Played 8/28 as a foursome. Carts are electric, had ice buckets and GPS. Tee boxes mostly good, fairways not bad for summer, rough can be hard to find wayward balls, bunkers have sand but was wet due to recent rain, greens good but slow due to rain. Staff was pleasant. Did not use driving range. Beverage cart was around a few times. Filtered water at the restroom stops. Had lunch at Mulligan’s, nothing to brag about food wise there but the service was good. The course track is great for intermediate golfers!

Played on 7/28, not paired with anyone. Very few people playing. Course not in the best shape. Only slightly better greens since last time we played. Lots of dirt patches in the fairways, about half the tee boxes had nice grass, and bunkers rarely have sand. Greens were slightly long grass so they were slow. Minimal staff due to summer slowing but were nice. Hoping if/when monsoon rains arrive this will improve the conditions.

Played on 6/20, not paired. Front nine went slow but after the turn it slowed a lot. Saw 8 guys on the green that were in front of the twosome in front of us! We were wondering why we had to wait at almost every tee box. Did not see any marshals so called the pro shop to let them know. Saw the marshal shortly after then pace of play picked up but it was a 5hr round. Golfers need to be reminded to fill divots and fix marks ball marks. This course is in great condition and enough of a challenge.

Played on 6/18, not paired. Rainy day but not enough to not play. Course in great condition! Golfers need to be more involved in filling divots, fixing marks on the greens, picking up garbage, and run the rake in the bunker after hitting. Pace of play perfect. No beverage cart but a little stopping spot after the 9th under the pro shop. Staff has always been great! Course is enough of a challenge with multiple tee boxes and then the beautiful scenery makes for a great round!

We really like this course! Staff is great, course in excellent condition! It has just enough challenge to it without becoming frustrated! Carts do not have coolers, ball/club washers, or GPS. There are clean portajohns out there. Highly recommend!

Played Sundance last year and then the Torch this year. Mostly great conditions except some tee boxes need fixing up. They were fixing some areas and grinding stumps in others. This is not an easy course but is nice compared to the desert courses we play. The staff is very nice! Love Michigan golf! Greens were a little slow, bunkers mostly sand, fairways nice! No coolers or ball washers on the cart.

Played on 5/17, paired with two younger guys. Seemed the pace was a little slow but they just finished a tournament. Unfortunately seeing so much hard pack and dead grass and something is going on with the greens. Seems to have a disease or some type of parasitic growth. Bunkers are just dirt and pebbles and some golfers do not rake. Noticed quite a few a bit of sunflower shells on the greens and garbage here and there. Hopefully the team will get on top of all this but we will be reluctant to return.

Played on 5/15. Snowbirds are gone now so the course is mostly wide open. Pretty much not paired up unless you booked for three or four. Started on the 10th, was told maintenance on front nine being done. Some tee boxes are sand/dirt and hard, fairways are fair but drying out with patches of dead hard pack, and a few greens have something growing in them that’s causing patches of dead grass. Had a foursome in front that were hitting multiple balls as if they were the only group playing so that slowed the pace so we went around and skipped to next hole, finished and went back to the hole we skipped and they still weren’t done. Some garbage around. We will play again but hoping the maintenance catches up!

Played on 4/23, paired with another couple, very nice! Most tee boxes okay, fairways okay, greens slow(need mowed shorter), and some bunkers have sand. Lots of surrounding desert so you may need to just not go looking for your ball because it’s rattlesnake time of year! Carts are gas powered, have coolers, and they put 2 waters in for you and there’s plenty of water coolers on the course. Pace of play was normal. There are practice areas ie range, chip, putt. Staff was nice, came out to parking lot and picked up golf bag! Great views and Pete Dye design so elevated everything, undulating fairways, rolling greens! Beverage cart around.

Two of us played on 4/15, not paired with anyone. Hardly any golfers midday tee time. Course overall still in good shape. Majority of tee boxes good, fairways good although some drying out and dead patches have showed up. Also noted little ponds around the irrigation lids, maybe leaking? Greens were pretty good with challenging pin placements. Bunkers are still dried dirt and pebbles, highly recommend getting these filled with sand! No beverage cart today. Staff was very nice inside. We love this course so hopefully it stays nice!

Played on 4/6. Carts have no coolers or ball/club washers or GPS. Paired with two nice gentlemen and they were fun. This course has no bunkers, filled in with longer turf. It’s mostly flat with lots of desert and hard pack. Nice views. Took 5 hours to play, no marshal or beverage cart. Probably won’t play again.

Played on 3/23, shotgun starts have stopped now. Paired with two nice gentlemen. Some of the white tee boxes need some work, fairways and greens in good shape, bunkers need sand. Pace of play 5hrs, maybe spread tee times out a bit? Beverage cart was around, staff was very nice! We like playing this course!

Played on 3/19, shotgun start at 1pm. Paired with two very fun gentlemen. Most tee boxes in good shape, white marker boxes need some help. Fairways had excellent turf, rough is a mix of grass and hard pack, greens were very fast and mostly in good shape, bunkers still need more sand. Pace of play was just a tad slow but then it was a great day and we all were having fun-played in 4hrs. We like this course because it’s fair value and right now it’s in really good shape. Beverage cart came around, inside/outside staff very nice.

Played on 3/17 afternoon. Started out just the two of us then paired with a single gentleman. Some tee boxes need a lot of repair, the fairways mostly good, bunkers need sand, and greens were ok. Golfers need to fix their divots! Pin placement was awful with locations on the greens never used before! Pace of play perfect. Beverage cart came around. Staff was very nice! Seems to be in better shape right now.

Played this course before and it’s not impressive unfortunately. Most tee boxes okay, some sandy and hard. Fairways mostly spray painted green(way to conserve and not overseed) and hard pack. There are a lot of tee shots that have to go over dirt to get to the fairway. The greens were fairly decent but fast. The bunkers actually had great sand in them. Lots of golfers hitting into your fairway so you had to watch out and take time to find your ball(maybe use colored ones). Would like to see trash picked up when marshals are driving around. The staff was nice. Carts have ball/club washers but no coolers. Beverage cart came around a few times. Pace of play 4hrs. Paired with a couple of nice guys. Basically worked on golf skills on this course.

Played on 2/6/2025, shotgun start at 1pm. Paired with two nice gentlemen and completed the round in just over 4hrs. The course is decent but definitely drying out a bit. Pin placement was brutal and greens were a bit fast but good condition! Bunkers are still mostly dirt and pebbles. The course gives you forgiveness and quite a few slight off fairway hits will roll to your favor onto the fairway, yay! If you don’t like shotgun starts then you’ll need to go elsewhere but it’s okay for us! Staff are friendly mostly and the beverage cart did come around.

Played 1/27/2025, second time on this course. Not busy at our tee time of 12:30. Hit a few range balls to warm up(included in fee), got a new cart this time-no ball/club washer and smaller cooler. The parking brake never worked as it seems most of them don’t. Get an older cart, better equipped. Everything very good, they sprayed the weeds and there are some patchy areas on the fairways but not many! Main complaint on all the courses we played is they are all very nice except for the trash! If you’re going to be golf destination you must pick up the trash!

Played 1/24/2025, 2nd round-Hacienda & Arrecife. First time round played Hacienda & Tortuga. Caddie was Wilner both times. Since he knew we were returning he made sure he was available for us! Carts had coolers with water, club/ball washers, tees. All the courses were beautiful and they have bunkers! Most were like concrete so we would pick up and toss on grass(no need to ruin our own clubs), tee boxes great, greens were sometimes fast and slow. Tortuga & Arrecife had some seaside holes! Our caddie was great and could read the greens really well! Courses are long and challenging so pick your tee boxes wisely!

First time 1/20/25. Staff very nice! Ice bucket, ball/club washer, tees on the carts, no GPS. Open bar, sandwiches, and chips included in price! Paired with a wonderful couple from Canada! Pace of play perfect and done in 4hrs. Some tee boxes were thin on grass, fairways very good with only a couple of over watered areas, and greens were mostly slow and quite a few pocked with divots. Bunkers were hard and pebbly so palm wedge is your best club. Security guards were present but very nice! Overall it’s between good and excellent and we may play again before we leave! Challenging yet enough tee boxes for your choice. Fairways mostly wide but if in vegetation or rock areas, it’s probably lost!

Booked a tee time and when we arrived found out it was shotgun play. No problem really except it would have been nice to know ahead. Got paired up with two nice gentlemen and we have a great time! Pace of play 4 hours, beverage cart was around this time. Lots of people but it worked out fine. Course still in great condition. Seemed to be less trash around. Staff is very nice! Golfers need to fill in divots. One of our favorite go to courses!
