Mountain Vista Golf Club - Santa Rosa Course

Always in nice shape with luscious green fairways and rough. Wish they had a beverage cart or convenient way to pick up food or drink. Nevertheless, always a pleasure to play. Deals are available in the local paper and golf magazines.

Played for $79 with GN rate. Course is in amazing condition. Great layout. Fairways were wide, but you can still easily find trouble off the tee. Im a 13 handicap and will definitely target this course when im back here in March. Only complaint, no snack shack to grab a sandwich or beverage cart on the course. Lots of old folks at this place, that must pack a lunch for the day. ha!

Course in very good shape, greens on course different pace than practice (slower). No cat girl on course

Having never been at this course before it was difficult just to find the course. This course is in a secure community so be prepared to spend a few minutes getting through security. The course itself is not marked with signage...the first building that looks like it may be a clubhouse simply says, "recreation center". So after driving on, then asking directions from 2 separate people, which were wrong, we went back to the recreation center which turned out did have the golf shop attached to it.
The golf course itself is rather mundane. It's a simple layout with most holes being straight, and having elevated greens.
Be prepared for a 5+ hour round as the course caters to more of a senior crowd. This normally would not be a concern but for my round the group in front of us was painfully slow to the point of causing a 3 group backup on the tee. When we spoke to the Marshall about it he told us that there was no problem and we should expect a slow round. Later, the Marshall came to us in a panic, told us that the slow group in front were going to leave the course and told us that WE were going to have to go faster because the groups behind were livid at the slow pace.
Overall, didn't enjoy the experience or the course.

1st time playing this course and was well worth it. I have played a few other Sun City courses and they all have been real nice courses. Santa Rosa course was in great shape and it was a great layout. Will definitely play again next trip to Palm Springs

Paired with members who were gracious and really enjoyable to play with.

It was our first time here and we weren't sure what to expect. Google maps gave us the impression that most holes were closely lined with houses which turned out not to be the case. The rates were very reasonable for a course in good condition with some interesting holes. Rate of play was good. We will play it again and we'll also try their other course this year.

Had a very pleasant afternoon. The course is well cared for and offers great service in the pro shop.

Was immaculate. Easy design not to challenging. Many holes looked the same.

We played prior to closing for overseed. Hard and fast , good for short hitters . Pretty good pace of play, but visually weak because of lack of water.

The staff was awesome , however the pace of play was very slow, we had a foursome in front of us ,probably beginners, their course etiquette and management was very poor .

Otherwise had a good time

Water on the course was eye catching, but not a big threat. The waterfall was a nice touch on the back nine. Mountain views enhanced the experience. Houses did not seem to infringe on play.

Good choice for high handicapper. Wide fairways. Surprising greens. Reasonable pace.

Very good teebox, excellent fairway, very sharp green. Green was pretty fast & confused.
We had nice rounding.

played on a Sunday so it was a little slow .4 1/2 hrs for a foursome . we played three times on the week and this was in the best shape . great vistas from some of the hoes . greens were in good shape and challenging.We will play this one again

Course was great. Staff was the worst. On that alone I wouldn't come back even the rates were cheap or free. We go to pay of our tee time and the lady throws the golf cart keys at us. Not friendly at all very rude with attitude. I won't play there ever again based on the staff friendliness

Great course and community. I've always seen this course listed with booking on GolfNow but I didn't know much about the course and had never heard of anyone playing there. My wife and I decided to give it a shot and we were pleasantly surprised. The course was a little dry as it is going to be re-seeded next week but other than that it was great. Awesome greens that run fast and true. Maybe a little too fast for the average player but they provide a good test. The course is a little straight forward yet still challenging. I will definitely play here again.

There are several holes on this course that are both challenging and fun for seventy year olds.

Always had a great time playing there... a little dry before reseeding.. but still in great shape...

Honestly never would have expected such a fun golf course with very pretty scenery. I was very impressed greens are in good rolling condition although very slow. Fairways are nice and tight good tree lines, and large greens. The facility is excellent for all ranges of players.
