Ocotillo is a one-of-a-kind golf spot in a state full of top golf spots, and the four-star golf course is suitable for both golf upstarts and old-timers.

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?

The White Course is the most unique of the three. It has only one par 5, and the water is a factor on just five of the holes. But it also has the best hole on the property -- the 479-yard, par-4 ninth, which used to be an easy par 5 but is now a treacherous finishing touch.

Ocotillo Golf Course

The course was in very good shape despite this being over seed season here. The fairway grass was a bit long and the greens were the slowest I've played on for quite awhile. Gorgeous course. My wife and I really enjoyed it and will definitely play there again.

Overseeding

The course was overfeeding. There web site said one nine was closed for overfeeding and the other two were open for play. The Blue course had been overseeded. The Gold had been done last week. It was our first nine. Grass was long, tough to get the ball to the hole on the greens. Tough to find the ball if you were off the fairway. The white course was the back nine, it had been powerraked and was ready for overseeding fairways and greens were very fast made for a tough adjustment. Driving range and practice area were closed. If we had known about the condition of the course and the driving range being closed we would of played elsewhere until they had everything in playing condition. Golf should of been a lot cheaper.

Close the coarse when overseeing or cut the ptice

I don’t know where Ocotillo golf club gets off charging $70 on a golf course that is being over seated. Front nine new grass was coming in. Could not drive on the fairways. Greens very slow. Back nine should not of even been in use was being cut back in it at the time. Mounds of grass everywhere. Just total garbage. Should’ve been closed

Total bait and switch

Course was being reseaded not worth play would not have played if known that Total rip off! Nobody should even be allowed to play when course is dead. Most courses say they are going down to re seed bait and switch can believe golf now would alllow this

Disappointing

The second nine we played was completely scalped in prepping for winter. I am not unfamiliar with this being possible this time of year but this was an extreme case in which the difference between the nine holes was stark and shocking. I made a complaint to the golf pro and they simply offered me a small bad of range balls. I am not typically one to complain but this was disappointing considering the green fees.

Shaggy

The course was very shaggy and the greens very slow. Lots of rain yesterday and many leaves and broken branches from the storm. The tee boxes were generally uneven and the grass way to long. Haven’t played here for several years and it will be a while before playing again.

Disappointed

Booked my round and no warning about overseer prep. White ch ourselves was lush and green, but they had us play gold, which was dead, dry and hard. Obviously the gold was getting peeped for oversees, but should not have been used, especially at the save rate players who got 2vlush 9s played.

Tough track but in great shape

Didn’t score well but the fairways, greens and rough were great. Traps were well sanded. Turf in the tee boxes was a little long. All in all a challenging but fun round.

Very Nice Well Maintained Course

Course was nice. Has a lot of water. Fairways were good. Rough was ROUGH. But that is how a course should be. Only issue I had was that the greens were very short due to the long grass. But overall, course was good and challenging.
