They played very slow. Had to really hit the putter hard on most shots.

Great conditions considering 100+ degree weather

Considering 100+ degree temperatures (high of 117) during the first week of September the course was in great shape. You could bring as much water/Gatorade as needed so it wasn't a problem for staying hydrated. Everything was as good as could be.

Great course and great deal on Golfnow.com

Wonderful course and very good conditions for late summer. A couple greens are spotty with fungus or something but most are in good condition. Same for the fairways and tee boxes.

LOTS of picturesque water but very playable. The course is better than most at this time of year and a great value.

HOWEVER...the low price green fee is only in place through the end of September. They shut down for the month of October for re-seeding and maintenance and the price will go up to around $100 on November 1.

Course conditions

Considering 110+ temperatures, the course is excellent. Greens were in great shape albeit a little slow. Unfortunately, the temporary pro shop only had 2 Gatorades left, but the course was overall a B+.

A Really Great Value

I played alone after warming up on the driving range, range balls included along with a decent electric cart. The attendant/starter was very friendly and helpful but did not mention the course essentially shuts down at noon -- a summertime schedule that doesn't affect players already on the course, but if you're counting on a drink or lunch after the round, forget about it. Except for the cart garage, it's a ghost town from noon until the next morning. But fairways, greens, traps and tees are in excellent condition, very, very impressive for the desert summer. My home course in southern Arizona should hire this course's superintendent. I started at 9:44 a.m. and finished at 1 p.m. The layout is reasonably interesting. The back nine plays longer off the blue tees than the front nine. The dogleg left 18th hole is really interesting, especially for a first-timer: the fairway is bisected by a water hazard that's also on the right side. Don't even think about hitting driver. The 14th hole, 3-handicap, has a pond separating fairway from green. Except for the red stakes, the pond can't be seen from the fairway -- tough hole. I'd have given all categories 5-star ratings if they just had someplace to get a beer or a soda after the round, especially on a 110-degree afternoon.
