Awesome course. Bunkers need more sand.

More sand in the bukers. Other than that, the course is top-notch.

WOW! GREAT EVERYTHING. Better conditions than Indian Wells and PGA West Stadium. I was blown away at this course. It was my wife’s favorite course that we played this week. For reference I am 6 handicap and my wife is a 26. I played the two tee’s and she played the front.

Just too much, too gimicky

I will probably play it once a year for variety sake. Too much water, Fountains, flower beds, etc. Greens to slopy and undulating. Just overdone in my opinion. On the practice range, why weren't the training stalls in use?

Excellent all around

The course was an immaculate shape. We played in the early afternoon and finished in 4 hours and 10 minutes.

We will be back when we visit the desert.

Repeated play

We played this course 2 days consecutively, because the course was fun and well maintained.

The first day was also the first time playing. Every category rating as indicated with the exception the staff could use a bit of humanity; not unfriendly, but a smile could go a long way instead of an annoyed expression. Good thing we weren’t hanging around the pro-shop to try to make friends.

New Layout

Curious to see what changes they had made. Was a bit disappointed. Liked the old layout better. New sand so balls plugged quite often. The green were new and firm but putted okay. They only had one set of d men's stiff shaft rentals which was ridiculous.

Lack of security

Went to the bathroom at the pro shop and when I got back to the golf cart my golf gloves were gone and six of my green Callaway golf balls. Will Not go back...
