Very good and fair
Good tee box offering for every skill level. Bunkers are strategically placed to challenge you on almost every hole. A few long carry holes to force you to push the ball a couple of time or you get to re-tee from the drop area like I did. Well worth the money.
Enjoyed it!
If I’m correct they are 2 weeks out from aeration. I guess I timed it correctly. The greens are in great condition, rolled really smooth. I’ve played here before, but always a couple of days before aeration. Enjoyed and will be back!
Ambiente is stellar
Played from the tips with a scratch golfer and got a ton of good tips for an IPA. Shot 91 but still one of the most enjoyable rounds I have played in some time. The course is one of the best in the valley and use it now before over-seed and ^ $.
Good course
Course was in good shape for the summer conditions - a little inconsistent in terms of some areas so watered they were soft and others firm but understandable given the heat. Play was a bit slow for an early morning round as we got behind a couple of ‘methodical’ groups that took time to practice swing or line up every shot just to miss by a decent margin. I enjoyed the round and would recommend and would play it again. Wish they allowed non-member walkers.
Nice layout
Course has a nice layout and 9 out then 9 back. Staff are all excellent, friendly, and helpful. Greens were in good shape. Course edges a little rough. Didn’t appreciate being in a bunker and huge grass/weeds on the back edge didn’t allow any backswing- crazy. Overall nice course and challenge.
Nice Course
Course was very nice. All staff are always nice and helpful. Greens were in good shape. Like the layout with 9 out then back. Edges can be rough. One hole was in a bunker and couldn’t swing with very tall and thick grass growing into the bunker, poor maintenance in my opinion. Overall like the course and is a decent challenge
Great, fast course
Staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Course was in great shape and we were able to play 18 holes in a little more than 3 hours. Frequent visits from drink cart, great food at clubhouse after - very great experience!
Poor Ameneties
It was 107 and they had NO water on the course (there was an older style water fountain at the restroom but it was hot water). At hole 9 back at the club house, we asked for ice. They reported they had none! And no beverages available for sale. At hole 10 we were greeted with a player urinating at the T box. The holes themselves were in poor condition. At hole 12 we had dog walkers, approaching on the T off, oblivious to it all.
Given the season the grass itself was well maintained and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. Fairly easy course.
