Great Value

This is a fun course to play. It's not overly difficult but does have some hazards to watch out for. It's in decent shape but the greens were punched and there was a lot of maintenance happening on the back nine. The crew didn't place the tee boxes and there was a red flag on the back of the green on 17. Regardless, I'm certain I will play there again over the summer.

Course was less than expected

Lots of construction. No starter. No one really told me anything when I arrived. Basically a guy handed me a key for the cart and said have fun. That was all the interaction with staff.

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.
