I heard it was a terrific course, but the drive to get there always dissuaded me from going. I won’t let that happen again. This place is pretty special with countless elevated tees and vistas to go on for miles and can take your breath away. Fairways and greens were perfect. Plenty of water to drink on the course.

One caveat: bring your bug spray and maybe a fly swatter. The flies were a bit annoying. But I took that in stride as the course was, well, majestic. Play it.

Although i have played Verde River a few times in the past, I have never played THIS iteration of the course. It's been turned around, flipped upside down, and re-carved into something that shows it will be spectacular one day. And probably one day soon. And while the course is being seeded, landscaped, and grown as you play, it is in great shape. The fairways are soft and the greens are slick. I was impressed with the sand in the bunkers as well. Perhaps the best sand I saw this week in playing four different courses. I hear that the course is going private in about 18 months, but I hope they don't. I'm a visitor, not a local and I'd hate to think I'd never be able to play here again. At the very least, I need to get back here one last time after they have completed the new clubhouse. It should be amazing.

Oh, yes. And the vistas. I forgot to mention those. As good as they get.
