Classic Sarazen design

A desert classic designed by Gene Sarazen with some of the best placed bunkers I’ve ever seen. I found all sorts of sand lies, but all were navigable and easy enough to get out of. The clubhouse was under major remodel, so the amenities were sparse, but the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Great value.

Golfers with a Buddy

This was first time playing this course. It is a very short course. Only needed a driver on three or four holes. Greens were very fast. I was impressed with the Greens however the fairways are not in good shape

Nice quick round

The starter let our twosome go off the back. We played in under 3 hours. The course was in good shape, greens were medium for speed, tee boxes a little rough but playable. Short course but fun.

Walking Course

This is one of a few courses in the area which are built for walking. Get some exercise while you play! The greens are small and well tended, so the course may not be as easy for you as you might think. You can hit driver off the tee - the houses are generally set well back from the course. Go and enjoy.

Losing fairways after overseeding

Disappointing. Fairways and greens in good shape a week ago and now turning brown. They just opened in October after overseeding. Staff very friendly and courteous. Remodel of dining facility and pro shop in process so no food.

Everything is is great shape, except the course! Fairways and greens are dry and bumpy. But the bunkers were nice and sandy, the water fountains looked good, and they are doing some nice upgrades to the amenities. Unfortunately the course is very poor and the price does not reflect it.
