Real Nice Day!

We had a real nice day at Desert Hills. Not much interaction with staff but noticed Marshall doing little but picking balls out of pond. Course was busy but pace of play was OK. Fairways good and greens are recovering (slowly) but still not up to par. I will definitely play here again.

Course is in best condition of all courses in Yuma. Disappointing how bad most Yuma courses are for the greens fees they charge. Supply/ demand on full display.

Really crummy

No rough= hardpan. The greens were really ugly / almost looked dead. Don’t bother bringing a wedge because you can’t take a divet. I’ve played this course for 20 years and this is the worst condition yet. We were a threesome being held up by a foursome with 3 open hole in front of them finally went around them. I won’t be back anytime soon

Greens lack grass

Course is OK but greens obviously are lacking grass and hard as rock. Obviously the overseed could have been better

Course is greening up nicely

Played this for the second time. Wasn’t blown away the first time late October but now that the grass has greened upped and filled in it was fun to play.

Cold Windy day

It was a cool windy day, the flags were put in the most difficult parts of all the greens which made it very difficult for all levels of players, the greens were lightning fast , there were 4 inexperienced golfers in front of us with 3 sets of clubs that were terribly slow, they were all over the course, they need a marshal for groups like this. All in all not a bad day though, we did get to go golfing.

Nice course

I played this course every Wednesday with a group of guys and we always have a great time. The pin placements are some of the hardest I have ever seen.
