Course in fair condition

The tee boxes were terrible. Some were so hard, it was extremely difficult to put a tee in the ground . Grass was very scarce on the tee boxes and most were very uneven. The 2nd cuts around thr greens were long and in bad shape. Fairways were average with casual water in many areas but the bunkers were very hard and compacted. Course conditions took a lot of the enjoyment out of the round. Very disappointed.

Well worth the drive from Phoenix

Good course, nothing fancy, although a neat story behind the hotel and course. Sounds like it is busy and slow on the week end, but we played on a Monday and play flowed just about right.

For this time of year the course was in great shape.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was beautiful here, greens in good shape. Play was a little slow. Still many golfers for this time of year but glad the course is being used

Love this course!

Great course with some really awesome holes.

A big, big handclap to the sand traps that are actually sand! No rocks and no hard crust! A lot of other course could learn something about sand traps from them.

This course is a little over an hour from my house or I would golf there a lot more often.

Great Value

This was a nice walking course as it is relatively flat. The course has all the length you could want and there are many different sets of tees to suit anyone. The staff were super friendly and I really enjoyed the course layout. I would definitely play here again.
