New greens - they will be amazing when they age. Back nine is amazing- great holes - every one.

Rangers need to do their job and move folks along.

Sad Service

Starter was a miserable. Course was "Cart Path Only", which made it play very slow. Was over priced for the conditions. Tried to grab a bite to eat after, but was never approached by a server so we left. Will not be back.

Challenging, you need to accurate and lucky.

New greens made play challenging as it was difficult to hold a green.

Downside: I left a wedge on the front nine and told the player's assistants on the course by the 11th hole. It was never "found" . I contacted the proshop over 3 days and no luck.

Not worth it!

Course was in terrible condition. A dog track. Unattractive , ridiculous greens. The worst experience for two very experienced golfers.

Fun Day

Course had some problems due to the hurricane - that said the track is very challenging and fun to play. I thought the course conditions especially on 18the hole deserved a higher discount.

We were just over 4.5 hours so pace of play was decent but that said waited for much of the round. Marshals were friendly but had no impact on the situation.

Golf Shop staff and starter were very friendly and effective.

Overseeding

We played the Dunes course, which was in decent shape. They were cart path only which was a bummer, because of the overseeding. For the money, it was not worth it. I have to say it was nice that the starter gave us a handicap flag, since my playing partner needed it. We were able to do the 90 degree rule.

When, the course is fully open, it will be in good shape. It's just the cost that they will be getting over the winter out here in the desert is ridiculous.

Wow!

Such a great experience and the only downside wasn’t the courses fault. The flooding from August is all cleared up and they were laying sod in the fairway on 1 3 and 9 and due to that they had ground under repair. That’s the only knock. This track is a must play! Thank you!!

Early Season

It was early season. Greens were not taking balls well as they were sanded. Challenging greens to putt. I would stay away from the back two sets of tees unless you hit it like Rory. Play up a bit and enjoy your round. I am 76 with bad arthritis and played mid 80’s by keeping it in the middle.
