Amazing Track

Hadn’t played this classic Dye Desert layout in years and was happy to see the course is being looked after and is still relevant as one of the best desert layouts you’ll ever play. The staff was friendly and the course conditions were in top shape. Highly recommend for your golf break.

One of the most scenic courses you can play and overall enjoyable. The Ranger could have done a better job keeping up the pace of play as we were around 4:45.

Ridiculously slow pace of play.

Very frustrating to wait at every hole and have to finish on hole 15 as there were so many groups lined up in front of us we had to call it quits early.

Marshal said slow players at 9 am slowed play all day.

If they anticipate this they should put out fewer foursomes , if they can’t keep golfers to a steady pace.

While the course is strategically difficult and beautiful, our experience was marred by our inability to complete 18.

Great course

I love this course. It’s spendy but a beautiful setting and great facilities. I love the fresh squeezed OJ as part of a morning cocktail. The staff is always friendly and helpful from when you arrive, to checkin, to when you finish. The course is always in great shape, is laid out well, and the setting is amazing.

Beautiful course, don’t book after 1pm

Course is gorgeous, great view of the mountains. Just don’t book a tee time after 1pm. They made us return the carts a little after 4pm even though there was over an hour of daylight left. Bummed that we paid full price :(

Beautiful course, but do not book a tee time after 12pm

Course was beautiful, a little difficult but fun. Reason it gets three stars is not necessarily the staff themselves but I’m assuming what the staff has to enforce. Firstly we had one member of our threesome drop out, so I used GolfNow to adjust the reservation two days ahead of our tee time. When we went to check in, GolfNow had not communicated the adjustment to the course, so the staff member gave me a hard time, even saying that they should charge me a fee, I showed them the adjustment email I got from GolfNow and they let me off the hook thankfully. Lastly, and worst, apparently they need all the carts in by a little after 4pm? So me and me friend only got to play 11 holes. This really bummed me out since we paid full price and there is easily an hour and a half of daylight left. Yet again great course, but do not make the mistakes I did.

Early winter delight

Beautiful course up against the mountains. Only a few holes at the turn ran through resort homes. Much more playable for an average golfer than the Stadium; definitely a Pete Dye course but not extreme. Plays fair. Very good condition. Just overseeded so greens ran a little slower and fairways were a little softer ( just not as much roll)

Cart Path Only

When booking reservation was never told it would be cart path only. Had I been told would have picked another course, which is why I probably wasn’t told.

Rough was absolutely terrible

Unless you hit the fairway, the odds of finding your ball were extremely low. The rough was equivalent or worse than what you’d see at a U.S. Open. Fortunately for the pros, they have spotters. Unfortunately for us, we do not. It was obvious that every other group was also searching for their ball in the rough and overall it slowed the pace of play down dramatically. The scenery was fantastic. The combination of the slow greens and forrest-like rough should equate to the course not charging premium rates. I would have hoped for the rough to be cut down to a reasonable height prior to the course reopening. It honestly resulted in my whole group being pretty salty at the end of the round.
