Rating 72.2

The Ocotillo Golf Resort sits on 185 acres and features lush contoured fairways that flow gently amid patches of mature trees, vibrant flower beds, pretty waterfalls and numerous lakes.

The Gold nine is a devilish test and not just because water comes into play on six of the holes. The greens have a lot of slope in them and are difficult to read. And some pin placements are brutal; hit a downhill putt two feet past the

hole, and it might roll down into a swale and 30 feet by. Uphill putts, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to get to the hole, if for no other reason than Ocotillo's greens aren't as fast as some of the Valley's marquee desert courses.

Two holes stand out on the Gold: No. 5 is a 212-yard par 3 with water running down the entire left side; and No. 9 is a 468-yard par 4 with a carry over water from the tee -- water that dissects the fairway about 50 yards short of the green and water left to the green. Par there is a great score.

Ocotillo's Blue Course is a watery grave; water comes into play on eight of the nine holes. It's not overly long but there's so much water the length becomes irrelevant. The best hole may be No. 1, a 590-yard par 5. Big hitters are faced with the classic risk-reward: Do they lay-up on their second shot or try to fly a tributary that splits the fairway about 50 yards short of the green?

Overseeding

Blue course was great. White course was dry and almost unplayable. I would wait a few weeks before playing here to allow overseeding to mature.

Way over priced for this time of year, why charge full price while course is being prepped for overseeding? Course was in terrible shape and paid $130 …… ridiculous.

Good, but not worth the price

The rough was too high, we couldn't find a bill that went into the rough. We are not playing the US Open. One teebox had so much goose turds we couldn't even tee off. There were a lot of tree branches that had fallen off and just laying on the sides of the course. For this price, I expect much better.

Hi Miguel, thank you so much for the review. This time of year, the courses start to go through transition. The winter grass has died out and the Bermuda grass is coming out of dormancy. Have a wonderful day!

Terrible Pace

The pace of play was absolutely atrocious. The staff was unfriendly and there was no Ranger to enforce pace. After every shot we were waiting 15-20 minutes. We got the the turn and two foursomes were inserted in front of us. We waited 45 minutes to start the back nine. They are clearly trying to increase revenue without any consideration for the experience of the golfer. Will not be going back.
