Nice New Find

Course was in nice shape. Fairways were almost over watered. Greens were nice. Layout was nice. No "suicide" holes.

Hard to Find

The signage to find the course was insufficient. Good thing we had GPS. The course was wet because of frequent rains. There were a lot of tricky lies which made it hard to play the first time. The first hole made me want to quit because of its layout. Things did get better with the last two holes going along the lake. Don't worry you slicers, it is on the left..

Bring Your SCUBA Gear

My wife and I arrived a bit late and they graciously bumped our tee time. The first hole is not friendly at all. After that things improved. It had rained for several days so the course was quite soggy. There is a lot of water on this course. Course is hard playing for the first time. The course is not a push over!

Not Bad, Not Great

Wet, soggy day to play. It seemed as though the designers tried to make the course play harder than it was. One hole, they guy we were paired with and we could not figure out where the green was.

Great, Playable Golf Course

Upon arriving, the flowers and grounds were impressive. The staff and set up were professional. The course was challenging, but did not beat you up. The GPS made it doable for the fist time player.

Straight Forward Course

This is a fairly straight forward course. Island green on the 16th. Nice non desert course. Great for ladies. Lots of palm trees, mixed with conifers.

What a Surprize!

This course has changed ownership. Put behind you what you have seen or heard. The course is in excellent shape! The greens were perfect. No brown spots. Traps needed som attention, but the course was great! Can you say "Green."

Tight course. Straight forward with few challenges. Thick grass around greens is tough. Glad my wife and I tried it.

A Way to Go

To be fair, it was a rainy week. There was mud everywhere. Fairways were rough and the greens slightly better. It is a straight forward course. The staff was very friendly.

Charming Course

The greens were excellent. The fairways and tee boxes were a bit rough. Some of the par three holes were challenging, including the island green on Anza. Very relaxed community with old southwest charm.

Strategy

Beautiful course. Fairways were a little rough on one course. Tortolita has a wash on most holes. Either long carries or lay ups. Difficult if you are not familliar with the course. Wild Burro was more friendly, but not in as good of shape.

Summer Duldrums

Last winter the course was picking up. Did not see that in the summer. The fairways, tee boxes and greens were in good shape for summer. The ice machine at the practice green has a problem working in the summer. Hello, it's hot out there! They did have a lot of water jugs on the course with ice in them. The practice facility is now included in the price.

Green Grass

I rated the course as excellant because the tees and fairways were very lush and green. Because summer is here and the temps are over 100, a lot of the courses are using that for and excuse to have brown and hard everything. The greens are being arieated but this has to be done. Can not hold it against them. Balls still ran fairly true. Hope they keep it up as the sumer progresses.

Worth the Search

A very plush course. Fairways were very green and soft for this time of the year. Greens were being aerated so putting was next to impossible. The staff was great. As a first time player, you need to follow the directions given by the starter as the course wanders, even across busy streets. If you have never been there before, allow extra time to find the place. The signs are very discreet and don't be affraid to ask for dirrections.

Dusty Road

Played on a windy day, so much so that you could not see the mountains because of the dust. Fairways and greens were in average shape for this time of the year. Some die back of the rye grass. Straight forward couse with no washes running across the fiarways.

Course in good shape. Amenities a problem.

As shared in the title, the course is in good shape. It was very busy so extra time was needed to complete our round. The back nine bathroom needs to be repaired. It has been out of service since the last time we golfed here over a month ago. The self-service ice bin was empty when we came around to start the back nine, but the hospitality lady was very accommodating.

Nice desert course.

Since I played after the reseeding process, the fairway grass was very lush and green. The greens were fine with some bare spots. The course was well marked and easy to navigate.

Death to Grass

I have played this course before and it was in great shape. They are in the process of overseeding so it is not fair to rate it now. Most of the grass was dead brown, tees, greens and fairways. This is an anual procedure and a lot of the courses close when this is done.
