Great Course

Course in great condition. Clubhouse staff friendly. The cart person at the end of the round put a damper on an otherwise great day. A situation arose where diplomacy and professionalism would have been appreciated. His aggressive, condescending and disrespectful manner was unpleasant and disheartening. Fortunately, we did not have let the situation elevate which his demeanor and personality could have easily done.

Only negative is long par 3 8th hole. Regularly backed up 2-4 groups. Too long and too much water for a resort course frequented by seniors.

Another one for our list

So many desert courses have over priced themselves, but these folks have a good rate on line. Really good course with quick greens and generous fairways. Very good track!

Mountain Vista

This course is in great condition. But, it’s boring. There is very little change in the layout from hole to hole. A lot of sameness about the course. Just about every fairway is lined with cookie cutter homes very close together forming almost a wall effect . The landscaping is very nice and the conditions were great. Beyond that, not exciting.
