Fun course

Greens were slow but otherwise in good shape. We paid $130 on golf now which was good value. Wouldn’t pay $200

Disappointing

Dead spots on the course. Grass growing thru the bunkers. Should be in better shape, disappointing to say the least.

Great course terrible bunkers

Course was not at all busy. Almost never had to wait. I don’t know where the other reviewers are accustomed to playing The bunkers had very little sand. On several bunkers, the sides have washed out. Many of the bunkers had a substantial amount of grass growing up. I did not see a single bunker in the condition I would expect for a course charging $174 for timeshare owners and over $200 for outsiders.

The greens were in good shape. They could be a little faster.

Loved the course

The Valley course was in excellent condition. The layout of the course is challenging but not overly difficult. Some of the fairways are quite undulating so can pose some blind shots. Greens were in great shape and fairly easy to read. The bunkers appeared to be well maintained and thankfully I didn’t need to test them out myself. Pace of play was very good although I did play early in the morning so don’t know how much that changes as the day goes on. Water on a number of the holes. Overall an excellent course that I will play again.

Sand traps needed attention- weeds and grass growing in them.

Desert Golf Adventure

We had a great day on the course, the pace of play moved along well with only a couple of holes where we had to wait. The course is beautiful and in good shape, the staff was very helpful. The drinks from the cart were outrageously expensive.

Terrible greens

I have played this course several times before and really enjoyed it.

The staff was friendly enough. The course from T up to green was great. The greens however were something you might encounter on a $50 course. Having 2 types of grass with one obviously growing quicker, it was like putting on a gravel parking lot. (OK, a little harsh perhaps). They not rolling anywhere near true.

Very disappointed on the greens.

Not in great shape

Have played here in the past and was disappointed in the conditions. Greens were kind of ragged, slow and quite bumpy. They didn't look that healthy. Rest of the course was in reasonable shape.
