Need helps

The course needs help. Maintenance staff either doesn’t exist, or they don’t have the funds to take care of it anymore. It’s going downhill fairly quickly.

No grass

Have played here before but the course conditions have really deteriorated. Mostly bare dirt and very thin grass. Not sure if it's lack of water or disease but terrible. Hard to bet they charge $65

RW

I play RW regularly, because during snowbird season their prices are reasonable. I have seen conditions improve quite a bit over the last year. Their bunkers have genuine sand in them. Greens have improved greatly over the last couple of months. Layout is challenging with a nice mix of hard and easier holes. Hopefully, we get some rain or they will have to start irrigation on the course.

Too pricey for what you get.

Other local courses offer much better course conditions for the same price this time of year.

Needs a lot of work

Unfortunately this course is in horrible condition. The fairways and rough are hard pan and the greens are just as bad. I’m not sure who set the price for this course but there is no world that anyone should pay that kind of money for a golf course in this condition.

Pace of play was awful

The course seemed to be in pretty good shape overall from what we saw but we left after 11 holes it was so slow. Pace of play made the day unbearable just couldn't take it anymore. It took 3:15 to play 11 holes, according to their GPS it stated we would have taken another 3 hours to finish. I get it it's high season and all but there did not seem to be a lot of people on the course, definitely no ranger, didn't see one all day. I won't go back.

Place was awful

I’ve played here a couple of times and it was decent. Today it was horrible. No watering of any fairways, bunkers not even raked, and greens were awful . If management is not going to take the time to maintain a course then it’s not worth playing. Would never play here again.

No Sand

A little more maintenance would go a long way.

Try putting some sand in the sand traps instead of just packed down dirt with a little sand on top.

I really like the new food shack at the pro shop.

The greens rolled very good. I’ll be back.

This is it

Want to be treated like an out-of-town member at a great facility staffed by warm and friendly people? Play here. Course is firm and fast, in reasonably good shape if you keep it in the playing areas. Great snack bar adjacent to the golf shop complete with free coffee, Great grill room open at 11:00 a.m. if you want something heavier or a drink after the round.
