Mission Hills - Gary Player Course

This course is in bad shape. Not worth the money paid ($49). It looks like no care went into this once wonderful course. Would not play this course again unless Teeoff charged $25. Not worth $50 or more as shown on Teeoff. Bring back pre-covid rates as there is not draw to play hot and tired pro like courses.Teeoff needs to drop prices to $25-$30 as no one is playing due to heat and dried up courses like Gary Player.

Thought the course was in so so shape. I know it's summer but was expecting more. Played 3 years ago at same time and was in better shape. Waterfalls not on, couple of tee boxes in bad shape. Greens were alright. Lots of water available which was good, GPS on cart was handy. Could have a better clubhouse setup. Friendly cart staff.

Course was aerated about two weeks before we played. So the greens were not rolling perfectly yet but looked like they would be great in about another 7-10 days. Fairways were in great shape for the middle of summer too. I made a mistake when booking through Golf Now but the very nice young lady in the pro shop was able to fix the problem for me and get our group out right away. ***The ONLY problem was that we were the last tee time of the day (apparently). Because the staff kept messaging us through the onboard GPS monitor in our cart. They kept pushing us to play faster so they could go home, obviously. We got messages like “you’re the only ones on the course so you can speed up” and “Is everything ok with you guys?” NOW MIND YOU- our foursome finished in 4:05. So the staff didn’t need to and shouldn’t have pushed us to play faster- we were under average time once we finished. I would play here again but I would like for the course to contact me and explain why they think this type of behavior from their staff is acceptable?!?! It’s too bad because I really like this place and love the course but our group was very irritated by this and disappointed in this level of customer service.

I love this course. First, it’s beautiful. It’s challenging but fair with enough tee choices and combos to fit every golfer’s game. The driving is forgiving with banks on both sides prone to kick a warrant shot back toward the fairways. Both times I’ve played here, the pace of play was great and the warmup areas are well kept and match actual corse conditions. A great desert course to share with out-of-state friends.

Greens were only ok. Fairways were mostly good. Bunkers a little thin for my liking. Played much nicer courses for less money.

Enjoyed layout and green conditions. Would play here again.

Overall the course layout is one of the best in the valley and use to be a great option to get out and play, but the conditions of the course is just disappointing, I know it’s summer but the fairways were unkept and dry spots everywhere. Lots of sore spots for homeowners to look at on each hole. Looks like they cut back any watering of the course. It use to be so much more lush and green.

After playing a tough course the day before ( pete dye Paga West), this course was more our style. Only problem was no cart girl on site. Aside from that, a good solid course, grest pace of play and friendly staff.
