Immaculate course with fuzzy greens

Braved the heat to play mountain view in "summer conditions" (longer greens, cut at 8 as per pro shop) for about $60. Other than continuously cursing myself for leaving putts short, l had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed this course (great condition, love the desert landscaping). Bonus: Finished in just under 4 hours.

Great practice area with range and chipping greens.

Staff was super friendly and accommodating. I was paired with an older gentleman and they disabled/turned down the GPS restrictions to allow us to roll right up to the greens so he didn't have to walk up any slopes. He also was only playing 9 so they picked him up on the 9th green (9 doesn't not end at the club house).

Gorgeous Desert

It was absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. Staff was friendly and informative. It's the desert it's hot there is little to no shade and no cart service. Straight 18 holes until you get back to clubhouse so we only played front 9.

Long Day

Course plays long, has some beautiful views. Grounds keepers were busy with maintenance on a couple holes. Water hazards had bad smell. I would play it again.

Good shape

Good shape for this time of year. Greens are still recovering from being punched and a bit of taller grass outside of the ruff, otherwise great shape

Price too high

Course is too expensive for summer play. I’m sure this is a great course in peak season and worth the money paid, however, it is not worth the money in summer. It should be a 80 dollar course at best.

Played Mountain View and conditions were decent for summer, greens pretty slow. Would like to play firecliff in the peak season to compare.

Awesome golf!

Overall I really enjoyed this course. Such a beautiful course and great layout. Course was in great condition for mid summer. I played PGA West Nicklaus tournament course the day before and there was dead, cut grass everywhere in the rough making it hard to find a ball. One thing I didn’t like was that there was only 1 par 3 and par 5 per side. Would definitely recommend to a friend and play here again.
