Love me please

You can tell that this was once a great course. The lay out is great, it’s having a tough time right now. Play the course with an open mind, the greens are in great shape but just imagine your playing a Links course in the desert and you will be fine. Enjoyed my round.

Greens don’t look great, but they roll very true. Course is tired looking, but it’s an interesting layout, good views and a good test. Fairways are patchy, but if you accept that going in and move your ball onto grass it’s perfectly fine. Carts are in good working order. It’s perfectly acceptable course.

The course was in ok condition, very dry though.

My wife and I went around and it was very slow, no Marshall’s, but maybe they don’t have any. The greens were actually not too bad, quite fast. Fairways were pretty dry, not sure how much they water. Bunkers were not too bad.
Overall I don’t think I’ll go back, but if you’re looking for a inexpensive round, and you’re not worried about how long it takes this is the course.

Do not play

This is an awful course. It is so run down. We think it is going to go bankrupt. Sorry to see it in such disrepair!

Terrible Course

This was the worst course I’ve played in 10+ years. The course had little to no grass in the fairways and traps were hard as a rock. I would not recommend. Pay the extra $20 to $40 and play a nice course..

Course needs TLC

The course has great potential, however, it was in poor condition. Several greens (and a few tees) were damaged due to hydraulic fluid from the mowers. A lot of the fairways were just dirt. It’s a fun layout but needs a lot of work.

Bang for your buck

Course needs some tender loving care. Played her 2 years ago and the course was amazing. Weather and time have exposed some needs. Still a bargain.

Good value

Nice layout. Pretty tame course. Greens in excellent condition. Hole 10 modified from par 5 to 3. Nice course if you aren’t looking for a premium experience good value for $59 per round on a Friday morning

Nice Layout

Great layout with strong par 3s. Greens were in excellent condition but tee boxes and fairways were dry and unkept. Course was adversely affected by recent winter storms.

Course needs work, but OK value

As others have noted, this course has had some weather damage and hole #10 is playing as a par 3 (supposed to be par 5). Bunkers very hard packed, some damage to fairways and greens.
It could be a nice course, lots of water hazards and an interesting layout. Greens generally pretty good. Staff was friendly, easy to get a tee time and reasonable cost.
If you don’t expect too much this could be an OK choice.

I was disappointed.

I think the course is not well maintained. The distance between some of the holes was long and the signage was not very clear, especially after the 18th hole and trying to get back to the clubhouse.

The course was just not aesthetically pleasing, was very dusty and distance markers were non-existent.

I was just very disappointed in the course, even though the staff was very, very nice

Course in Terrible Condition

We knew from the reviews that course was not in good condition, but we were led to believe that was only a couple of holes. Not true. The monsoon really washed out too many fare ways. Greens were poor and sand traps were unusable. Course should be closed until it can be repaired.
