The staff from front to back were the nicest around!
Nice course, friendly staff that makes everyone start out in a good mood. Tough drives with houses lined on both sides. Greens weren't super fast but pretty true. Will definitely try to play this course anytime im in the area.

Quick round in decent conditions
Course is in great condition - all of tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape. Note that greens are super small. Course layout is fine but note that it is super closer to the various houses so you may see people fairly close to you. Otherwise, we played super early and was a 3.5 hour round for a foursome.

Classic Desert Golf
The golf course has a classic layout with the exception of the last hole which has multiple water hazards between the tee box and the green. The fairways and greens were in great condition.

Fair for everyone
December is not the best month in the desert after over seeding but it was in pretty good shape and the greens were better than most we’ve seen. Just a nice pleasant course to play nestled in amongst nice older style homes. Would definitely play again

Course was nice but there are plenty of others with a better price. I’d look for a deal or special before playing again.
