Positives: The course is in excellent condition. The only issues were the ball marks that went unrepaired. For the desert the fairways were green, lush, and a perfect height. Got a good hot deal price. Don't think I would play here without a good rate.
Negative: Slow round. Played hurry up and wait all day and it took 5h 10m.

Started by arriving early so we grabbed a breakfast burrito which was excellent.
Hit balls on the range, chipped, putted, and away we went. 3 hrs and 45 min later we were done and that included a beverage/snack stop at the turn.
Greens were fast and rolled true. Fairways were dormant and brown in many areas but they still played fine. A few hidden sight lines on the front nine. Was lucky not to find hazards twice.
Will go back.

I made the drive to Arlington from Renton in about 1hr, 10 minutes to meet my grandfather (who is a 15 handicap) and my cousin (who is just learning to play) and took advantage of the "Beastmode is Back" special ($24 w/cart and range balls). I found the course short but tight. Hitting a straight ball is key. The greens rolled very true. There were a few tough lies in the fairway from lack of water/rain, but overall the conditions were good. I tried to drive some greens that I should not have and that resulted in a few lost balls along the way. The players assistants were friendly and knowledgable. They told me to take an extra club on a par three and I knocked it inside 10 feet :). We let a single play through on hole 7, and that was the only other golfer we saw. It is a tough course for a beginner beacuse there a a few holes that have some forced carry over marsh and wasteland, but my cousin was patient and still had a good time. A perfect course for the casual player and above. I will make the trip up again soon.

For as much as this course is played the greens are in really good shape. Fairways are running fast making driving the ball fun if you can keep it straight. A little inconsistant from green to green with approach shots, some stick and some bounce and release. Always fun at the bend!

Overall the course is in good shape. Only a couple fairways were wet enough for the ball to plug, but many fairways actually gave some roll. The greens were firm and quick, must be from covering them in the evenings. They are remodeling the restaurant but they still have a full menu and bar. Highly recommend, especially for the $20 price I got.
