Grass on fairways and tee boxes was spotty, greens very fast

One of my favorite desert courses; the course is challenging and the greens are great.

Haven't played in a couple of years and after reading reviews decide to play. Most of the tee boxes were in good shape, greens were fast with lots of undulations. The fairways were had little grass with lots of tight lies. Needs some TLC.

Course had a 40 minute freeze delay that set the round back. Pace of play was 3 hours for 9 holes. I left after 9. Fairways were worn down.

Excellent layout, medium condition.

Whoever went on the big rant about gophers, there are some but it’s all out of play. Huge exaggeration.

Good value, I’ll go back.

I haven't played much in the IE (about 5courses) but this has been the best course I've played overall. Fairways were challenging and rewarding. Greens were great! I didn't play my best, but I had fun with the layout of the course. For the price, this place is definitely worth every penny.

Let me start by saying the service was great and friendly! The restaurant is finally open again and priced fairly. The course on the other hand was really sub par. Greens were firm and fast but extremely bumpy. Bunkers were in disrepair. Tee boxes were not in good shape and lots of uneven spots. Fairways were alright but just inconsistent with bad lies even in the middle of the fairway. There are gopher and ground squirrel mounds everywhere especially in the roughs. It was just really disappointing to see such a great golf course fall into such condition. I would not recommend this course and won't be back until improvements are made. I know it is winter time and perhaps in the sitting and summer it'll be better but they really need to work at it.

I've played this course many times in the past 23 years. The greens were rolling fast and pin placements where not ideal causing me to miss several birdie putts and even short par putts. One problem on the 6th th par3 was when I pulled my ball out of the cup it cut my finger and had to put a bandaid on. I looked into the cup and it seems that someone was jamming the flag hard enough to break plastic off and make sharp edges. Hole after hole I noticed many of the cups someone did the same thing causing the cups to have broken plastic inside. Not a big deal I guess

We've played the course a few times in the past but always in October with good conditions for fairways and greens. Not so this time, but maybe because it's December? Fairways were rough and dry and damaged. As were the greens. We played at noon on a Wednesday and there was nobody there. Really. Cruised around as a twosome playing two balls each in a little over three hours. Never met up with anyone. Had to create preferred lies on just about every shot due to otherwise unplayable conditions. We did have a good time and made the best of it. I like the course layout and will play again next year if conditions are better.
