Very nice course

My first time playing at this course and won't be the last. Views were beautiful and the tee boxes are well maintained. A couple of the greens were being aerated which made putting awkward but not too bad. The staff was very nice and helpful and the carts were in great condition.

Return and Play

Played this course many years ago, and had cleaned up. Course condition is good except construction on one of the hole and got shut down. But all in all it’s a great value.

Boring Course, Terrible Greens

On the positive side, the staff were very friendly, and the food and beverage service were excellent.

Only 17 holes

This is a great course but they do a terrible job of informing people of situations that might have people book elsewhere.

I have played there before to show up in the middle of the day only to have the driving range closed without notice, (weekly on a specific day during the middle of the day. This should be done over night or after closing.)

Today we showed up and, without any notice or notification, teed off without incident. As we rolled up to the 5th green we could see construction on the 6th hole. The water hazard was drained and there was heavy machinery in the middle.

As we got done with 5 there were some signs pointing us to the 7th fairway. Not only was the 6th closed but the 7th tee box was in the middle of the fairway.

We enjoyed our round but probably would have booked elsewhere had we known we were only going to play 16 1/2 holes.

Also, no beverage cart! This should be addressed.

Nice Round on a well maintained course

Overall a great 17 holes. Some greens towards the end were quite spotted. We started at 7:00 and the course was empty. Seems like members can join in anywhere they want so on back nine we had one group in front and a group of two foursomes behind us. Overall a great morning and understood about the members hopping on since they are paying and season is coming to and end.

Course under construction

I’m giving a bad review because there is a course alert on the Golf now app. So I called into the pro shop and asked hey what’s going on with the course alert ,they said nothing. I was like no greens punched or anything like that. They said no. Everything is normal. Boom. I get there. Three holes are under construction, so you’re only getting 15. The range is nothing to write home about either only a few slots, so with so many choices in the Desert to pick from it would take a complimentary 4 some, since I paid for all 4 , and after completion of course go back , I see why it was such a hot deal at that price. Not worth it.

Always a fun course

Pace of play was great! Finish in under 3 hours. Currently some summer/off season construction/maintenance going on at the golf course. Hole 6 (par 3) was closed and hole 7 (a par 4) was turned into a par 3. Was able to play hole 1 twice to fill in 18 complete holes and make up for the par 4 missing on the card. There was also some maintenance on a hole on the back where the tee box was moved up on a par 4. I got a great deal on my tee time, very good conditions going into summer, no worries on dealing with the construction.

My favorite course

The fairways and greens are in very good shape right now with the exception to the par 3 16th. That green was horrible, all of the others were very pure. Only other down side is the construction of the lake on the 6th hole. 6 is closed completely and the 7th tee is moved up to play about 155 yards. It really throws your scores off since you're only playing 17 holes and one of the par 4's is playing like a par 3. I was told the construction will continue for about 2 months.

Great layout with value price

Private club conditions at a great price. Be aware that currently hole #6 is closed for renovation(a par 3). I played 2 balls on hole #4 to make up for the loss of the hole and the staff will also allow you to play another hole after you finish 18. Still a great place to play.

Overall good value for the $

This course is not difficult and is a great value warm up course. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in good shape. Bunkers are horrible though. Also, hole #6 was closed and #7 was shortened to160yds. These are two good holes so was a bit sad. Also, the starter did not tell us of work going on, including a leaking hose going across the fairway in front of the 5th green.

I understand that maintenance must be done but it would be nice to know in advance. I will play here next time as it is a nice course for the money.
