Great course, No food during your round.

Played here for the first time. The course was in good shape. The staff in the cafe were very nice. /Discovered there is no food available at the turn. Only sit down. Never before have I experienced that. Odd. Would play the course again, just would need to bring my own food and drink for playing.

Solid course😀 but 5+ hours👎🏼

Short but cool desert layout. Nice practice area, with short game area, multiple putting greens, and range. Course plays short but was in solid condition for time of year when most places closed to overseed. Only major complaint was the pace of play. We found four carts/two groups in second tee and that set the tone. We waited on virtually every tee and usually in fairway too. Ended up skipping ahead and found one group two holes behind. Otherwise good course.

Only one thing wrong with the course!

Everything was great about the course ...However, I hate it when there is a cart guy wating at the 18th hole to clean your clubs. You have a choice. Focus on your golf game or try to focus on your golf game while you keep an eye on your golf bag. Golf bags hold wallets, phones money etc. No one should be near the golf bags when the owner isnt there to keep an eye on their personal belongings. Everyone comes from the same gene pool. Thieves are everywhere. It doesnt mean the guy is a thief but why should my game be interupted by that. My buddy didnt like it either. Its really a bad idea. I use to be a cart guy when I was younger. I never forced my services on a customer that way!

Amazing course.

Easy course. All levels of golf friendly. Greens are tough to judge on some holes with their breaks… but overall will going back again.

Well Maintained

Fairly open course off the tee so it was tough to get in trouble. Fairways had no burnt out areas and greens were immaculate. Could use a snack bar and marshals could do a better job of moving along the often slow groups.
