Great course

we were so looking forward to playing The Firecliff course and it did not disappoint. This is by far the most beautiful and well conditioned course we have ever played. only complaint was the greens were very hard and balls would bounce off but we expected that since they are new greens. will definitely play this again next time we are here.

Firmest greens in the Desert. A real test of golf. Both skillfully and mentally.

Impressed

I know it was pricey, coming from Chicago thought it was pretty expensive, but the experience was awesome. The course was immaculate, and everything was great.

Will come again for Sure!

Liked this course My wife and I I enjoyed playing

My wife and I enjoyed playing the course. It was challenging and at the same time easy to keep the ball in play. Conditions were good.

Disappointing housekeeping

The course layout is decent, lots of room to hit your balls out in the fairway. What I was really disappointed in was the fact that ball divits were completely out of control. It's like nobody who golfs here actually cares enough to repair ball marks on the green. Disappointing to see as the course has potential. I wouldn't go back anytime soon..

Good course for the price. Bad customer service.

Overall great course. Bunkers were in good shape and greens rolled very nice. Kitchen was closed for food before the game and no beverage cart throughout the game. Staff was rude when we asked to get service on the patio stating there was a ladies event inside and they couldn’t help us.
