Great course that needs to join the 21st century

The course is great. Played in 3 hours 35 minutes. The conditions were pristine in March. I liked the variability of the holes on the course and felt like I was using a lot of clubs in my bag.

My biggest frustration is the lack of technology. There's a QR code on the carts for a GPS system that you can use from your phone. It's a clunky interface, slow to load, difficult to read on the phone in bright and sunny conditions, drained my battery, and didn't include any help with green reading. They've got to get the greens mapped so Golf Logix, USGA GHIN, and other apps can share that information with golfers.

The USGA GHIN app worked for GPS on Cielo/Lagos but not for Vista, and there are a number of Desert Princess courses entered in the USGA GHIN app that don't work for GPS nor green reading.

I'm not saying that they need fancy GPS enabled carts, they just need to map the greens and clean up the information they're providing to these pre-existing golf GPS apps.

Great course close to airport too

Wonderfully maintained well managed course. I played cielo and Lagos mines. The 7 minute drive to Cielo through the neighborhood had me wondering what kind of a course I had gotten myself into. But the first couple holes out in the wash were kind of cool. Then you turn into the neighborhood. Lagos was very nice. Well laid out and greens and traps were in excellent shape. Not crazy long but long enough. Some water but not over the top or unfair.

Interesting layout with challenging greens

Course was in great condition. I liked the variety of some desert holes along with the ones surrounded by houses. Putting was a challenge if you got above the hole.

Unfortunately pace of play was far too slow on Lagos 9. They need a marshall to ask the non-golfer tourists to hurry up or step aside.

Unbelievably, restaurant shut at 5pm, so this slow play meant no food or drink after the round.

Great course, always try to play at least a couple of times when I'm over on vacation.

Front 9 (Lagos) was a little challenging with the strong breeze, just like home in Scotland, and dust. Back 9 cleared and wind dropped, so all good.

Scotsman abroad

First visit since early 2020. Out as a solo, which is fine. Played the Lagos as the front 9 in around 1 hour and 15 minutes..fantastic!

Vista as the back 9, but slowed after 4 holes by the pair in front.

Round in 3 hours, which in itself is ok, but could've been so much quicker had I managed to get waved through.

That said, I love this place, have played the course loads of times and it was in the best condition I've seen.

Beautifully conditioned. course

Great experience. Only problem is the condos/houses are at times so close to the fairways that it can feel a little claustrophobic..

We played with two long-hitting four or five handicap and we were both scratch golfers. Three houses were hit.! Course wasn’t beautiful condition though. And the restaurant was quite nice after.

Outstanding challenging golf average player

Great course, beautiful condition, a bit thin in scattered places, and challenging greens which rolled excellently.

Great tee options for players of mixed ability or higher handicappers.
