So So Course
We were disappointed in this course. They did not do a good job of overfeeding. The greens were not in very good shape. The starter did not keep people from starting too soon so there were traffic jams on the course. It was a little unnerving crossing the busy street twice. There is a crosswalk light but it is still scary.The staff was very nice. We will not play here again.
Desert Sands
This is a good course if you’re looking to just play for fun at a lower cost. Sometimes the staff isn’t probably as friendly as they should be for quality customer service (depending on the crew working at that time). The fairways are pretty open and beginner friendly. The greens are kind of tough to approach for a novice golfer because they are kind of “mountainous.” Meaning you have a good chance of rolling off the green if your not in a specific spot.
pitcher mounds
Staff were very friendly, we were twosome behind VERY slow drinking make foursome who constantly double backed towards us because they basically had NO CLUE where they hit…
All the greens were like pitcher mounds, I’m normally a very decent putter but it sure challenged me!
Foursome behind us almost hit us 3 times and never hollered fore once! I was very pleased when one of them lost their ball in the gully heading to 16 green after his partner missed us as we stood on 17 tee!
Needs water
The greens were ok. Lot a bar patches on the fairways. It over 4hr, that not goid with executive course.
Good course conditions
Good pace of play, very good course conditions, wide fairways, very tough greens that are domed, almost every putt will have varying degrees of break, bring your best putting game
Great staff
Overall course in good shape, greens and pin placement challenging. Will play again on Friday.
Perfect conditions
Beautiful day, the course was well maintained. Fairways in greens were in great shape. Pace was fast, never waited on anyone. Definitely will come again soon.
Will definitely be back
Great course! Played front 9. Staff very friendly, course in great shape. GREAT VALUE!
