I like that they are leaving some grass on the fairways. They used to cut the fairways like the greens. Much more enjoyable now.

I enjoyed playing the course much more since the fairways are mowed higher. They used to mow them like the greens. Overall our rounds this year are very enjoyable.

Great golf course

From arrival, greeted by the starter,, bag on the cart and on the 1st tee in about 10 minutes. Playing as a single, I never caught up with a group in front of me until about the 14th hole. The layout was great, wide fairways, fast greens. Post round Beer and a Burger was filling and tasty. For winter golf in the Phoenix area (30 minutes) this track was well worth the money. Less than $80 on Golf now, midweek mid morning!! Well play this one again!
