Francisco Grande Hotel and Golf Resort

I advise the Ranger whoever was involved or in charge of that situation. Look at times of teetimes before approaching and accusing groups for being slow play. we are advanced players and we know how to play the game. I was playing there for two weeks now first time there it was a five hour round. Nothing was said to any of the groups that I was aware of at that time. We played the second time there, and played our round in four hours tops so I advise the staff to get their facts straight before they accuse any groups of being slow. Thank you.

This course is a bit rough I think the lawnmower must be broken. Pace of play was painfully slow

This golf course looks like it hasn’t been mowed or taking care of since 1972 . the greens were the worst greens out ever played. It looks like a course that you’d play after a zombie apocalypse or a nuclear war. It’s that bad come on Golf resort and hotel give me a break.

First the good--the layout is wonderful with plenty of variety. Lots of trees--unusual for a desert course--so wayward shots require more than just a desert club for recovery. Staff were universally friendly and welcoming, though I think they were short staffed as there was nobody manning the bag drop or the snack bar at the turn nor was there a beverage cart out on a beautiful day with a full tee sheet. Course maintenance was lacking, and that is my biggest gripe about the course. Tee boxes were very hard (you shouldn't be breaking tees inserting them in the ground, for goodness sake!) and somewhat shaggy. Fairways were generally in good shape though, again, pretty shaggy. Greens were very slow, though in good shape. Bunkers varied but most we encountered were fairly hard and could use either more sand or some digging up to loosen the existing sand. The rough was, well, rough. Lots of weeds, long grass, bare spots, rodent holes, etc. There are lots of beautiful palm trees on the course that have clearly been neglected for years as the "beards" of old palm fronds indicate (I'll bet mine won't be the only ball found if they ever get trimmed). I scored well for me so maybe that affects my opinion of the course. But unless conditions improve I can't really see myself making the drive out to play this course again.

Absolutely loved the course however the “rough “ of the fairways etc is way too long. Found myself loosing balls because It rolled off fairway into thick grass that I normally would find. But due to rain I’m guessing things got over grown like crazy.
