Fun course grumpy staff

The staff won’t help you much on the pro shop side. They seem like you’re bugging them. The girls by the food and beer were nice. Such a fun course and nice bathrooms.

Pace of play

This is a great course that could use a marshal. We played the front in 1 hour and 15 minutes and the back took almost 3 hours because as we made the turn a group of 5 and another group of 4 jumped in front of us.

This happens often on this course because there is no clear effort made to control where people start. In addition people at this course do not wait even when the course is stacked up. I like to play here I just wish there was a way to control the flow better.

Could be a great course!

Layout, pace of play and playability is good for all levels. Most bunkers were just rocks and significant bird droppings on most holes and greens. Constantly stepping in it and having to putt through it. If they could remedy those two things, it would be a great value.

Great round, great day

Not quite an executive course, not full sized. Good challenges, used every club in my bag. Greens were fast and rolled well. Bring a low bounce sand wedge you are not fond of, there are hidden stones in the hard packed bunkers.

punched and sanded greens

I called the course on Oct2 to check the course conditions as i commute from palm desert. The pro shop employee told me all three courses will be punched and sanded by wed,Oct4. I have no idea how attentive the course workers are in getting the greens playable. This alert is for anyone thinking of playing so you don't show up and get upset that the greens are sanded. Great course for only having par 3 and par4.

Winner

Short game course, but everything was in excellent condition. 3 nine hole choices with some excellent over the water par 3s, No par 5s, but the condition more than makes up for it. Today the greens were almost perfect.

Meh!

Course was in pretty good shape. Really wish someone would have told me about the sanded greens. Bunkers are disappointing, they are rocky, course should just make them grass bunkers.

Birch

Great course for the most part, they had recently arriated the final 3 holes on Birch, leaving the fairways with layers of grass plugs. Still a great outing and worth the money for some Liesure time golfing eith my son.

A Del of a course

Although this course is not a long course, the Del Webb design and layout challenges you to make good club selections as you balance the benefits of good ball position versus going for distance.

I actually liked the way the traps were positioned, as well as, the numerous pond/lakes that adorn the course and challenges you more than you would think for a desert course. My wife actually liked all the giant fish in the lakes.

My biggest complaint would be the lack of coarse markings or a GPS system on the cart to help with distance, and I consider myself someone who plays a lot by feel and does not rely a lot on modern technology. That said, perhaps there were some books that would've given the distances to various hazards.

All in all, I would definitely play there again and really enjoyed the time out on the course even in 99° weather… was a dry heat… LOL.

Wow, now worse course in High Desert

I have played this course since it opened and was shocked at how this course looked when I played it. I heard they have new ownership and they let it go. Brown fairways, bunkers haven't been maintained in months and greens are yellow and dirt is showing. It is absolutely embarrassing. I always bragged about how well they maintained the course and how it was always one of the best in the high desert. They raised the rates and the course is now the worst. I will not be playing the course until they maintain the course. Wow, how disappointing. My dad told me the new ownership bought a course in San Diego and they let that course go as well. He called it!

Also would like to clarify change in management and not ownership. Your support of Ashwood is important to us. Please call 760.240.1800 ext. 5 or e-mail jlake@troon.com at your convenience.

Thank you,
