Great Layout

While the course is in a residential complex, you would have to hit an outrageously bad shot to wind up off the course. Overall, this course has a nice layout, fits the eye, well trapped and undulating greens that are always in good shape. It can get a little brown in the summer months but you always have a good lie on the fairways. The traps, and there are plenty are challenging but always raked and in good condition. It is a good walking course although I have not tried it myself, nor have I seen anyone else walk. With four sets of tees, the course will accommodate all levels of play. The pace of play is usually good with many experienced golfers using the course. It can be slow in the prime months, especially in the afternoon when there are more casual players on the course.

Over rated

It’s a 3 star course that GolfNow showed as 4.5 stars. Have to guess all the residents voted it 5 stars to get revenue up to keep their cost down. Nothing special as most courses have similar Mountain View’s.

Great day!

Started w a friendly greeting and a purchase by our wives with a great sale at the pro shop. Balls were ready for us at the driving range and on the putting green. Tee off was on time and pace was fine. Fairways have loads of bunkers and water hazards but are quite wide (on most holes). Qe had a great game and will definitely play again. Prices are up at all the courses this year and we were pleased that we got a decent price with a Golf Now hot deal.

Good Value

W booked on Hot Deals on golf now so the price was right. The course is in fairly good condition but not all fairways are cut the same. Some are very good others are cut too short. Some of the greens are very good but others have a lot of balls marks. Tee boxes are much the same some good some beat up.

There are houses that line the course and we noticed a few balls balls in yards. We tried a few of the sand traps out, and there are lots, and they are good. We had an early start and finished in under 4 hours.

I liked all aspects of your golf course especially the employees. My only real problem with the day was on the first part three we got to we had to wait over a half an hour to T Off. From that point on play was extremely slow . We teed off at 3 o’clock and only managed to play 13 holes before it got dark. I will be back to play a course one more time ,Hopefully the pace of play will improve.

Letdown

I’ve played this course many times in the past and it is always been in fabulous condition and a good value for the dollar. Recently we had torrential down pour in the Coachella Valley resulting in massive flooding. The course today was recovering from those floods and not in good shape. Green fees to the public should have offered at a reduced rate.

2 hours 50 min to play nine holes in a pretty wide open resort-ish course

The course was in excellent condition, a typical resort-ish layout. We ate lunch before we warmed up, the restaurant facilities were very nice, it had an attractive lunch menu. the food was very good and the service was excellent. The range was great, spacious, good grass, fresh golf balls. The problem was it took us 2hr 50min to play the front nine on a wide open golf course. We asked at the shop when we arrived more than an hour early if we could expect to finish 18 holes with a 1:24 tee time. He said it was full but they also had a shotgun start in the morning so the couse had a fresh start with late morning tee times so we should have a chance to finish before dark. We saw a guy driving the golf course on the 7th hole (two hours had passed) and he told us that someone was slow six or seven groups ahead of us. He apologized for having to pay a full green fee when clearly there was no chance to get close to finishing. He said that there were a lot of players out today since it was such a nice day. Even the group ahead of us fell a full hole behind but without a marshall it was getting worse. We quit after playing 9 holes, it looked like the best we could hope for was to get thru 11 or 12 holes at dark instead of 17 or 18 when we started. Very disappointed. We might return in the future but obviously would play with an earlier time.

Rain out

Believe it or not but it rained in the desert.

We played 6 holes and only got a 9 HOLE “rain check “.

Not a good first impression.
