Amenities???

You would think with the price you pay to play this course they could at least have ice and water available, if not water bottles in the cart cooler. No cups, water or ice available here!!

Beautiful course

We played Rattler and Coyote and found the course to be in awesome shape and found the the greens to be very fast and interesting.

The course was challenging and really scenic, with rolling fairways. Would absolutely recommend this course.

Skip Palmer (was Roadrunner)

Palmer course has too many par 3's. Play Coyote/Rattler.

Fantastic Course

We rolled up to the 1st tee box and we see a pack of coyotes, not too concerning seeing native wildlife. Course was in great condition, weather was perfect. And the views are amazing. Course was challenging for us but still played it better than expected. The beer cart came by a few times so we always had opportunity for drinks and snacks. I would recommend this course to everyone that's willing to pay spend the extra money to play on a Troon course. In my opinion, it was worth it.

Everything about the course, staff we dealt with, restaurant were very good. Problem was slow play by a group in front of us. Our cart GPS showed us 90 minutes behind the pace.

These were assumed to be displayed on all carts. I had an appointment 6 hours after my tee time, so I was forced to depart the course before finishing my round. I informed the departure staff about the situation, they were very sympathetic, but they informed me that they do not employ a course marshal and rely on the golfers to police the course.
