Overpriced

The course is just ok but the $169 green fee is WAY OVERPRICED for what you get in terms of what you get. Carts are old and outdated, there were MANY spots of dead grass or bare dirt, and many of the tee boxes were soupy wet. It would be worth a $70 fee, not $169.

Poor Conditions

Was disappointed by the shape of the course for the cost of the round. Both back 9’s were very wet but also had a number of burnt out spots on fairway and some tee boxes. Poor value in my opinion. We played four courses throughout the valley while on vacation and this was easily our least favourite due to the shape/condition of the course.

Not worth the money.

The course condition was absolutely awful. Greens were poor. The course was FULL of bare spots and soaking wet. I would so much rather play Papago or Talking Stick.

Or just drop $400 for Troon for that matter.

Terrible course for the money

Fairways were in terrible shape as grass was patchy in most areas. The course, for being in the desert with no current rainfall, was soaked in water on the majority of holes. The greens are all painted green to give the appearance of grass. This is probably one of the worst courses to golf on for the money. Even if they offered it for free, it still would be overpriced.

Such a complete rip off

I played here years ago and it was fine, this time first of all because of the WM tournament the price was outrageous and seriously I could have overlooked that if the course was in ok shape, it was terrible. It was heavily watered the night before mud everywhere, the greens were in bad shape and then to top it the starter was very rude. I was with my 16 year old son and we were to the tee box on time and he’s tone was like he was doing us a favor by him being there, it was disappointing and will never play there again. Coming back next year and will definitely play Silverado again, they were so friendly and gave my son a junior break on price.

This was the first time playing this course. I was Very disappointed I didn't get to play the whole course I had to play the back 9 on both courses to make it 18. It certainly was kept up like I expected. There are plenty of course to play before I play this one again. Just go across the street to play Silverado to have a well kept course. Which I did the next day!!

Confusing

You play the back nines of both of their courses. Signs are few and far between. Course had a ton of water (no rain in weeks), lots of ruts and bumps just found it no a warm and fuzzy golf course. No one even told us about playing the back nines. I do r think I’ll be back for awhile!

Ultra firm fast tiered greens

Played Front 9 of both courses!? Play was slow probably because of the difficult greens.
