First Time
Played this course for the first time and really enjoyed it. Overall a fairly forgiving course but did have a few challenges. For the most part the flow of play was good but did back up with a couple of groups on the long par 3s. Played with a few vets in their late 70s/early 80s. Great group of guys that made me, as a guest, very welcome.
Will definitely play there again.

Great shape, frost delays pushing back actual start times
Like this course and in great shape. Pace slow. Delayed starts for early frost delays pushing back. Tee times after 1:00 likely means you won’t finish before dark.

Booked 2:00 time hoping to get 11-13 holes. Was lucky to finish 9 in dark. We counted 8 carts stacked up on a par 3. One of worst golf experiences in 45 years of golf.

Pace of play was good on the front nine but very slow on the back; there was 3 groups waiting to tee off on number 10 and it was like that the entire back 9. Greens and fairways were in great shape. The sand traps were very firm. Desert landscaping is nearly impossible to hit out of; either too soft or too hard.

Challenging but a pleasure
We were greeted with smiles & welcomes. The proshop staff were very friendly and efficient. The course conditions were great. There are several very challenging holes, but you don't feel defeated when you are done. The play moved well with completing the round in just under 4 hours. We dined in the restaurant and were very pleased with the service and food. We would not hesitate to recommend this course to others and will definitely return.

Great Condition, Boring Layout
First and only time I will be playing this course. I guess I’m not use to a flat golf course completely surrounded by homes except for the 9th and 18th holes, which I enjoyed. Don’t get me wrong, the conditions were excellent, greens were great. I knew this was a mistake on the 1st tee when I saw all the homes lining the fairway. Far from exciting for me.
