open track with challenging greens

I played from the white tees 6300 yd. The course is pretty wide open so you can get away with spraying the ball a bit but it plays long and the greens are hilly and cut to a good speed. I really liked the sand as it was easy to get out of. I played as a single at 8:15 am on a Monday and I was finished by 11 with only having to play thru 2 groups. I'd most definitely go back to this fun track kept in good shape.

The course has many challenging holes.

My wife and I had a great time playing the course. We were paired up with 3 women and they were very cordial. One of them had played the course many times and was very helpful. There were several holes where there were blind shots to the landing areas. The greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. We will try to book a tee time there again.

Fun course to play

This course is in far better condition then any other one we have played in Yuma. Fun course with some challenging hole as well as easy holes. Hole # three has a very narrow fairway with water on the right (hate this hole), so be ware. There is a little snack shop in the middle that services both front and back nine and the have great burgers and brats.

Fun course

We enjoyed the elevation changes. Since it was the first time we'd played the course, the blind shots were a bit of problem.

Have always enjoyed playing there

Course is in very good shape. I have played here over the years and always find the fairways are nice and the greens are fast and tricky. If you miss them in the wrong spot, it will cost you strokes.

Greens are great

Excellent greens that will challenge anyone. Overall the course was in great condition. Golf carts are sounding like they are in need of repair but had no problems with them. Each hole is different which is enjoyable. Take an extra club or two hitting onto the elevated greens. Have played this course many times. Starter got us earlier which was super.
