Beautiful course - tough water holes

We had a great round. The course was in Immaculate condition. We started early so the pace of play was excellent, finishing in less than 4 hours with a threesome.

Tournment Play

The course seamed like the greens keeper might of had a bad week. The pin placement on many greens were in very difficult positions and on more than one occasion it was next to impossible to keep the ball on the green if you missed the put. Nice fairways with difficult rough. Last 3 holes 16,17& 18 were number 6, 4 & 2 handicap holes. Mentally worn out by the end but all that said it was still a great day playing golf.

Cheers

Bring extra balls!

Super fun course, challenging with several water holes.
The only issue of note was the conditions of the greens. They were very very hard. Land a ball on it and they do not stick. Nor a single divot mark on any of ‘em.
The sand traps are insane!
Looking forward to playing there again.

Beautiful but challenging course

The course has huge fairways and massive greens. It is not a resort course. It has beautiful views from every hole. If you are not an experienced golfer DF would not be fun. There are many long carries and a lot of blind shots.

Since DF is open to the public, the course could use some directional signage. And fairway markers.

We will play again.

Good Shape

Course conditions and pace of play was excellent.
Some very long par 4’s my wife didn’t care for.
The shape of several greens is odd as you can be on the green by can’t putt without going through the ruff.

Desert Falls

Decent track, greens were good, fairways a little bare in places. A bit pricey for what you get. Happy to pay up elsewhere for better quality.

GPS or signage needed

For those new to the course it can be a challenge to find the next tee or the green ahead. It slows down play.
