Communication issues /conditions

Got to the course for early tee time and they informed me they don't take cash. Would be nice to know this in advance as that is what I brought to pay with. The starter asked me to go looking for cash. Miraculously the manager came with a huge wad of cash to give me change. The course was not in good shape. Greens were soooo long and sooooo slow. (Not manicured) there were broken water pipes around the course I had to actually drive through the fringe on a par 3 on the front nine to get to the next hole because there was 3 feet of standing water. Also, they never pair you with anyone else. They just send you out as a single and it gets awkward when you have to ask to play through foursomes. I am kind of saddened by the shape of the course. I first played this course in May of 2000 and had been coming back every summer. Doubt I will anymore. On two previous days the same week I played Indian Wells Celebrity and everything there is just much more together. Course was in amazing shape and staff was always there for any needs I had. They also have trackman at every range stall for warmup. ( a definite plus)

Work in progress

Course was nice ! Super challenging! The greens were a lil rough on some holes and long on all holes! But tou could tell they were letting the greens heal . Some rot on quite a few greens to which we wished they would have had better pin placements on most greens to help with this issue! But overall really really nice course ! Staff was super friendly to which they explained to us that they do a lot of course maintenance in summer

Great round

This was one of the nicest and most diverse golf courses I've played recently. Every hole was a little different and required concentration and skill. Thoroughly enjoyable

Fun layout

Greens were a little scuzzy but that’s expected this time of year. Great price and had the course to myself with early start. Free bottles of water and GPS included. Traps in great shape.

Slow pace of play

There are no Marshall’s, so the pace of play was terrible. Long waits at every hole starting on hole3. Made for a long day and couldn’t get into a rut hum. I would play again, if they had a faster pace. Course itself was nice and challenging.

Another Great Round

As usual, the Gary Player course at Mission Hills was very enjoyable. The course was in good shape and the weather was great. The pace of play was just average on this day as it took 4:30 for the round. That's a little slow for the desert at this time of year but it wasn't bad as the weather was great.

Not what it used to be

General conditions on the front nine were not good. It appears they have drifting sand issues and have not been able to overcome it. Greens on the front side were rough as well. Back nine was in much better condition and is farther from the drifting sand. Probably not worth the money at this point

I’ve never seen this course let it run-down as this bad. I suppose you can blame it on Covid19 but horrendous tee boxes to mediocre fairways at best and greens are hella slow.

Great layout and price

I would definitely play here again for the price. Maintenance is good but not great. If you want perfection, play the Mission Hills country club instead of this north course. that being said, it’s awesome to play a Course with a great layout and no one is there during the summer.

Nice enough

A nice course, the fairways and greens were in good condition but the cart paths were sandy and often wet and muddy, looked a bit shabby. Bathroom on course needed a clean. It’s a nice enough course but you’re still paying plenty when there are so many other, far more interesting and beautiful courses, for similar money.

It was a windy day so we pretty much had the course to ourselves.

Seen Better Days

This could be a pretty nice course, but some areas are not well managed. The greens aren’t in great shape. Most of the bunkers didn’t have enough sand. Also, several bunkers were soaked or had puddles of water in them. Tees and fairways were in good shape and the layout is pretty good too.
