Tierra del Sol Golf Club

I have played this course several times, since I have a friend that lives in the area, therefore this review is not based solely on my May 31st experience. Pace of play is average for a course, and will depend on your group size and speed of the players more than the course. I have played the course between 4 hours and 5.5 hours once again depending on the group. Course conditions are inconsistent, where your lie may be poor but two inches in one direction would yield a proper lie. That being said the bunkers are consistently poor. The are usually very hard, my group usually compares them to concrete. As such, you will have to alter your bunker shots accordingly. Beyond the bunkers, at a price of $25 including cart, the value is very good for a practice course. Some of the holes are quite fun, and I wish the course would take better care of the bunkers, and even out the inconsistency in the conditions. Overall, if your in the area it is worth a play, but don't expect it to be something it is not. I do recommend a cart in the summer due to the summer heat.

California City is WAY out there. The course is good. Not difficult but can challenge you a little, especially the last few holes. It's a little patchy but overall the grass was pretty good. Not much play; 3 cars in the parking lot at 3pm on a Wednesday.

The layout of the track itself is really pretty cool with quite a few holes with water. The greens were in decent shape, quite fast and ran pretty true. Unfortunately, the rest of the course was in miserable condition. I had to drop out of "Ground under repair areas about 50% of the time. The bunkers were like concrete. And, the high desert wind affected several holes, making it unfriendly.
