Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold

Course layout is beautiful with water everywhere! A few more weeks of growth and then will be fantastic

It’s a pretty course , good value , a lot of water to play over so depending on your game you may appreciate the challenge or you lay up

I have now played this course twice in the last year. Both times the course was in average shape and the pace of play was terrible with no Marshall present. But the worst thing about this course is their inability to process my credit card payments properly. The first time the card was rejected so I had to go to an offsite ATM to get cash and pay them costing me gas and ATM fees. The personnel at the desk did not know how to use the credit card machine properly. This time the machine is down so they have to process the payment the old way by paper slip and proceed to charge me twice. I will never be back due to their obvious incompetence.

The gold and white course were in great condition and we played both courses in less than 4 hours!

I have had a lot of issues with this course since Phil's camp took over.

Positives:

We played the Gold course and it was in excellent condition considering how dry this summer has been. The White course also looked to be in great condition, however we did not play this side.

Always a challenging and fun layout for each course.

Negatives;

The Blue course is being prepped for overseed and Ocotillo did not notify us prior. It was basically playing off of concrete. Beware hole # 6 on your approach shot, the green is very hard and your ball will roll through and off the backside into the water. Three of our players did this and their approaches had landed on the front of the green. The difference in quality for the Blue course versus the White and Gold is staggering, it was like playing two completely different rounds of golf. You do not get to choose thew course you play on Golfnow, it's luck of the draw morning of the round.

Also, historically range balls had always been included in your rate, that is no longer the case.

This will be the last time I play at this course until major improvements are made.

Target golf course, very enjoyable. Great rate with the summer pass.

Our foursome included a brand new golfer, we had a great time and finished in 4:15

Been playing Ocotillo for the past 10 years and I’ll have to say course conditions have noticeably declined since Michelson’s group took over ownership and operations. Fairways continue to be patchy throughout the year. Bunkers were hit and miss...some with wet but loose sand, some very compact. Greens today were at least in decent shape especially for this time of year. Props to the entire staff for their friendliness which helps offset the overall conditions. Ocotillo’s challenging layout and pristine conditions is what kept us coming back year in and year out. Hopefully, things will get better but until then....

The fairways are in very bad shape. They shouldn’t charge as much when the course is in such bad shape.
