Understaffed and poorly maintained

Although I had my Golf Now confirmation , they had no record of my reservations. I booked the Palm course and they sent me out on the Valley course. The 4-some ahead of us was clueless. The divot repair bottles were “near empty” and the replacement rack at #10 tee was completely empty. Beautiful course and facility but poorly run.
