A beautiful day at the Resorter

It was the first time in a while I was able to play golf with my two sons. The weather was perfect, clear skies, temperature about 70 F. The course was in good shape and we got the round finished in under 4 hours.

Great Course for 20+ Hcp'er, Fantastic Condition

Loved this course. I'm a 23 handicap and not looking to get too chewed up by a course, especially on vacation. The holes are fair, with some more challenging than others and all in great shape. There are carry holes, target holes, driving holes and sand but all are reasonable. Low handicappers might find it not challenging but I've never known what that feels like so maybe not! Facilities and carts seem a tad dated but the course is great so who cares? And considering how much you'd pay at other courses in the area, PDR is a great value. Thumbs up!

Gem in the desert….

Great course for the price point.

No gimme holes.

A couple forced carries to challenge yourself.

Turf was excellent.

Greens rolling true.

Can’t go back.

Course has more variety than a lot of desert course.

11:10 tee time and had no delays on the course. Staff are friendly and helpful. I like the terrain of the course with some hills which make a welcome change from the usual flat desert courses.

Great course with amazing staff

This course is straightforward and can be played fast. Some really great holes specifically number 10 is my favorite. The staff is always extremely friendly specifically Connor and Rick who I always see there. This place doesn’t destroy you on the price either like some of the other courses around here. Definitely recommend coming here

Only played 9 holes/

Since I paid for 18 for 2 golfers and had to stop at 9 because my playing partner could not finish.

How do I get the credit for the other 9 holes? Tried to find a phone number but no luck. Thanks for your help.

On most courses if you pay for 18 there is no refund if you play less holes.

Great Experience

The course was in great condition. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The pace of play was amazing (3.5 hours). I shot 42-42-84 from the tips (only 6500).

Friendly staff, nice range, course was in great shape other than the 13th from the storm the day prior. Tee boxes could be levelled a little better but they were in great shape as well. The greens and bunkers played great despite the previously mentioned rain. Would definitely play again.
