Fantastic condition!

Excellent grass on fairways, tees, and greens.

Very surprising for off season golf.

Two cart girls. A cold towel delivery.

I made a tee time for tomorrow morning!

Great value.

I was 120 degrees

It was 120 degrees when we started at 5pm ans 111 at 7:30. Opposite of the Polar Bear Plunge. No one ahead or behind us. The course was in excellent condition for the climate. We had fun.

Nice Desert Golf

Course was in great condition given the day was one of the hottest this summer. Pace was excellent and staff was outstanding. Really appreciated the attendant making several rounds of the course providing ice cold water and towels - a real life saver on a day like this.

Look forward to playing here again.

Always Fantastic

This is my fourth time playing the Celebrity Course in the past 9 years. It never disappoints. The entire course was in fabulous condition. The staff was very friendly. And hey, I birdied 4 out of the first holes on the back 9. So yeah, it was an AMAZING day!!!

The Heat Is On

Enjoyable round on a very hot day at the Mountain View Course. Course in very good condition, some fun holes & a couple of challenging pins. Lots of access to water which was key. Greens in very good shape. A bit of extra sand on some holes which weren't really bunkers which was odd. One of the most comfortable golf carts ever riden in. Had GPS too. Is it better than Fire Cliff no but still a very fun rack.

Summer Golf

Course is in decent shape, definitely pack some bug spray. There were people walking their dogs on almost every hole, super annoying and dangerous. Course really needs to address the situation before someone gets hurt

Wide open course.

Not bad staff over all except starter at first tee, wide open course upon arriving 40 minutes early during checking in club house gave us green light to get to tee box since there were no other bookings, while starter was not on the same page with them and having attitude and wanted us to wait till my tee time . Unknown 2 some was paired with us which we didn’t notified by club house however they came up to tee box and said same thing to starter and he looked clueless now what to say to this 2 some. 😆 would have been better starter to get 4 star review.

Fabulously Vintage

The Legend course is one of my favorites in town. It's a fun course to play and on some of the holes, you think your on the set of "Mad Men"! Most of the holes are forgiving with enough challenges to keep it interesting. Bottom line, it's a fun course and a nice place to spend the day.

solid round

enjoy this track. Staff was great from the pro shop to the assistance to the encore Marshall. They even provide wet towels during the round and toward the end, which is a nice experience.

Track is solid and pace play is good. Greens are in great shape. Great place to play especially in the summer. Practice facilities are good as well.

They also offer shuttle service between the desert, Willow Westin, and the course
