I Recommend This Course
Great value
For golf in the desert in February the course was in good condition. Greens were slow because they weren’t rolled, but most were in really good condition. Narrow fairways made it challenging for some weekenders.
Will be back!

Very good for the money spent
We really enjoyed the course. It was challenging and fun. After reading previous reviews we were pleasantly impressed. The layout was great and some of the ponds took a few of our balls. Our only complaint would be signage could have been a little better for those who haven’t played the course before.

Cathedral canyon
The course is in need of maintenance and updating, some fairways in rough shape as well as some bunkers. Staff were friendly enough the price reflects the course. Was still good to get out. Hadn’t remembered the name of the course when booking as a friend HAF taken me there last year.

Cart Problem
In our 3some, the second cart ran out of battery at the beginning of the back nine. It was impossible to contact the golf shop or help on our cell phones. We had to leave before finishing our round. Personnel offered no new cart or refund. We felt cheated to say the least.

Nice course and decent price
This Course is reasonably priced and in great shape. Good for all skill levels. Each hole was different and it’s very spread out. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely play here again.
