Great course!
This course is probably the best value for your money in the desert. Course is in great shape and a lot of fun. Staff is super friendly. 18th hole is a ton of fun, tee off over the water to an island fairway, then second shot over the water to the green. Would highly recommend this course, and will play it again multiple times.

Played in reverse. Nice round.
Had early 6:32 tee time and arrived at the pro shop at 6:32 am, but as we all know I was late. Cart boy let me play back nine solo. It was great, quick, but no flags, which hurt my score. At the Tuen I waited to get a slot, and was behind the men’s group. No worries, I already had 9 holes behind me, which helped with my patience. Played the back very relaxed and scored very well, but had two lip outs. Tee hexes were well taken care of, and the greens were recently rolled and in great shape. This course has improved substantially, and if you can get a good tee time, and price, it’s a fun track that you can score on.

Muni golf
At $50ish in the desert, can’t have much in the way of expectations, BUT this was much worse than my round here about a month ago. 5+ hour round. No GPS. No drinking water on course. No starter, just a cart kid (doing his best). 3 groups deep on first tee that had to sort out the order. No marshall on course. Groundskeeper ran mower over ball in fairway. ‘Nuff said.

Play This Course!
Sharon met us near the first tee, was very cheerful and informative. She got us a cart and we hit a few at the range before we started on time. The course is not difficult and we finished under 4 hours. The greens were great with some subtle breaks. I missed a lot of putts by inches. It was the perfect way to start the day!
