Jeff

Has potential for a 5 star. Rated it lower. Rough too high. Difficult to find golf balls. Slows down play.

Fairways too high. No roll. Slow greens. Did not meet expectations

Excellent practice facilities and carts. Great scenery.

Nice course with desirable amenities but with meandering layout.

Pros:

--modern carts with GPS.

--impeccable gardens all around the course. Greens and fairways are well-maintained. Lots of water hazards.

--The course is divided into three 9-hole courses. You can binge-play all 27 at one time.

--The 3 9-hole courses are named Cielo, Vista, and Lago. Know which two courses they threw you in and the order in which you are supposed to play, like Cielo-Vista or Cielo Lago. Vista is way down the street, about 8 minutes away. Lost of first-timers got lost.

--The day we played, there were mostly couples, but the staffer did not try to force us into foursomes—basically, they send you out, first-come, first-serve.

Decent Layout ruined by terrible Geofencing and poorest greens on otherwise nice course

Can't abide courses that carelessly set up their geofences, which disabled my cart while ON a CARTPATH, ended up having to drive on the turf at the edge of OB to get around the poor fence, plus multiple other times it prevents users from driving on reasonable areas over 30-50 feet from a green, while other players in their own carts can drive right up to the edge of the green..

Furthermore, greens were mowed very long, which required massively strong putts to go 20 ft. or more.

finally, vista/cielo is the only 18 hole rotation that doest leave you with a 10+ minute ride either before or after your round.

Sadly GN did not inform us that the other 2 courses were closed. Had to play Cielo Course twice. Disappointed

A Pleasure to Play

Lee and Jerry on staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgable; great service! The Vista / Lagos courses were generally in good shape though there were some dry spots on a couple fairways. One issue for me was unclear signage to direct you from end of Vista to the start of Lagos. Otherwise a pleasure to play all round.

Great course

Great course but a bit challenging to find your way around. In addition, finished playing at 2:00 but grill already closed. A little disappointing that we could not get anything to eat.

Staff is excellent, very friendly. Course in excellent condition considering the heat of the summer.

Rough shape

Course is in bad shape right now. Dead/thin spots everywhere and greens are slow and bumpy. I’ll wait a few months and give them time to fix it before I go back.

Rude and disrespectful

The staff was rude and entitled! We were trying to check in and were treated badly!

I don’t recommend wasting your money here!

There are many other choices in the desert!!

Golfen old lady

I have played these courses many times and the courses have been in good to excellent condition. but not this time. The fairways and around the greens are in poor condition, no grass or burnt-out grass. The greens are in good- minus condition The cart attendant was grumpy old man. After driving an hour, I was very disappointed.
