Mission Hills - Gary Player Course

The course layout is great and the scenery is wonderful, but that's about it for the prose. Greens were long, bumpy and poorly maintained. Bunkers were hard and wet half the time. I was the first person out as a single and on the back 9 EVERY pin was pulled. I called the pro shop twice to fix it but they didn't until the 18th hole. I asked for a discount on the back 9 but was told I played too fast (don't in 2.5 hours) and they were very rude to me, acting like it was my fault that they booked a single to go first in the morning and were unprepared for it. Will not be playing again or recommending to anyone.

Front 9 was great. I was the first on the course so I wouldn't have to deal with what other reviewers have said about pace of play. I finished the front in about 1.25 hours which was great. The back 9 had every pin pulled and not a groundskeeper in sight. I called the pro shop twice to ask they put them in, but only the 18th pin (by the clubhouse actually got put in. I talked to management and the told me that I played too fast (finished in 2.5 hours) and refused to refund me even part of my Green's fee. They were also quite rude and I will be doing a chargeback on the whole experience. Greens were long and bunkers hard as well. I would not play here. It's apparently slow if you go later and if you go early the course will not be ready for you.

The course has been over seeded and cart path only.. The tee boxes were in goodshape, the fairways were thin. The worst thing were the greens. They were extremely slow and nothing rolled true. Paid $145.00, the value was closer to $80.00.

So sad this use to be a well manicured progressional course! Now it’s for sale again and it shows no pride of ownership or attention to any detail!

Had a great time playing mission hills. It was my first dessert golf experience. Didn't think I'd make it once 10:30 hit. Good was it hit. Beautiful course considering the heat. Had a great pairing. It was the last day before overfeeding and course maintenance. I would love to play it in a few weeks when it cools off. It will be absolutely beautiful.

The course was is great shape for early October and for the summer heat that hit the valley. However the pace of play was incredibly especially slow for the heat and they was not attempt to help rectify.

However I loved the of the course.

My entire 4 some left after 13 holes because of slow play, 3 groups on 1 hole, no course Marshalls to help improve slow play.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The course is very fair with large open fairways. The par threes are very fair at only 165 to 130 from the whites. Nice GPS on the carts. Also very beautiful surroundings and landscaping. Several water stations and notification when you are arriving with a ding ding from the GPS.

I found this to be an interesting and challenging layout. The design makes very good use of the available real estate and has a lot of interest. Generally I thought the course was in good condition, particularly given the time of year. There were some small spots with no grass but overall the course conditions were great!

I used the hot deal and played a round for $35. I couldn’t hit a fairway to save my life, but that’s not Mission Hills fault. This place hit all the right spots though, water coolers every few holes, GPS in the carts, free range balls included in your round and the starter even let me play earlier as a single before the sun got too hot. I would highly recommend this course at the price point they have it set at. I don’t remember seeing a cart girl, but the temp got to 110 so alcohol was not in my future anyways.
