Putt well or don't bother keeping score

Nice course close to the Las Vegas Strip. Some holes tricked up (Dye course), but the greens are the challenge. I usually take 29-31 putts, this round I had 40! Very undulating greens and pins were on side slopes and not easy at all. I would like to play it again knowing more than I did the first time playing it.
If you pay full price, it is not worth it.

Keep it in play

Very nice course with many challenges. You must hit fairways to score. Plant of desert areas that are in play every hole.
Greens in very good shape for September. Glad I moved up to Silver tees. Shorter by 500 yards, but less stress for the day.
GolfNow price made this a treat to play.

Very challenging

Wind, that is the key to your round here. I have played the other 2 courses here, and this was just as good as the others. It was blowing 20-35 mph, but that is the norm. Rough is very penalizing and greens were a challenge to read. Bring your best game to score well. Pricey (even with GolfNow) and slow are the only complaints. Fairways and greens in very good condition.

Nice layout

Lots of good holes. I was tested all day. However, greens not as good as they should be.
Also staff not as friendly as they could be. I had to wipe my own clubs off at end of round as 2 cart guys stood nearby chatting amount themselves.
I like the course, and price is good, but it could be a better experience.

Tough course, greens need help

Never played in Texas, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Great deal from Golfnow made this very worthwhile to play. Staff was great, weather was great. Greens were spotty in many places and I'm sure lack of rain didn't help the course conditions. Lots of elevation changes, sloping fairways and huge greens. Great views on many holes.
I would like to play it again soon.

Better greens coming soon

Very nice course, used to be private country club now open for some outside play. Greens not perfectly healed from punching and sanding, but not bad. Practice green was perfect!!! Well manicured fairways and nice bunkering. A challenge for any golfer, choose your tees correctly (I played Combo Blue and White) for an enjoyable round.

Choose better next time

Looking for a hidden gem and this wasn't it. Course condition below average, fairways not manicured at all, greens burned in lots of places. Good variety of holes, but condition soured me all day.

Hard to get there, but worth the trip

Bad news, no driving range and older style amenities. Good news is that course was fun and challenging. Bring your straight driving clubs. Fairways cut narrow and trees prevent anything but a punch back into play. Greens not perfect (punched within 3 weeks), but very playable. Quite pricey unless you use Golfnow.com. Lots of variation on holes, just had a very good experience.

Tight and tighter!!

Very nice course, greens and fairways in very good shape. Nice combination of different holes, but a very tight driving course. Bring your best driving game or suffer the consequences.

Fun elevation changes, great weather. Pace of play awful

Took almost 5 1/2 hours to play and we were not the slow ones. Fun elevation changes, great weather. However many greens had "donuts" around holes making putting difficult. Fairways needed watering.
Overall disappointing

Nice layout. Some tough holes, and great views. Greens not in great shape

Played this course before and returned for another go of it. Well maintained, but greens were crusty and needed attention. Will play again next visit
