Great day!

It was a great day on the course! I would like them to do something about their driving range. As fairways on either side of the driving range was littered with balls and it was hard to find our ball. Either raised the fence or use off colored balls for the driving range. Also there was several non-range balls in the mix which made it very hard to sort out which ball was ours. I assume that they are balls that got picked up off of the driving range that golfers had errant hit into the driving range. And never got sorted out.

Always a good course to play

I play this course regularly. The greens and fairways are in good shape They lost some big trees over the last few years, but they have planted many more. It's now under good management with some good ideas. Always fun to walk this course.

March golf is amazing

We were in town for a wedding and we wanted to play a great course. REally enjoyed this course. Pace of play was quick. We finished our round in 4 hours. Course was in great shape. One negative was the sand in the bunkers. It is a dark brown sand and tough to hit a consistent shot from the bunkers. Staff was very friendly and a reasonable price for club rentals.

Balls flying everywhere

The course was ok. I would not play it again. Fairways very close together. Number ten is awful being right by the driving range - you better use a colored ball. Even if you hit it in the fairway you may not find it if you use white. Many, many of balls from the driving range in the fairway. Almost got hit twice. Greens are very pitted so you do not get a smooth, accurate roll.

Forgiving Course

Not a desert course so errant shots can usually be recovered. Conditions were good with greens being on the slowish side.

Good Course But,

conditions were not so good. The course is very dry and tends to be less green than hoped for. The greens were also pretty well beat up. If you like Arizona golf ball roll, this course is at the top of the list. Play was slow due to the 2 guys we were paired up with. They played from the tips, but were senior-tees golfers. And, they took multiple practice swings on every shot and before we knew it we were ad,omished by a ranger to speed things up.
