Desert Island Round

Old Desert Course
Not a bad track for a 50 year plus desert course. They’ve extended the yardage by placing black tee boxes back on most holes, sometimes a little to close to the previous green. Apart from that, a decent value for money course. Really friendly staff, no food readily available at the turn was my one big complaint. Pace of play, under 4 hours for our 4 ball Saturday afternoon. All in all, value for money, there’s better in the desert, but there’s way worse too.

Course exceeds expectations.
2nd times the charm. 1st time
was great, but took some time to get a lay of the land. This 2nd time on, outstanding. Fairways, greens and bunkers(I hit only one) were in superb condition. Fabulous scenery, right amount of water hazards and some excellent opportunities to choose my shots wisely. Staff were courteous, friendly and not patronizing. Stayed for drinks at their outdoor bar. Overall this is a gem!! I’ll be back many many more times. Kevin W from Canada.
