Wonderful Day

Course was in good shape, a few shaggy lies in fairways. Greens were extremely slow. I mean extremely slow. I don’t think they weee cut that morning.

You have to keep your head up as some fairways are back and forth and balls will enter your fairway from the other tee boxes.

Clubhouse under full renovation but outside amenities were very good.

Over all it was average - good oka

More difficult than you think

With most greens guarded by sand bunkers you have to be very accurate with the approach shot. Very nice scenery to look at around the course. Some beautiful water features, palm trees and mountains in the background. This makes you forget about the wayward shots and enjoy the awesome desert. Course was in decent shape, but greens are very slow. The fairways are very close to each other and occasionally balls come flying from other fairways. Also, the cart paths are hard to find around the greens and you end up going up the wrong side of the green to the next hole. Could use better signage.

The course a few years ago was in great shape but now it is too dry. But I love the layout and if you guys green it up I will play it again and recommend it to others.

Shadow mountain

Small yet challenging course. I've played this course dozens of times and will continue to come back. Nice staff as well. This course would be even nicer if the golfers would fix their divots and ball marks more often and the course would last a lot longer in terms of its condition.

A couple from Vancouver was waiting to tee off. The 3 some never showed up.

Ended up playing with them.

Very nice course

This is a great course for “normal” golfers. It wouldn’t be a challenge for scratch golfers but it’s definitely a great course for us double digit handicappers

Cramped quarters

I have to say a little disappointed with signage and cart paths around tee boxes. We were lucky to not have a full tee sheet. Tight maneuvering around some tees with no place to park But the play was great. Wide open fairways and each green is protected by water or sand.

Ghetto Mountain

This course should cost $40. There’s no starter and the local golfers seem to think they can do whatever they want and I had to skip the first hole so they could play when they wanted not when their tee time was.

Every hole under construction and the staff is playing rap music while you play. It’s basically a municipal course and Gene Saracen would roll over in his grave if he was there today.

Average for the money

This will eventually be a good golf location but there are a number of renovations being completed to the clubhouse and also on the course. Once these are completed it will be a better value for the money.

Played with 3 good guys

Went out as single between 2 threesomes . Not sure why they didn't put me with one of those groups but I caught up with group.in front of me right away and joined them. Enjoyed there company but the course is under some construction with tractors and trucks parked all over the place. I don't usually give negative reviews but this course is short boring and far from my favorite. Will pass next time 20 dollar course for 85 bucks no thanks
