Thought I saved the best for last

I thought I had saved the best course for our last course in Portugal. Even though the course layout is fantastic, the greens were in such bad shape, we decided to take 2 putts and go on to the next hole. I didn't expect that a resort of this caliber, would allow their main course to get into this bad a condition. The good news, the tees and fairways are in good shape, the bunkers so-so.

Great inland course

Course is in great condition. A lot of ups and downs. Good value for the money. They have buggies, which some of the courses do not have. The fairways, tees and greens were a 7 to 8 on the 10 scale, would play it again.

Buckle up

A great course, a little ways from where we were staying, about half way between Estoril and Lisbon. A great up and down course, in the middle of a housing development , but no houses came into play.
The tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens, all rate a 10. A good course to play a few times.

Best course in northern Portugal

Easily the best course we played in Portugal, best in condition, and service. A real links course, many of the holes run along the Atlantic, with big dunes. All the things you would expect of an Irish or Scottish links course are here. Real fun to play, not a lot of ups and downs, but running the ball into the green, is a must.

Take a caddie

Great inland links style course. A little short, unless the wind is blowing. The course doesn't have buggies, but the walk is pretty easy. We decided to take caddies, glad we did. The wind was blowing, but thanks to them we didn't lose a ball. The caddies here are cheaper than buggies at most courses. The course was in great condition. Easiiest greens we had in 2 weeks of play.

A little out of the way

A golf course in the middle of wine country. Some of the holes will take your breath away. I don't think there's a flat hole on the course. All the course conditions are great. Being out of the way, means you might have the course all to yourselves.

excellant sameness

Play this course regularly. Always in decent to very good condition. Played as a twosome, in 3 hours. Courses is as good as it's ever been. They seem to be continually working and upgrading. A great desert/links style course, one of the best munis in southern Arizona.

A course to play again

Haven't played this course since it's opening in 2003. I was impressed with it then for the conditioning of the course. Now i'm wondering why the parking lot isn't full. Best conditioned course i've played, in a long time. Some of, the bunkers might be a little firm, but i had no trouble getting out, even though they're all pretty deep. The tees and fairways are great, and the greens fast and smooth. There's plenty of room in the fairways, and enough elevation change, along with hills and valleys, to keep it interesting. I'll be back.

good muni

Heard this course had closed, then heard that the city had taken it over. Showed up not expecting much, by the other reviews. After talking with the pro shop staff, was surprised to hear that OB Sports had taken over the management.

The course was in excellant condition, the greens were a 10, the fairways and tees at least an 8. Like most city courses the bunkers were the sore spot. Luckily there aren't many on the course.

The course has a wash running thru it, and it crosses many of the fairways. There are a few ponds on the course and a lake in front of hole 14.
This will be a real good muni, if the next 6 months of improvement is as good as the last 6. It's a simple golf, pure old time desert , course,. No rough and dirt areas between the fairways.

If your in the area, give it a chance.

best course i played in yuma

I was told that the course had seen better days. Very far from the truth. This course is at least an 8, on a scale of 10. The fairways are generous with plenty of room, and 20 yard buffers on each side. The greens, bunkers, and fairways are the best i saw in yuma. If they keep improving, this will rival any public course in arizona. The rough is what you would expect in the desert. Keep it in the fairway.

wish the fairways were as good as the greens

I played this course without knowing anything about it. Good thing the greens are fantastic, because the rest of the course is in dire need of work. I guess they play winter rules all the time, because finding a piece of ground with grass on it, is hard work.

Great little town course

Fairly straight forward course. Greens in excellant condition, along with the tees. Fairways not grown in yet, still under winter conditions. Value for the price, very good. Would travel the 60 miles from Tucson to play again.

Getting better every day

Have played here since it opened, was sad to see it fall into such bad shape. Heard that they had been improving it, so had to go see for myself. Played here in august 2014 and was disappointed, but now they've gotten it back to an 8 on a scale of 10..They say they've still got
a lot of work to do, but it's very playable now. I see that other reviews complain about the painted fairways, but think this was done to give the golfer a sight line. They decided to not overseed, toallow the bermuda the longest growing season they could,and give it a better chance this year.

poor greens

Course was in good condition except for the greens. Looks like no one repairs their ball marks. Lots of twists and turns, ups and downs. If the greens were in better condition this would be a top 10 course.

very senic enjoyable course

Not a bad hole on this course. All the ups and downs that make a course interesting to play. Very fair to the average golfer, with good landing and layup areas. Water features outstanding. Course in great condition for middle of summer. Pace of play real good, played in just under 4 hours, as a foursome. Will be back.
