Slow play

I have played here often but this time the course could be in better shape at the tee box's and on the fairways. The pace of play was unbelievable literally 2 foursome waiting to tee off because one group does not know how to keep pace of play. Need golf Marshall's.

Really like this course!

The course is in great shape!

I like the way it starts out gradually and gets more challenging as you go. Holes 8 through 16 all have twists and turns to consider with lots of risk-return trade offs! difficult but fair!

The staff are all very friendly and pleasant.

This is one of my favorite courses!

Time to Renovate

Have played this course many times over the last 20 years. It is a unusual quirky layout, with large elevation changes, and some dramatic twists and turns. If the conditions are well maintained with enough rough along the fairway edges to stop a slow rolling ball it can be a fun interesting track. However, the site lines are now somewhat diminished, and they are mowing the edges very tight, so even a well struck shot landing in the middle of the fairway still has a good chance of rolling into the dessert on certain holes. This course was way more fun and fair years ago before Troon took over. Some of the tee box areas are very run down and even dangerous to walk up and down, huge loose rocks and holes. On one short par 3 there was a water valve cap missing in the middle of the cart path right next to the men’s path to the shared tee, could easily break a leg or ankle getting in or out of your cart. There was a ranger parked on this hole and we mentioned it to him, his response was that maintenance will get to it. He should have handled it immediately , by placing a cone or driving up the cart path and grabbing another valve cap from a more remote area, we passed 3 valve cap covers on the way up the hill to the next tee.

In summary this course is fun but it really needs a renovation, things are kind of edgy and not in good shape. And mowing the edges tight really changes the whole playability.

Lots of potential but course conditions, playability and safety issues are really disappointing. Troon corporate needs to visit and evaluate the situation.

This was my last time playing this course, it’s off the list. Too bad !

Incredible course

If you haven’t played this course before, you must try this course. This is a great course.

I have played this course quite a few times over the years. I find this course to be a delightful challenge. The course is maintained extremely well. I wish they hadn’t removed the water hazards, but left some good ones. I truly love this course, and have fun even when I’m not playing up to par.

Staff at the turn

The person at the halfway house at the turn was very rude. We did not order food in advance because we did not see the sign, but there was no one behind us and she refused to sell us anything besides drinks. She was the "hotdog Na*i" and since it was lunchtime, we were starved. So, be advised, "no food for you' at the turn if you don't call in advance.
