Rating 72.2

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.

Poor service, great course.

Review from 6.1 hdc.

Great course, I mean great. Lots of water hazards create a shot makers paradise.

Horrible service, tournament with dinner included ran out of food. Was told they only made 3 pans/trays of meat, and weren't supposed to make any more for the tournament.

Could be a great destination, but play and then go eat somewhere else.

Update 12/3/19

Course representative reached out about this issue and apologized and offered to make it right.

Would update review to 4/5 stars and would return again to play this beautiful course.

Winter Ready Excellence

Staff great as always. Slow play was handled by Marshall quickly. All aspects of course were in excellent shape. Greens are getting quicker from over seed. Very nice.

Only a few bunkers needing some love but most were really nice. Saw cart girls multiple times through 18 holes. $50 on a Sunday morning at 8:24. Excellent deal right now.

Incompetent

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.
