The course is always in great shape compared to other local courses.
My only problem is booking a tee time on-line. The courses website shows all tee time as costing $1001.00 and it doesn't show what tee times are available. This is a minor thing but the site has been like this for years.

Golf between dove hunting
The course was incredibly well-maintained and designed. We ran into a dust storm while playing so we only played nine holes, but that wasn't the course's fault. Other than that I was very impressed with the course and would play it again whenever I come to Yuma.

Expected hot.
It was slow, only because we had a slow threesome in front of us. Never waved us through, but they were friendly. It was super hot, but I expected it (105 degrees),

Desert Hills
Golf course was in decent shape. Greens were nice for the most part. Some rough fairways. Pace of play was decent. I would like to see a water station or something to fill a water bottle on the course. Staff was extremely friendly. Great deal for the price!

Good pace
The pace is good since the winter visitors are home and the temperature is up; when most people hides and the locals are out on fast paced play.
