Very difficult course to get onto, even with golf now. Too many men’s & women’s days. Also very expensive. Still would play it again.

Made for long hitters

This course is pretty wide open. I’m a 3 handicap and shot even. I can drive it 250-265 and this course let’s you swing away. If you can play decently, you can go low here. Fairly easy course with beautiful Mountain View’s and great course conditions. Played behind four ladies who would take eight or nine shots each just to get to the green. Then the four and five putt each show began. It was S L O W to say the least and after nearly five hours (seemed like ten) we finished. Good place if you can avoid the super elderly foursomes who play 40 yard scuff ball rather than golf.

Great course

The course was in great condition. The course was crowded but we kept moving. Only one bottleneck around hole eight, par 3. Was told this is typical. Opened up after that. Hopefully, I ‘ll be able to make tee time as a single and play again.

Course was fabulous, but delay getting in and one staff member ruined our day

We thoroughly enjoyed the course - it was in great condition and the layout design was fabulous. However, a 20 minute wait at the security gate to get in, and an incredibly rude staff member really put us off coming back. The delay at the gate was ridiculous - they should have either a separate line for golfers or two staff members working the gate, This was our second time playing here and the first time we waited 25 minutes to get in and almost missed out tee time. Once we arrived, I was checking in and my husband was putting on what he thought was the putting green (2 people putting, 3 chipping) and a staff member basically yelled at him to get off the chipping green. There were no signs saying it was only a chipping green, and the guy was very abrupt, so we started off on a sour note.

Greens moderate speed, good condition. Carts were not allowed off cart path due to overseeding still needing time to establish.

Standard resort style

All the holes are the same. Very few hazards other than bunkers. We were disappointed in our overall experience. Beautiful vistas.

Cart Path Only

Having not being told the course was cart path only as seeding and sanding had just taken place, we were expected to walk a challenging walking course in 87 Deg F heat.. Elderly players were getting into health challenges in trying to cope. My wife was not able to play under those conditions and just rode with me , playing the odd tee shot and putting.. The martial was rude and would not address concerns of players in distress
