Good lil track

Not bad lil executive 9. The first and last holes are the only holes to use driver. This course is not too difficult but will test your iron play. Fairways and greens were a bit longer than usually but still overall decent course. With smaller chipping and putting greens to practice and driving range which is only like 220 yards until you hit fence. I’ve hit over on a few monster drives. Not too shabby of a course par is 30

Pleasant morning at Palo Verde

We had a very pleasant morning at the Palo Verde course. It was in good condition right after overseeing. Greens were slow but in good condition otherwise.

Staff were friendly and helpful. An enjoyable experience overall.

Very good value!

I played a few days after aeration so the greens were bumpy, but the staff warned me in advance and this has to happen a couple of times every year. Beyond that, I found the course (9-holes, par 30) in surprisingly good shape. It was easy to the course is well maintained. Best "bang for the buck" I've found in years.

Great Course for beginners

Great 9 hole course for beginners and people working on their swing. 3 holes may let you work with your driver while the other 6 focus on irons. Course is in great condition and driving range is great too.

Slower Pace-Ladies’ League

Was a good round but slower as it was Ladies’ Day. Our group of 3 was behind a group of 4 ladies. Nothing unexpected as we got on a good half hour before our original tee time. Still enjoyable!

Great 9-Hole Course!

Recommended to us by fellow snowbirds. Lovely little 9-hole course. Greens and fairways in good shape. I’m not a great golfer but was able to keep up with the pace of other golfers. Tee time was booked for 9:36 but were allowed to go earlier. Friendly, helpful staff.

Only one set of the boxes

Nice little course, in good shape. Very friendly staff. The only problem is there’s only one set of Tees.Some of the par three’s are too long for the ladies.

Very good course for the money.

Very impressed with the care of this course. They used the pin placements to make the greens a little more challenging. The fairways are very green but if you got off the fairway the ground was dry which made it a little difficult to use a lofted club.

Great Little Public Course

My wife and I played this course in mid-morning and were paired with another 2-some. The weather was perfect and the course was in great shape. Watered appropriately and the greens were well taken care of. The driving range had fresh grass in the boxes and the practice putting green mirrored the course greens. Overall a good course and a great value.
