Crap Course

Man, hate to do it but here we go.

1. Used to like this place and played alot cause was cheap, relatively well maintained and always could get a t time.

2. Is a horrible goat track now, dirt on sides of fairways everywhere and your ball rolls out of bounds way too much, bunkers are caked mud unplayable, fairways are crappy with weeds and all sorts of gopher holes etc etc.

3. Buy some new range balls already, the balls from 82’ are cracked and just beyond pathetic.

4. They pack em in and your T time is never on time.

5. Overall, just not worth the money and an unfair course due to ball lying in dirt or weeds or holes half the time even if you hit a perfect shot.

6. Only thing that is good is the food.

7. Will avoid at all cost going forward, unfortunate as it used to be my go to up until 3-4 months ago but they just are not reinvesting whatsoever in the course.

Surprising Gem

I came to play with a friend and for the low price I was not expecting much. Yhe course hss an excellent layout. Each of the greens were well maintained and very challenging, with varied slopes and speeds. As long as you stay in the fairways your good but if you go to any of the rough BIG trouble. Typical for a desert course. Some amazing scenic views and unusual tee box placements. Highly reccomend for the money. Ill be back.

Horrible condition

Greens are in good condition but the fairways, tee boxes, and bunkers are in horrific condition. The course looks like it was abandoned for a few years. But the staff seemed nice, and the layout is challenging. Lots of potential if someone would invest some money into improving the course.

Very POORLY Managed

Don’t waste your time and money on this place. Tee times are irrelevant, as we teed off over 40 minutes after our scheduled time.

Why bother with tee times if you have no idea how to operate within those parameters?

Employees making excuses when asked how this is possible, and blaming management for their poor judgment and desire to make an extra buck.

Not worth the wait, especially for what you pay

I have played this course two times in the last month both 45$, the first tee time we started 40 min after scheduled time. The second time was an hour after scheduled tee time. The guy in charge of tee times and the carts let his "friends" go before us. And when he eventually brought the cart over, he hit the brakes and skid the last couple feet. Other than the views this course has its not worth the wait and what you pay.

RUDE STAFF & OVER PRICED

Our golf cart died not once but twice during the round. The staff was rude and condescending. The course should be a last option only. They charge the same price as a JC course during the week days. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Course is rough and the pace is terrible most of the time.

Weekday course...avoid the weekend

Fun course, I play it often. Major issue is the weekends, the pack people on like crazy.

COURSE OWNERS/MGMT:

Please spread out tee times on weekends. Sunday is absolutely horrible! 8 minutes apart and no starter controlling pace. I get it, you need to make money, but you are making new customers hate your course due to this. Solution, make them 10 min apart and have an actual starter controlling who is up on the tee box

RUDE STAFF & TERRIBLE CONDITIONS

My two co-workers and I booked the first tee time out on Wednesday morning. We booked this tee time so that we could play fast and be in the office on time. First, the club house didn't even open until 5 min before we were supposed to tee off. Then we started playing and by the 4th hole we were waiting for the lawn mower to mow the greens on every hole. The guy would do 10 laps with us 140 yards away starring at him on the tee box. Then on the 12th hole our cart died. We called it in, and were lectured on how to lift up the seats and switch the cart on and off, which we had already done twice to get to where we were. By the time the guy had come out, we were a hole ahead putting. The old guys finally drove up and said I ain't walking back. "Who's coming with me!?" We paid $40 which is the same price as JC coursed at that hour. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DUMP.

No maintenance.

I don't think they own a rake. The sand traps look like native habitat reforestation. Please run the mower over the tumble weeds.
