Yuma golf

Although tight the golf was actually quite good. Greens in pretty good shape and fairways to be expected for this dry area. Great value.

Played this course numerous times. Always have to call the Desert Hills Championship course ahead of time to let them know carts are needed. Disappointed as there was only one cart there for our foursome even though we booked them 2 days beforehand. Two players had to walk and carry clubs until another cart came in, at which time 2 players had to drive back to hole 1 to pick up the cart. Frustrating. There was also two groups ahead of us. One group had 5 players, the other group had 6 players, so play was quite slow.

Greens in good condition. Tee boxes in average condition

Enjoy working on my short game on this course. Did not have a power cart. Had to wait for them to bring over cart from championship course.
