Course was nice and was done in 3:40 playing as foursome behind another foursome!

Padre was in great shoe and the staff was awesome. Just jumped out of a plane with travel case and the guys down by the bag area took the case and other backpack for me and I hopped on course to play. The course had a good mix of easier and harder holes and would be great for groups with a mix of skills. #17 was toughest Par 3 tee shot I have faced in a long time!

Too hot? Nope, lots of shade.

The course was in great shape today. It gets plenty of water and the fairways were lush and the rough was green and plentiful. Ball rolled well on the greens which were also in great shape. Plenty of shade around to keep you cooler while the sun beats down this summer.

Interesting layout

Aprons are too soft. They are mowed to allow links style bump and run but are too soft.

I play a couple times a month and shot an 80 from the white tees (6400 yards). Good views and friendly staff with good course conditions made for a good time. Fun course all the way around but not overly challenging
