Challenging Par 3

Best par3 I’ve ever played. Beautiful layout, great condition and quite challenging, especially on the back 9. Several holes over 200 yards. Staff were so very friendly. Special shoutout to Kasen, who always takes great care of us and really goes the extra mile. Will definitely be back!

Beyond Expectations

Absolutely loved this course. I was nervous when the guy I got paired with said I’d need a couple boxes of balls because of all the water. I ended up only losing one ball to the water. It was a ton of fun and in fantastic shape. Will be back.

Over-seeding

As Desert Rats we all know that overseeding is a requirement - a necessary evil. But I wish the Courses could be more transparent about this process and what the course conditions were like. The course was going into overseeding but the greens were very quic, very playable and we still had a lot of fun. But it would have been nice to know that the course was completely brown and two days from going into overseeding.

Impossible pin placements

The course was brown, the guy who places the pins was mad. The pins were in the hills it has an impact on the pace of play who was terrible.

Great short course

Played it 3 times in the last 10 days.

Bring extra golf balls. You might lose a few due to water hazards.vi

Nice course. Not green yet. The amount of ants is staggering though. Would be a hard course for a beginner. Enjoyed our round.

Getting ready for overseeding

The course was dry because it was getting ready for overseeding. Still a fun track! Lightning fast greens. The restaurant was closed also I’m sure because they were getting ready to close. I’m sure I would give 5 star overall when they reopen.

Conditions

Course not as green as usual but a lot of fun playing it. Green’s were outstanding for speed, reminds me of College days and mini Tours. This course is a must to play to improve your short game skills. I usually toss a coin to determine what tees to play, Complements to course staff.

Disappointing and frustrating round

Left after 12 holes. The course was in extremely poor condition, very dry with patchy greens. We could have put up with the poor conditions but waiting on every hole 10 mins or longer was unbearable.

Worst experience in the desert so far

Firstly the north is a par3, no mention of that prior to the game.

Secondly, teamed up with 2 horrible members who frankly were the worst people you could imagine.

Thirdly, had trouble getting out, nobody told us you need to get a special code to get out of the gates, and believe me, we were really ready to leave.

Will never be back.
