Excellent condition, fun and fair

Played for the 1st time during Thanksgiving holiday week. Early Sunday morning tee time resulted in fast pace of play. Conditions of tees, fairways, bunkers, greens were excellent considering most desert courses were coming back from seasonal overseeding about a month prior. Course played fairly (designed with lush fairways bordered by closely trimmed dormant rough). Looking forward to playing here again on my next desert vacation!

Rough needs work...

I enjoy the course, but it's gone downhill. There is dirt all over the course. I know they're not watering the rough, but they're also not maintaining those areas. Condition needs to improve.

Mission Hills Gary Olayer

Pace of play was 4:50 in Sat. Waited in every tee box on the second nine (back nine start)

Course was decent coming out of overseed with the greens a little fury and slow.

Staff was excellent as always

Lovely course

Beautiful course with magnificent mountain views. Course is playable for most levels of players. Clubhouse is small and basic with limited amenities. Fun to play here.

We always enjoy this course and staff are excellent. We gave the amenities a poor score because the conditions of the bathrooms both in the clubhouse and on the course were horrendously dirty and the on course ladies restroom had a bad infestation of ants all over the sink area beyond usage.

Gary Player Course

The course is feeling dated and a bit worse for wear. Obvious signs in the areas surrounding the fairways as well as bathrooms, etc. The course was still cart path only. Overall the layout of the course is good and it plays long.

Little surprised

Great track. Pretty forgiving and looks like it’s going to be epic in a couple of weeks. They’d just sanded and punched but it still played very well.
