First Time Playing

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.

First Time in Shadow Hills

I found the course interesting and challenging

despite the lack of elevation changes.

I felt it was in a little bit rough of shape considering how early into the season it is. The

greens could use more grass as they were sparse.

I do want to commend the friendly pro-shop staff and starter.

Last round of the day

My wife and I have played here before but not for a few years. We had the last tee time of the day on Christmas eve. Pace of play was a bit slow but not terrible. The course was in excellent shape and getting a Hot Deal on the round made it reasonable. Good course. I’d play there again.

Toughest greens in the desert

Course was a little too wet for this time of year, actually had a couple mud balls in fairway. The greens are very undulating and several pins were in impossible locations. I thought we were playing a pro am or a member guest tournament.

A really nice course

Always a good experience playing this course. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition, pace of play was good (cart path only, so a little slower than usual), and staff were superb. Only thing missing was a beverage cart.

Great course, great round.

We played in a shotgun format on a Wednesday at 12:30. Couple we were paired with were great as was the pace of play. Course was recently reseeded so it was cart path only but that didn’t take away from the round. Greens were a little slower than I like but considering the time of year they were fine.
