Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold

As always, Ocotillo lived up to expectations. Aside from the driving range being shut down and a few patches of dirt and fresh sod on the fairways due to their renovation of the irrigation system, on the Blue course, the course played without flaw. The Gold course was also in perfect condition. It seemed to me that the greens on the Gold course were a bit faster than the Blue, but both rolled true and made putting easier. I always love playing this course because it forces me to be conservative with my shot selection in order to avoid the water that seems to be on just about every hole. The pace of play was exactly what I was expecting and I finished my round in a little over 3 hours.

Just no cart lady after the first hole. Kinda ruined the round. They did give 1 free drink pass, but if no cart lady. What is the use

Still dont understand how they can charge what they charge & then up charge for range balls? Then after check in, advise that greens are struggling coming back from over seed. Fairways are in good shape but all tee boxes and most greens are pretty beat up. Great looking facility and staff is great.

I’ve played this course dozens of times - normally it’s in decent shape. Right now it’s definitely not. The tee boxes are a wreck, the greens are trashed and the bunkers are like hitting off of pavement. Now they want you to pay $12 to hit a few balls before teeing off. And the range is in terrible shape too. For the money - it’s not worth it. I’ll play whirlwind instead.

Also - why do they not fasten down the planks on the bridges? Taking a cart over the bridges is loud. Seems like an easy fix. A lot of decay showing at Ocotillo.

This course I have played many times and I’ve always enjoyed it. The conditions were atrocious for $170. Why they have never repaired the bridge that leads to the driving range. I have no idea it sounds like mortar fire going off absolutely ridiculous . Makes you not wanna go to the range. It’s so noisy. It’s too bad the conditions of the greens. The conditions of the fairway were so bad for such a beautiful potential course.

Great clubhouse and excellent restaurant but other than that, not worth the money. If there was ever a course that needs GPS on the carts this needs it. Lots of layup blind shots and double trouble water holes. Crap bunkers with crusty dirt and fading greens. Some of the areas surrounding the greens are dry and hard. Last time I played it had lush conditions and excellent bunkers. I was given 1 drink ticket for 3 bad greens but it was more like only 3-4 good greens. Dead patchy greens with lots of slopes just isn’t fun. Maybe for $50 but not $130. Needs lots of work, hopefully they turn it around. Btw also a 5hr round

Always enjoy the entertaining layout and the challenge of the course

I thought the $12 charge to hit unlimited range balls was a bit exorbitant given the greens fees are also expensive. Should be included in my opinion.

Just played this course this past week and the starter played it off like the greens weren’t that bad. They were absolutely atrocious and there was no sand in the traps. if you’re paying close to $100 I would expect this course be in much better condition than it was.

Definitely NOT worth your money right now. The course is in genuinely terrible condition from tee to green.

The tee boxes are a mess—uneven, neglected, and clearly not maintained for months. On most holes, you’re not even hitting off grass anymore, just dirt and sand. That alone should tell you everything.

The greens are even worse. Patchy, inconsistent, and easily some of the worst I’ve seen anywhere, let alone at a course charging these rates. I joked with my playing partner early on that we were “0-1 with the greens.” That quickly turned into 0-2, 0-3, 0-4… I stopped counting after six straight holes of unacceptable putting surfaces. It stops being funny and just becomes frustrating.

And the bunkers? Don’t bother. The sand conditions are so poor you’re better off pulling your ball and moving on.

For the price they’re charging, this is completely unjustifiable. There’s no evidence of proper upkeep anywhere on the course.

To top it off, the driving range was nearly unusable—almost every bucket was empty, with balls available in only a handful of bins. Whether it’s a staffing issue or something else, it’s not an excuse.

Whoever is responsible for this course needs to step in and fix it. Right now, this place is charging premium prices for substandard conditions, and that’s simply not acceptable.

Are they kidding? Premium bucks for no bunker maintenance and greens missing big patches of grass.

Well funded landscaping, cart paths and water mangment throughout the course. Visually interesting but funky layout that would be fun in good conditions. Surprised there was not GPS on carts given the number of blind water hazards. Conditions were much worse, tee to green, than expected for the price; unlevel tee boxes, inconsistently soaked and dry fairways (some hold shots and others are dry and thin down to blind water hazards), and thin compacted sand in bunkers. Greens were blotchy with many bare spots and had recently been painted/treated, punched and top dressed. For a local point of reference, most area courses are in transition preparing for summer heat. However, nearby courses and ALL the city courses are in much better shape.

While place is great. Green were recently top dressed so weren’t perfect but a great track and we will be back

Tee boxes are covers with debris from trees. Putting green were a mixture of seeds sand very little grass. Grabbed a tank to smooth out a bunker and fiberglass was embedded in my hand the rest of the day.

The greens are in rough shape, putting thru other than grass. The play was slow at a +5 hour round, sad. Fairways in decent condition but lots of dry and dead areas for as much water that they have available. Better options out there.

The greens on a few holes were pretty burnt up and pace of play wasn’t great but overall I like playing here and will return

I've played this course many times over the years and it's still one of my favourites. Great layout with plenty of challenging shots. You can play safe or play risk/reward shots on most holes

A great test of golf for all levels.
