1st visit

We really enjoyed the golf….course was in great shape, a bit challenging but fun. The views were awesome. We had booked tee time through GolfNow and got a great deal!

The amenities were very nice, although the clubhouse had a private function in the evening and we were unable to go in and have dinner afterwards, which was disappointing.

Overall a good experience.

First class golf facility

From the time I arrived to the time I left, the experience was first class. Everyone I conversed with was very friendly, the practice area was great and the overall course was in great condition and challenging.

Outstanding Views

This is one of the best courses in the valley. Outstanding vistas. The golf is definitely desert target golf. You must play the right tees for your level of game. Given the elevation the course plays a lot longer than what one would expect. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were receptive and rolled true. A good golf test with excellent vistas.

Great course!

Great course. Friendly staff. Only complaint was that the greens on the Gambler and Pioneer course are 5 months old so they are very firm. Will play there again.

We were mildly disappointed w the level of staffing

We had to handle our own bags loading & unloading at the bag drop because there was no one around

We saw the beverage cart early on the front nine but not again

We weren’t ready the first time but would have patronized later in the round
