Very Slow.
Pace of play is extremely slow .
Course needs ball washers and some benches. When you play this course you can wait for two to three groups on all of the pat threes. Not a bench to be seen.
PUT OUT SOME BENCHES!!!!!!!!

Good value
Only 4 stars due to no ball washers on this course. Pace of play is horribly slow the first time I played. Slightly better the second time. Course marshal was out but at 2 PM the slow pace has already been established from earlier in the day. Course is in the best shape of all the courses in Yuma. Great job to the grounds crew.
Woman behind the counter in the pro shop not happy that I wanted my own golf cart. Remembering there is still COVID ripping around and with a compromised immune system I can not take the chance.
Other than slow play a great day.
