Great Shorter 18-Hole course

Glad I found this! Had 830am Sunday tee time, but was able to head out about 15-20min early. Super friendly starter, Henry, suggested we go off Hole 10 with nobody in front or behind, so pace was great. Only paired with another single golfer. Both carts. Fairways are a bit tight with adjacent fairways and homes along some holes. Overall, not the longest course, about 5375yds max from Blues. Greens in good shape, firm and seemed to roll smooth and fast, but then die quickly near hole. Seemed like quite a few green side bunkers with decent soft sand. Good condition fairways, rough, and bunkers. Greens seemed mostly good also. Whole round was 1:30 front and 2:05 back (holes 1-9). Very fun-looking full 18-hole huge putting green called “The Flamingo” that you can play for free if you are playing a round. Next time I’ll plan more time. I’ll play this again. Thanks!

Great find

Played the Monday after Stagecoach weekend. Course is a little short for “real players”, but there are several solid par 3 and 4 holes.

Layout is a little claustrophobic, but there is a little room to miss. Greens were a little slow leading to some “right in the jar” but a few inches short putts. Fairways were in great shape. Bunker sand was a little inconsistent. Staff were all very friendly. Vine is cool with a tropical flair.

Great value with good pace of play. Recommended is you are looking for a good shorter course.

Good track spoiled by poor rental clubs

The green fee value was decent but they assured me by phone that they had reasonable rental clubs. They did not. A mismatched set of dated clubs in poor shape ruined the round.

How did we never play here before?

One of the oldest course, yet in 25 years, we've never been here. That will change. Other than a great short course, the shining light is Chris, in the pro shop. What a perfect host. Do not lose him!

A Gem

First time playing here and was pleasantly surprised at how immaculate this course was. Saw a map on google maps and it looked dried up, but was surprised at how everything was so green.

This is a perfect place to play with your wife. it is an executive course and is perfect for a relaxing round. Also, the fairways are lined up with mid century homes and it really gives you that Palm Springs vibe.

will definitely play here again.

Nice older course.

Course was a little slower in the afternoon. My wife and i did a nine and dine (happy hour), and it was very good.Good pours for the wine, and food was good too. Definitely would recommend for others for a leisure round.
