Good course
The course is in transition for the season, fairways are preparing of over seeding. However it’s still good for occasional players.

Desert Hills in the Summer
The rough was thick and the greens had been punched. The fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. Naturally the course was a little dry with temps well over 100 degrees. All in all it was better than expected for August in the desert. Definitely would play this course again when in Yuma and really look forward to playing here during the winter months.

Price was excellent!
The pace was awful on the back side. Groups were playing slow for some reason at the 13 hole. I felt the groups should have been further along. Instead of finishing at 115 I finished at 230. Some groups would not let me through as a single. 30 minutes to play a hole is bad.

This course is in great shape especially considering there has been very little rain this Winter. The greens are large and undulating and fast which makes them very challenging!
