Nice day
The course was ok, no real faults. Plenty of water hazards and greens were quick. Good day to get started since we are snowbirds.

Great Layout. Good price
The course was in pretty good shape, but a little ratty around the bunker edges and really thin around the greens. The greens were great and very fast. Pace of play for 4 of us was 4 hrs on the nose. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Hitting range balls off of mats is a negative, but they are trying to save the range grass. For the price it was a decent value.
