Afternoon Golf

Played here several times, Course in really good condition greens firm but not real fast maybe a 10. Tee'd off at 4:05 and was able to finish although it was pretty dark, Has a couple groups in front that probably should have been playing indio muni or we would have finished at least 30 minutes earlier all in all great value.

Challenging Course

Great course for the price. Second group out and pace was amazing. Some dry spots and rough not the greatest but overall a fun time. Would have like the starter to be more accommodating to my large group. Definitely a course I would play again

Beautiful conditions on a very challenging course.

This represented a reasonably good value-for-money as the course conditions were excellent. For a 10-15 handicap or lower player the course represents a fair challenge; for a 15+ handicapper it is a significant challenge. For a 25+ handicapper, you might want to try a different course!

Nice layout with difficult pin placements

Course was in good condition with firm greens that ran about 10 on the stipmeter. They can put the pins in areas that leave little margin for error. The course is not long but requires some accuracy off the tee and shot making into the greens.
