Nice but slow

The course was fairly nice, the people, employees were great, friendly and helpful. The pace of play however is so bad. I am sorry but slow play is ruining golf around the country. People do not understand pace etiquette. Stand over the ball way too long, take so many practice swings, don't understand how to function on greens. Move slower than a turtle with arthritis. People need a clock on them, if they violate time limit, pick up your ball and move on to next tee. Marshalls typically are impotent and don't want to offend and so don't really make a difference. Most new or non golfers look for a deal and play in afternoon, which is also when wind blows, which creates a perfect storm of terrible pace, turns into a 5 hour round real fast. People should be required to take a golf etiquette class before playing, in particular on pace of play. Ok, thank you for letting me vent. But it was a nice course, good price, and any golf is good golf. Greens were consistent. I would go back!

Great Day on the Course

This course has been improved substantially in the last few years.. tee to green. Clubhouse. Practice Area. Etc. Enjoyable. As with all other courses in the valley, gets more expensive each year. A Senior Discount would be welcome. Very good how the border fairway areas are not green and it saves a lot of water. Will play here again next year.

Course in great shape , challenging, a bit slow pace of play

Really enjoyed this course. It was in great shape. There are challenging water holes and steep traps around many greens. Fairways wide and grass in very good condition. No large slopes on greens. The 18th hole is one of the toughest par 4’s we,ve ever played.

No much water available to drink on course🙁

Pace of play could have been improved with a diligent Marshall. .Carts in great shape with good ball wash and club wash.

Overalll one of the best values we’ve found in this area.

Nice track/Starter rude

I've played there many times and have always enjoyed the course, this time was no exception.

However, on the 1st tee, the starter on the tee has no business being there.

I had a 1128 tee time, course was full , all foursomes going out. He sent 3 ladies off at 1120 and when it came to my 1128 tee time there was 5 people with that group, obviously no fivesomes allowed. I paid extra for a solo cart as well. It was obviously apparent that there was 4 men in my group and one of them belonged in the 1120 group with there wives.

The starter told one of the men to get in my cart and another on to take his cart and join the 1120 group.

I told him I paid for a solo cart and he told me "That's life" Of course I told the gentleman in my group I had a reason for paying gor a solo cart and not to put bag on it, teed off and went onto play. This made it extremely awkward for a bit with those guys, even though they more than likely knew what was going on. A starters job is to send people out ...IN ORDER of their tee time, either this man can't read, or he was hooked up ($) for letting these guys play together, either way it made for an uncomfortable round. Did I mention it was 1122 not 1128 when 1st guy for the 1128 tee time teed off, and no tee time announcment was made. Honestly, the players would have done a better job getting the groups off if he just wasn't there. This is unacceptable on a busy course during desert golf season !

Meh

Fairly pedestrian course within a gated block community. Fairways and greens were in decent enough shape, Rough was dormant and mostly brown. Waste areas near homes are sand/desert. But they're not well groomed, giving the course an overall shabby aesthetic. For similar money, I'd recommend Woodhaven CC—which is right next door.

Twilight golf

Golf course in good condition but they don’t water the rough so it’s pretty bare. Fairways good condition and greens were excellent. We booked twilight rate but knew we would only have time for 9 holes so can’t report on the back 9. Really enjoyed the course.
