Played on Sept 1st - course was in excellent condition. They use reclaimed water, so the course had been well watered. Greens were pretty good, especially for this time of year.

Marshall and Pro shop Staff

Course marshal was most helpful when we we're looking to get some ice and water Specific directions to help us get hydrated in our summer heat. We went to wrong clubhouse tobstart and staff was most helpful to help us. No comments about being a lost golfer. Plus a big bottle of water to start us out. Will book again using Golf Now

Fun Course

Great course! Wide open with the occasional water hazard. Supreme friendly staff. Got the chance to experience the deserts 20 mph winds, made the tee shots very interesting. Highly recommend.

Just a note, the Santa Rosa course is closer to the gate entrance and the San Giorgino is further back.

Hidden gem

Played this course for $30 on Sat 5/9 at 12:00. Nobody in front of me and finished in about 3 1/2 hours. Not one browned out area on the whole course. They seem to use recycled water and are able to keep up the irrigation. Fairways, rough and tee boxes were in perfect condition.Bunkers full of course sand like many other desert courses.

While the fairways are very wide, many holes have sharp doglegs which introduce trouble. Very few fairway bunkers but greens are surrounded and many are elevated which puts the short game at a premium.

This is not a course thast beats you up but isjust a p-leasure to play. It is not extremely hard but is not a pushover. Doglegs and features around the greens present challenges. The green, green grass makes the afternoon pleasant.

Beautiful Fairways

While the fairways and water features are fantastic the greens needsome TLC.
Many ballmarks unrepaired and traps unraked. The starter was not very welcoming but other staff were great.

Nice surprise

We've been playing golf in the desert for years but this was our first time playing Mountain Vista. We really enjoyed ourselves. Nice track, challenging but not over the top difficult. We'll be back.

Otherwise a lovely course

Perfect for Camels

Good conditions on a course that is not overly difficult, although you are always laying around houses. For some strange reason, the club really skimps on the drinking water. TAKE WATER. For a desert course, it is astounding that there is only water available in one location where the 5th and 13 tees cross, so you play 9 holes (5 thru 13) without water. It was 95 degrees.

Beautiful day, Beautiful course

Had a 6:50am tee time so the course was a bit wet, but it was in beautiful condition (everything had been well overseeded) and it was a gorgeous day. The pace of play was excellent - we felt no pressure either from behind or in front (we were the first group to start for the day). The course is sufficiently wide to reduce the risk of hitting the surrounding homes. I highly recommend Mountain Vista.

Early Bird

2nd group to tee off and we were able to play in 3 hours. Course was in great shape. Greens were rolling very true and pretty quick. Range wasn't open for us early in the morning so that was a bummer. No drink cups at the water filling stations and no drink cart left us thirsty. there is a bit more room inbetween all the houses compared to Sun City Shadow Hills.

Very lush course

Course was in excellent condition. It is in a housing development and houses can come into play.
Golf shop facilities were poor and staff was neither friendly nor informative. Construction had parking and bag drop well away from proshop. Cost was a little high for the lack of amenities.
