Fun course

Challenging holes. Lots of water but still a fun place to play that doesn't break the bank. Course was in really good condition and not too crowded for a Saturday afternoon.

Course also has driving range and nice putting area.

First Time

Course was in great shape. Beautiful condition.

Agree with other people who have reviewed that it plays very slow. Got backed up on a few holes and had to wait a lot which led to a loss of rhythm.

Many fun holes with elevation changes, shots over or around water, bunkers protecting greens and canyons / mountains in play.

Staff was extremely friendly, offering to clean clubs and carry them to my car.

If you play during the peak season, during a peak time expect to have a long round (5hrs).

First Time

Course was in great shape.

Beautiful layout. Difficult to play shots for a first timer due to elevation changes and not knowing the appropriate club selection.

Many of the holes were shorter than expected.

Greens were fast.

I'm a young guy (mid 30's) and played as a single. Played with a friendly retired couple. Most of the people playing the course were retired. It kinda slows the pace of play and also is not a fun when you play with everyone who is hitting from front tees and hitting driver on par 3's. Didn't have anyone to challenge me or get me in a good rhythm.

Course was still fun and offers true Desert style play. Beautiful homes off the course for a great visual appeal.

First Time

Course was in excellent shape. Love the layout. Forgiving at times but also requires shot shapes and creative thinking.

Greens were extremely fast.

Loved the course so much I played 36 holes in one day.

Driving range is great and so is putting green.

Lunch facility was top notch as well.
