Enjoyable course

Great afternoon of golf. Condition of the course was good. Sand traps were not consistent, however. Some had been groomed and others not. Greens were slow.

Challenging with many greens surrounded by bunkers.

Great Day of Golf

Really like this course. Very fair with some challenging water holes. The greens were not in the best condition. Quite bumpy.

Great adventure!

We had a great time, but a bit of an adventure with unexpected pouring rain storm and thunder!
Lasted about 20 minutes and had no problem finishing the round!

Great Course

I had not played the course in several years, but it is still in pristine condition and beautiful. I am a very average golfer, so the moderate difficulty is perfect for me. We had a great time!

Not Worth the $$$$

I am a devoted Marriott customer. The cost to play these two resort courses way out of line, given the conditions of the course. We played Valley and was very surprised with the poor greens. Too many better options in the area, given the cost.

Customer service good…

Red tees are back

After several years, the Red tees are back. It makes the course easier for those who want a strategic fun game but are not long hitters
