Beautiful Golf Day

Booked my tee time through Golf Now, it was very easy & the course was in really nice condition. The greens were pretty slow had trouble hitting the ball hard enough to get it to the hole. Over all great day.

The course is always in great shape compared to other local courses.

My only problem is booking a tee time on-line. The courses website shows all tee time as costing $1001.00 and it doesn't show what tee times are available. This is a minor thing but the site has been like this for years.

Golf between dove hunting

The course was incredibly well-maintained and designed. We ran into a dust storm while playing so we only played nine holes, but that wasn't the course's fault. Other than that I was very impressed with the course and would play it again whenever I come to Yuma.

Expected hot.

It was slow, only because we had a slow threesome in front of us. Never waved us through, but they were friendly. It was super hot, but I expected it (105 degrees),

Desert Hills

Golf course was in decent shape. Greens were nice for the most part. Some rough fairways. Pace of play was decent. I would like to see a water station or something to fill a water bottle on the course. Staff was extremely friendly. Great deal for the price!

Good pace

The pace is good since the winter visitors are home and the temperature is up; when most people hides and the locals are out on fast paced play.
