Great practice course

Had a blast playing here, worth every penny. Some of the rough can be very thick, greens were slow but played true and smooth. Can’t complain, for the money it’s worth it.

Good deal/course

Well designed course with a variety of holes, in good shape particularly for the time of year, few players so our mid-morning round only took just under 3 hours. Only negatives (minor), not explaining flags/locations prior to round and not being able to take cart into parking lot.

It'll test your putting

GC is long, open and there are more than enough trees to make it difficult. The fairways are typical of desert courses being green and short in the center and dry and hard in the rough (that's why they call it the rough). The greens are not oversized, but plenty of undulations and in very good shape. No matter how well you hit the ball its the greens where the strokes really are. I like this course for its length and challenge. One of the best values around.

Great course for Yuma

Great Public course that plays long, greens are in nice shape, speed was a little slow 8-9 but I think they may be leaving them a little long because of hot weather. Fairways are grassed but hard do lots of roll :). Price is just 15 if walking.

Real nice golf course

The greens are large and undulating making putting from easy to difficult depending on pin placement. The fairways are in pretty good shape but the rough needs work. I always enjoy playing here

Golf outing

Haven’t golfed this course in 10 years Generally it was in good shape but directions to tee boxes are non existent Each tee has signage but hard to tell how to get to it from last green After a little driving they were found

Was planning on hotdog to go after first nine but nobody knew in the bar area if hotdogs were available!
