Great Value for fun, challenging course

The fairways and greens are in excellent condition. The greens run very true. Some challenging holes with water and some sand. Pace of play was excellent. Staff are incredibly friendly. Only minor issues - brush trimming happening on 9th hole blasted us with noise and dust - work should be done before golfers arrive. One of our carts ran out of power so had to call in replacement which happened very quickly. We understand new carts on the way! Overall excellent price and experience for a good course. We will be back!

Fairways and greens were fantastic.
Water hazards are beautiful and came into play
The rough was mostly dead sage grass and not well maintained - so hit in in the fairway
The majority of the bunkers are waste bunkers with footprints, tire tracks and some empty bottle
Don't go if you need a fancy clubhouse - but a really nice course with friendly staff

Course designed to help keep balls in play

Course Rough sloped inward to direct errant balls back towards fairways. Makes course very forgiving for weekend warriors who may not be as accurate on all shots. Would definitely recommend

Nice course but carts were poor

The course was nice and staff friendly. The carts were old with torn up seats and the gps systems were an afterthought that worked intermittently. For the green fees I expected more. Bring a range finder.

Solid round

Played out here recently- course is in spectacular condition- greens are fast (heard folks saying how fast the greens were) but not crazy country club speeds. So I thought them really fair. Everything else was in really good shape. Driving range- free- and grass - so huge plus.
Carts have seen better days - most of the seats torn up would really be the only course complaint.
Pace was super slow they let me off as a single and I waited on 14 holes on a threesome that was waiting on some other folks - not a big deal for me as I was there to hit golf balls so I just played two balls per hole and had a great time.
When compared to other courses locally its a great deal for around $100. (again comparing it to courses in the desert not elsewhere) High season everything is $150 or more.

Fun course

Great greens and fairways, bermuda is still dormant so does not look so good.’
Staff is great, just wish golf and its dynamic pricing would go away, valley golf is way overpriced.

Hi hum

Might have been a great course when first opened but the course is not well maintained. Lots of bare spots, holes in the “rough” which was mainly bare earth. No overseeing of Rye in the rough. Greens were decent and the rocks and water features were nice.

Poorly managed

Overall a decent course in ok condition. Greens suffer from players not repairing pitch marks . There were no balls in several of the bays on the driving range and play was ridiculously slow..
Too much competition in the desert to return
Sorry but that's a fair summary
