolfNow got rates are definitely the way to go. Loved the whole experience.

Great golf course

Thanks to Jon for all his explanations, greens are very slow and with sand, but fairways are very good.

Furnace Creek

This is a hard one to call. The greens on the front had been punched and sanded and the back nine was closed to do the same. The course layout seemed okay and the fairways were better than I thought they might be considering the location. Having said that, I was extremely disappointed with both the course and Golfnow for not being upfront about the conditions. Buyer beware.
