Peace and Quiet

Played Furnace Creek twice while in Death Valley the team members were helpful and peace and quiet of this course was great! Shot more Photos than I did on my round of Golf thanks to Jon...Head pro for his excellent PR ! Great round of Golf!

It was extremely windy the power had gone out so there was no restaurant open which we had looked forward to. Other than that it is a lovely course.

Unique location

Desert oasis, below sea level, surrounded by mountains (some snow-capped), literally in the middle of nowhere :-)

Oasis in the Desert

Course was in better condition than when I played it 2 years ago. They do not overseed for the winter so you play on somewhat dormant Bermuda grass. They do heavily water the Bermuda to keep things fairly green so you may find a few "slog" areas in the fairways.Greens are slightly bumpy but putt fine. Considering the harsh conditions that this golf course deals with during the summer months the condition during the winter months is remarkable.

Unique location

Such a unique place to golf. Fairways were fast with lots of bounce. Greens were slower than they appear. The pub was closed so not a great 19th hole experience. But wonderful relaxing game.

Great fun

Fairways in great condition, greens are painted but generally in very good condition. We had standing water a few places after atmospheric river .
All employees we interacted with were friendly.
Found this to be a fun desert course with oustanding scenery.

Nice course

I expected the course to be nice because I had seen the pictures. Well, it is! I was surprised by the lack of distance--a lot of that is me, but I'm improving. The below sea level seems to take a lot out of the ball. The staff was very friendly and the pro shop recently moved to a larger location. It looked to be very well stocked.
