Mission Hills - Gary Player Course

Exceptional layout with mountain views.

Loved the course

If you've played here in many years past, try not to think of the old days. Course was always in pristine condition in the old days. Since coming out of covid, like most courses, average is considered great. It's still fun, and decent enough where I'd go back again. Greens are slow and some spotty areas around greens. Overall, the experience will likely be satisfying to most players. Staff was really great.

Thought it was going to be pretty good value for my buck but unfortunately that was not the case. The greens were terribly slow and I know the course just opened but the greens are shaggy and not taken care of. The course was so dry and it doesn’t look anything like the photos. Only the fairways were green and everything else was brown. You would hit your ball in the fairway and it would just roll right into the brown stuff which is not taken care of at all. I would not come back here and even though the price isn’t terrible it is not worth it.

I have played this course several times and always enjoy it. Fairways and greens in great condition. Beautiful scenery. Interesting holes.

This time we arrived comfortably early for our 10:30 tee time. At about 10:00, the starter found us on the range and said he had a single going out at 10:07 and asked if we would like to join him, or keep our reserved time. We were ready so opted to go out early. Come to find out this gentleman had also booked his tee time through Golf Now about a week in advance, just like us. But he paid $104 while we paid $180. I understand “dynamic pricing” but can’t help feeling like I got ripped off in this case.

This course offers a great Gary Player layoutthat is fun and challenging for all player abilities.

The course is in good shape and I really like the layout. Nothing funky or gimmicky. We play it every year. Pace of play was good.

Course was in excellent condition, good value for price

Course was great. Staff was great. However, the tee box markers are horrible. They are small. The colors blend into the background of the course making many of them almost impossible to see until you are right on it. Not normally a problem at most courses, but these tee boxes are so spread out, you waste time looking for the correct tee box. Please make markers bigger and easier to see.

Locked out of restrooms on course, No beverage cart. No sand in bottles, Golf cart dirty with cigarette butts.

Great weather and nice golf course. All the staff was great. We will be back before we leave the desert.
