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.

Happy Golfer

What a great day. From the easy to follow signs for bag drop and pro shop to the fantastic friendly staff. Definitely among the best service I have ever received. Course was in great shape especially considering the recent weather issues. Course was medium challenging for a 10 handicap who plays almost all of his golf from medium tees (Gold/Silver Combo here).
