Great Course

Got a hot deal and had a $10 promo code. Well worth the price I paid. Paired up with a golfer familiar with the course and that helped me tremendously. Fairways had a decent amount of grass for this time of year. They ran fast which helped my shorter drives a lot. Some holes needed a drive that hit in certain areas due to contours that could get you in trouble. For the most part they were generous but did require less than driver on some holes. Most of the greens had different levels and if you did not get on the proper level would be a difficult 2 putt. Took a few holes to get the green speed down. Some greens were a little rough but rolled pretty well anyway. Got into a couple of sand traps. They had a good amount of sand in them. Got up and down out of one of them with a 58 degree wedge. Would play this course again in a few months with the greens grown in a little better.

Great course

Course is in great condition. Fairly generous fairways. I had trouble reading the greens but they were in excellent condition. They had many undulations and subtle breaks in some areas that were hard to read. Will be playing the course again when I'm back in the area.

Very challenging greens

Course was in great shape. Greens had severe slopes which made a 2 putt challenging if you weren't close to the hole. Don't plan on playing to your handicap on this course.

Fantastic Course

As mentioned in other reviews the driving range is irons only so no warmup with driver prior to tee off. Thankfully I made great contact and put the first tee shot in the fairway. There is a small chipping and putting green near the clubhouse. Also a nice putting green near the first tee.
Fairways were all in excellent condition and were nice to hit off. Greens were in great condition except for ball marks some players decided not to repair. Greens rolled true and had some challenging slopes on them.
The other players I was to be paired with did not show up so I joined a foursome for the first 2 holes. On the 3rd hole we were greeted by the Starter and I was told they do not allow more than 4 players per group so I would have to play by myself even though there were no players in front or behind us. We were easily keeping up the pace of play.
One of the carts in the foursome I was playing with broke down so they let me play through. A few holes later I caught up with a group. After waiting on them a few holes I the joined the threesome. The rest of the round was enjoyable and helpful after joining them since one of the players was a regular.
Front nine was a little more difficult than the back. Pace of play was good with 4 players but would have been a pain playing as a single on a course I had never played before. Ended up shooting 44 on the front with all the problems. Shot 36 on the back with 3 birdies including one of them on the last hole!
Just for reference I was playing the silver tees. Longer hitters may want to move back for more of a challenge. The silver tees were just right for my game. Round took 4 hours 5 minutes. Would play again if I'm in the area.

Fun course to play

Course was tougher than normal playing in a 3 or 4 club wind all day. Greens were a little bumpy but should be great in another month or so. Fairways were in excellent condition. Some tee shots were blind with sloping fairways which rolled out. Hole 18 is a forced carry over water where you need to challenge the left fairway bunker to get a reasonable distance to the green. The shot was into the wind on the day I played but I made it on the green in 2 and 2 putted for par! Great way to end the round. I would definitely make this a must play if you are in the area.

Quality Golf Course

Had an enjoyable round of golf today with a local player and a couple of guys from North Carolina. None of us played very well but everyone had fun. Course was in perfect condition. Greens were in excellent condition and much faster than I usually play. Practice areas were also very good with the putting green speed the same as the course. This was a very good choice for a round of golf at an excellent price on Golf Now. I'd play it again without hesitation.

Great layout

Course was in good condition. Played the green tees which were challenging enough for me. Fairways were generous. A few carries over water cost me some strokes. The greens were fast so putting was a challenge especially downhill. I'll play it again when I'm in the area if I can get another hot deal on Golf Now.

Great greens

Greens were in great condition and rolled true. My tee time was just before noon so the morning groups were far enough ahead I didn't have to wait on anyone for the entire round. Fairways were in good condition as well. The bunkers I ended up in on a few holes did give me some problems. This is a really nice course I will play again when I'm back in the area.

Gem of a course

Played the course years ago and enjoyed it. Since then it has been redesigned and is now even better. A couple of the holes were changed which I think was for the better. Everything was in great condition with exception of a few tee boxes. Greens were in perfect condition and had enough undulations to make them challenging if you land on the wrong part of the green. Bunkers were in great shape as well with plenty of sand.
Got paired with some guys that had played the course before and helped picking aiming points. Played the back tees and the course was not too long. Next time I will probably move up one tee box to make it a little easier for my game. Driver got me in trouble a a few times so 3 wood would be more accurate from next tee box to make it to the same landing area.
Pace of play was a little slow due to a group about 4 holes ahead so there was waiting on most holes.
Hole 18 is a blind shot with the drop area not visible if you hit in the water. Best to drive or walk up and make sure the area is clear before teeing off.
Will try to play this course every time I am in the area. Fun course to play with elevation changes to test your club selection. Great deal through GolfNow.

Fantastic greens

Played at 7:30 as a single. Since it was cold and recent rain on the course I played the White tees. Course was still a little challenging for me. Greens were being mowed just before I hit into most greens so it took a little longer to play the round. Greens rolled perfectly and were very smooth. Fairways were wide enough to hit driver on most holes. A few did require less than driver to stay short of hazards. Saw the marshal on a couple of holes even though there were very few golfers out. Friendly and helpful staff. Will play again when We are in the area.

Very soft but fast greens

Cold and wet conditions from recent rains. They were also watering the course when I got there which made for some really wet areas. Greens were very soft but were very difficult if you were anywhere but directly below the cup. Some of my shots hit close to the hole rolled off the green on a well struck shot. Had numerous 5 to 10 foot second putts since the greens were rolling so fast. Had a lot of 3 and 4 putts to make this my highest score of the year. Can't imagine how fast the greens are in the summer time! Even though I like the layout of the course I may not be coming back because of the greens. If you like really fast and sloping greens this is the course for you.

Enjoyable Course

First time playing this course so I really didn't know what to expect. I played the gold tees which were great for my level of play. This is a fun course to play with a few forced carries. In great condition the day I played. Got a good rate on Golf Now. Will play again the next time I'm in the area.

Would play again

Generous fairways as other reviewers have mentioned. Fairways and greens were in perfect condition. Fun course to play. The only negative I have is more on the players. There were numerous pitch marks on every green. There was a tournament the day I played so that may have contributed to the number of pitch marks. I tried to repair a few on every green especially the ones near the line of my put. However, the more holes I played it seemed futile to try to get all of them. If I'm in the area again I would definitely play this course again.

Fun Course to Play

Got a great deal on Golf Now but the tee time was 11:00 so it was a rather warm round of golf. Not much wind the day I played. Played the gold tees so there were a couple of par fours that were too long for me to reach in 2. I am not a long hitter. Most of the holes were reachable. On many of the holes the bunkers are not visible from the tee. That is where the free booklet helps out for club selection. The postage stamp and road hole were the most memorable holes. My shot went just right of the scoreboard on the road hole and still made the edge of the fairway. The left bunker on the postage stamp is impressive. Steps are installed to get in and out. There were a lot o menacing bunkers all over the course and they all seemed to be well taken care of. Luckily I only ended up in one. My playing partner got in a bad one and took 3 or 4 shots to get out. The last one was away from the hole. Everything about the course was impressive including the friendly and helpful staff. If you are in the area this should be one of the courses to play.

Great Little Course

Great little course with some interesting par 3 holes that usually had a severe elevation drop to the green. Very satisfying if you hit the green. Plays longer on most holes due to elevation changes. Some blind shots to the greens uphill at times made club selection a challenge. I started on the back tees but moved up to the middle tees after a couple of holes. Tee to green the course was perfect. Would have played it twice if I had more time. Play early to beat the heat this time of year.

Great course

Best course conditions I have seen in a long time. I live in south Texas. Our fairways and greens are not as plush as this course. Greens putted true and I never got a bad lie in any fairway. A really fun course to play. Greens were still challenging. The rough around the greens is sticky and did cause a few of my shots around the green to come up short. If I lived in the area this would be where I would play the most. Paid full price the first round and got a hot deal for the second round.

Excellent Course

This course was in very good condition for this time of the year. Weather was in the 40's and windy when we played. The greens were in great condition and speedier than I am used to playing so it took several holes to get it down. Most fairways had slope to them so aiming to the correct side is a must. Got a lot of roll in the fairways since the grass hasn't really started growing yet. Challenging course with the current conditions. Would be a great course to play later in the golfing season.

Great Course

The only thing keeping me from giving the course 5 stars is the condition of the greens. They were aerated and sanded the morning just before I played. Made putting a challenge and cost me several strokes. Otherwise the course was in excellent condition. Will play again when I'm back in the area.

Challenging course

Very tough course if you're game is off. Requires accuracy off the tee. The rough is thick making it difficult to find your ball if you happen to end up in it. I was paired with two guys that were playing the blues so I did as well. Wish I would have played the combo tees or the white tees as the round would have been more enjoyable for my game. Shot the highest score in 20 years on this golf course. The course was in excellent shape with greens rolling true.

Great challenge for this mid-capper

Played on July 16th at 10:48 after getting a Golf Now hot deal for $35. This was my first time playing the course but luckily I was paired with 3 others that had. Played the combo tees which seemed pretty fair based on my handicap and shorter driving distance. The starter gave me a tip to play whatever club gets you in position for the hole. It won't be driver most of the time. Got myself in trouble a few times using driver and 3 wood as well! It was very challenging if you get out of position as I did on several holes. The long par 3 13th was one of the highlights of my round. Hit over the green by 5 yards then pitched the ball in for birdie from below the level of the green. All areas around the greens were in great condition which allowed for good ball contact. There were a few areas on the fairways that didn't have much grass on them and affected my ability to make good contact with the ball. It is the middle of the summer in the desert however. Greens are fast if you get above the hole. Had to hit close to the front of the green to keep the ball from running off the back. Don't know how the bunkers are since I amazingly did not have to hit out of any of them. Ended up shooting and 89 which is better than I thought my score would be. Overall great golfing experience that I will remember for a long time.
