Fun.

Had a good time. Fairways at times were a little thin but the overseer was better than most. Greens actually would hold a shot and putted fairly well

just OK

Very forgiving, lots of rough and little OB areas. I got away with a lot of bad shots. Course is in decent shape. Some interesting holes but layout is nothing to write home about. I was expecting more from a resort course. Overpriced for sure, this should be a ~$25 round but I played double that.

Greens are getting better

Lots of tall grass and weeds on perimeter of fairways making it hard to find balls.

Surprisingly good course!

Great layout with every hole a challenge. Tee boxes need some work, but the greens are excellent.

March golf

The course is coming in very nice now. The greens are in great shape as well as the fairways now.

They have put sand into the sand traps so over all the course is a great valve and a tough course to play and score well in.

Fair place to play

Easy to find, easy check in, water buckets for towels , water on course, carts good, no sand to fill divots, tees ok, fairways with rows of grass, bunkers pretty hard, greens fairly slow and occasionally bumpy, fairways also pretty hard, ok place to play if can't go elsewhere

Wet, Rainy and Cold

Considering we have been getting more than our usual rainfall and unseasonably cold weather for the Sonoran Desert in Arizona; the course was in much better condition than when it opened for the season October 5th, 2018.

In fact there was only one golfer ahead of us at our 8:00am tee time. We only saw 3 more golfers behind us when we reached the 7th hole. By the 12th hole Mother Nature said "There'll be no more of that!". The skies opened up and we were drenched........Done! We left without even considering playing anymore. Turns out there were funnel clouds spotted not 30 miles away yesterday!

Fairways

Fairways are like playing in the rough. It was difficult finding our golf balls in the middle of some the fairways which adds time to our round. Fairways need cutting. Everything else was fine.

Good value

Overall great value. Greens and fairways were healthy with only a few patches/areas that need work. Greens were firm but receptive with good and consistent speed. Some might say the rough is unkempt, but I thought it was a good penalty for inaccuracy that you could lose a ball only five or ten yards wide of the fairway. Pay attention to where your think your ball ended up. Tee boxes could have been better maintained. Pace of play was good. We played 18 in under four hours, but still had a twosome riding our butts most of the day. Would recommend and would play again.
