Quality overall less than average for an Arizona
Golf Course. Most ratings are comparing other courses in town. When compared with other Arizina Clubs in their price range, they fall a little short.

So Close...
Fairways and greens in good shape. Improvements to sand traps evident, though to much water still pooling from irrigation system. Too many potholes at each teebox departure remain unfixed. Stunning facility requires some time and attention to regain #1 golf destination in Yuma. Will review club house dining soon. Cheers!

Pace of Play
The course is in great shape but they cram so many people on the course at once to squeeze every dollar they can out of the city that it ruins the whole experience.

Challenging
Fairways and greens in good shape. Sandtraps are hard with occasional puddles in the bottom, especially near greens. Fairway on hole 10 was under repair. Otherwise good overall.

Long Par 4s into the wind
Course was in good condition but there are several medium length Par 4s that play really long into a headwind. Love the design and layout of this course.
