Great layout, nice staff. Pace of play an issue.

Nice course. Good variety of tee boxes. Greens were in good shape. Facilities are very good. Staff is very helpful.

The issue I had is pace of play. They send off foursomes every 7 minutes. If you've marshaled before, you know that with that time interval, all you need are a couple of messes and the day is shot. No one was out of position and the marshall was out. There was no place to go.

Unless they fix they're tee times, I won't be back. Too slow. We teed off at 12 and wouldn't have finished.

Worth the drive . Great layout . Condition was a little sloppy from the rain a few days back. Tricky greens are a challenge.

Nice afternoon

Played at a good pace but checkin again was painfully slow. Line ups again in the pro shop to check in and once again had difficulty finding my reservation. Once checked in the day went smooth and the course played fine. My recomondation would be to arrive at least 1 hour early especially if you want to have time to warm up.

Another Local Favorite!

Played the South Course for my first time, the day before they began their overseeding. Course was still in excellent shape, with the majority of the fairways still quite green. A few dead spots, but again...reseeding tomorrow! Greens were in wonderful condition, and rolled extremely true. I still dream of a day where other golfers would repair their pitch marks.

Pace of play was wonderful, and a kind couple was courteous enough to allow me to play through as a solo.I was able to finish my round in 2:15. The Clubhouse staff was extremely friendly upon check-in. No poor treatment... as can be prevalent because of a GolfNow booking. Some places turn their noses up at you...definitely not the case here.

I will absolutely be back to enjoy the course in it's glory once the overseed has been completed. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon!

Pre Overseed Value

Nice layout with some challenging holes, lots of bunkers around the greens. Fairways are wide and slope to the middle, so a forgiving course off the tee.

Closing for overseed in a couple of days, so the fairways were spotty, but still enough grass to find a good lie.

Nice course for small money

The course condition was not excellent but for the money it was really OK.

The greens were in fine condition. Pace of play was excellent. As a twosome we needed a little more than 3 hours.

Fun course

Played in a lite rain which made the round fun and unusual. The course handled the rain well with only a few puddles. Would definitely play this course again only on a dry day next time.

Great Value

For the time of year this course was equal to most other desert courses.

Fairways were pretty dried out in some spots but the greens and tee boxes were in very good shape.

The price I got was highly discounted (expect it to be hot hot hot for twilight) but I finished my round in two and a half hours.so the heat didn't bother me that much. Drink lots of water.

Greens Hold

I read a recent review that stated the greens don't hold shots, Then I saw they were a 18 hdcp so that explained it. These greens accepted well stuck shots fine I repaired a half a dozen or more ball marks . This place is a must play for the money the greens are some of the best for summertime I'm sure they are gonna close soon for overseeding so hurry.

A good day

I've played this course before, but not in several months. The course is challenging but fair. The greens were very fast and not holding; it took a few holes to figure out how to keep the ball on the green! My playing partners experienced the same challenge. In addition, subtle breaks were present on several holes and we all suffered multiple lip-outs! Regardless, it was a good game, a fun day and I would play it again.

Still a Good Time

I have always like this course. There were about 3 holes that had serious fairway conditions. Lost of large areas on the fairway that were dirt with no grass. Other than that, it is fun there.

I know they will fix the grass problems. Summers are hot here.

Wait until overseeing to play

My wife and I really like this course. However, we played yesterday and the fairways were in abysmally bad shape. Frequently we found ourselves hitting shots from the middle of the fairway off of bare dirt. The greens were in excellent shape - faster than the 9 advertised in my opinion.

The staff here is great. Always friendly and helpful.

It was also a little annoying that we had a parade of antsy singles behind us insisting on playing through, but this isn't the golf course's fault.

I recommend trying tthis course, but wait until overseeding is complete in the fall.
