Just beautiful
The course was in great shape. Fairways, greens and tees were like a perfect carpet. Greens were fast, especially from above the hole. Oh yeah, and the scenery was gorgeous.

Nice track
First time playing, great mix of parkland and desert golf. Everything from the checkin, range, 1st tee starter, on course beverage and club cleaning was great. Will definitely come play here again. The only slight is the greens are very grainy and putting can be a challenge, make use of the green reader function on their GPS system.
