The staff was very friendly. It was low season, so they allowed start when you were ready and the tee was open. The price for an early tee time was excellent. The pace of play was better than most in the valley.

the greens were over grown, very slow and cups were also overgrown.
The course shape was like something I would expect in a low income neighborhood. The slowest greens anywhere, overgrown!

Fun course, but kinda boring
First time playing here. course conditions were really good. The putting greens were almost perfect. With a early morning tee time pace was great. The course is flat, no hills or elevated tee boxes, which kinda makes the course boring. There is a large man made lake in the center that incorporates a few of the holes. But other then that, just a flat course with a few dog legs. I know this is a minor complaint to most, but to me it’s extremely irritating when there is no cart girl or restaurant/bar to get drinks and food from.

Paradise of golf.
By far the best golf experience ever. From the moment on arrival where I was catered to my cart to giving me a discount when they had the ability not to offer. Absolutely outstanding staff and extremely perfect conditions of fairways. Only downfall was hole 17 the green was under construction but overall 11/10.
