Disappointed

Fairways shouldn’t have brown areas this time of year and hard as the parking lot. Needs a lot of water to get the course back in shape.

Pricey for course condition

Staff friendly and professnal. Tee boxes sparse areas. Fairways also have rough spots and wet areas from irrigation leaks is my guess. Greens were good. I think the green fee is high for the product offered. I can play course ms much nicer for little more. Saying that I would play here again just, not a top choice.

Mucho Grande

This course started improving approximately 3 years ago. They have continued that trend every year. Very smooth greens, good fairway turf and soft sand in sand in the bunckers.
