Very slow

Try to play early in the morning or late afternoon or you will be waiting to hit every shot. Took almost 5 hours to play 15 holes.

course crowded

The play was a bit slow because ot the number of groups over 4 were slow. Some groups had from 5 to 7 playing. That had a tendency to slow the play quite a bit.

Golf in Yuma

Desert Hills in Yuma provided a great day of golf for my friends and I. We enjoyed the course. It was busy so play was a bit slow but we didn’t mind. First time in Yuma area and was happy to find such a nice course.

5 and half hours to play 18 was crazy. Their loading the course so bad that it takes the price and fun out of it. Will try one more time to determine a one off or the norm.

Good course

It was a good course. However, the pace of play was very slow. There was a marshal out there and he really didn’t do anything.

Single

Unfortunately was grouped with 3 good drinkers but poor golfers. The disadvantage of being a single. Course was good but group not so much.

Great condition, super nice greens.

Goos course. Stay in the fairways though cause the roughs are very dry and not alot if vegetation. Greens were very good. Speedy and true. Some 5 some on the course slowed things up a bit.

Would play again

Could have been better!

Fairways, tees and greens in good shape. Course was challenging for this old guy. They wouldn't let me have my own cart, but assured me when I asked that everything was safe. I am not sure how they know that. So I rode around on a cart with a stranger. Certainly not social distancing. I guess I should have gone home if I was really concerned but the round was prepaid and I didn't expect that uncaring response at a city golf course. For shame. So as enjoyable as the golf was, I'll likely not go back.
