Greens horrible

The course layout isn’t bad, greens were painted blue and had no grass was like putting on concrete. Ball would sometimes hold other times not.

Could be better, but it's off my bucket list!

We enjoyed our day, 75° in January, can't beat that but if I have to be honest the greens are a mess and very inconsistent. Maybe its a water issue but some greens had compact mud areas and some greens were so dry it was like putting on ice. I also thought the signage could have been a little better in finding each hole. For first timers, it was a little challenging finding either hole 3 or 4 and 18.

19th hole was convenient but pricey.

$60 for a 1/4 burger, chicken sandwich and 2 beers.

Grrrr8 experience

Nice time once again. But no water on course, no water in pro shop. No drinks in machine on 11 tee. Its called death valley for a reason.

Flat Course Still Recommended

Grass is mostly good, but bare or thin spots in unexpected places. Needed scorecard map to navigate — too few small signs pointing to next hole. Greens putted true. Terrific views and scenery. Uniqueness makes this a must play for traveling golfers. No course drinking water or coolers because of COVID pandemic. Bring your own or you won’t finish. Friendly single staff person. Would play again without question.

Lowest round in a desert storm.

Place is wild the wind was ripping. Ball would fall out of the air or float to a hault. Make sure you book a hot deal before you get there so you don't have to pay for the resort wifi as theres no service. Greens were slow but if they were any faster wind would blow you right off.

The Lowest Round of my life...

It is always fun to play the -est something and this is the lowest golf course in the world. and that made it neat.

The course itself was nothing special. Pretty easy and basic layout. The conditioned were definitely winter conditions as there was a lot of dormant grass. That all be said the weather was perfect (mid 70s) and I had a great time. Pace of was amazing - --> 18 holes in under 2 hours. The scenery surrounding the course was pretty great.

Definitely a must play if you are in the area and I would definitely play it again. I would love to see what it is like to play when it is really hot.
