Fun course

We had a good time playing the course. The greens, fairways, and tees were all in great shape. The areas outside the rough were very dry and not pleasing to look at. But unless you hit a really bad shot that didn't affect play at all. The course is very fun and we enjoyed it. Good value, considering how expensive golf is in the desert.

Could be great!

This Course could be great with some $$ and TLC. Off fairways were brown and sandy and generally poor shape. It didn't affect play too much but it did diminish the overall visual appeal and enjoyment of the round. Not sure if this course is in its infancy or has seen its better days, but it was not quite on Par with other courses I played in the same price range.

They did have a great practice area with complimentary range balls.

Visually Unappealing

While greens and fairways were in decent condition, the rough and areas around the bunkers were dead. If you missed the fairway only slightly you were hitting off of hard pan

This course has steadily moved down hill over the years. Now it is nothing special and definitely not worth the price. The Course condition and, amenities, are all degraded. I do not recommend.

Good Course But Unattractive Surrounds

The course is very good and definitely women friendly...so it was fun to take my wife here. Maintenance is overall very good on the playing surfaces but perhaps the fairways were a bit too fast; not a deal breaker though. I liked the course and would probably play it more in the future but the perimeter of the course and the surroundings are not watered or maintained in the least bit so it is noticeably unattractive...quite ugly actually. Conservation is one thing but this is taking it too far...I'm thinking it's more of an economic decision than an environmental one. It is enough to keep me away more often than not and it is the only reason I would not recommend this course to someone who loves the game.

Nice course

Fairways, green, and tees are in good shape. Surrounds are not to the standards they were when owned by the Westin corporation. Very nice course layout. Fair for all levels of golfers!

Well Worn

This course needs a injection of $. It is amazing that Gary Player would have his name associated with this facility. It is in poor condition.

Underwhelming course for high season

Was expecting more “green grass” than just the fairways and greens. Lots of brown grass, sand and dirt. If you are a scratch golfer staying in fairway all the time you would be ok if not it was kind of a challenge and dusty.
