Decent

We were informed by the starter as we were about to tee off that it was the second day that the course was open and that carts were cart path only. Personally I don't mind the extra walking, depsite the fact fairways are wide amd cart paths are not close to where you would want your ball to end up. However, I really dislike not having the right club, and what it does to pace of play. This was not disclosed at booking or at checking in. We would have booked somewhere else had we known.

The course itself is nice, can be forgiving, and is well maintained. Will likely play again when carts have full roam.

Played last day before reseeding

Played on the last day before the course was to be shut down for reseeding. Definitely needed it. Greens were hard and dry. Half the course was very dry. Layout was ok. Very gettable course, but was not satisfied with the course for how much I payed. Drives would leave me with a LW in, but lie would be on a dry, hard, patch of fairway. Not gonna lie. Felt a little ripped off. DW down the street was a much better course for the price. Staff was great, very welcoming and friendly. Range employee deserves a raise!

Great layout - great conditions

Despite getting the course ready for overseeding, the greens and fairways were in great shape. All in all a great outing and will definitely return.

Fun Course

A fun course to play but pace of play can get bogged down. There's Marshalls but they don't real push people.

A Good Value Course

I rank this as a “B” category course compared to other desert courses I have played over 50 years. That shouldn’t be regarded as a negative because I am a tough grader. I give it an “A” for value when comparing its green fees with the others.

Slow play

The course is in good condition for this time of year. Pace of play was slow even with a Marshall, although it didn't seem like he was pushing anyone to speed up pace of play.

Great value

We enjoyed our first time around this track. Forgiving, yet challenging. We had some windy conditions for our round, but the course held up nicely. Definitely would come back to play again.

Beautiful golf course

The course has a great and varied layout. It was in very good condition and is definitely worth a recommendation. Value for money is almost unbearable.
