Surprise!

We were pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. The fairways were lush and the greens rolled smooth and true. It was in the best condition I have seen it in the three years I have played here.

Expectations Met

Early morning tee time so pace of play was up to us. Under 4 hrs. Worth the rack rate. The greens were excellent good speed and in great shape. I’d play this course again.

Francisco Grande

We try to play this course often. Yesterday the pace of play was extremely slow. There did not seem to be a course Marshall or ranger. One possible reason is the 8 minute tee times. Group ahead of ours was very slow. We waited on every tee box but no 1.

Notwithstanding, the course is good value for the money

Gem in the Desert

This is the second time I played this course. Not overly difficult but fun and in exceptional shape. We were paired with a couple of fun guys from Alberta and we had a great round. I plan to be back with some friends in early April. If they continue to pay attention to the course, this will be a real gem.
