A really nice course made to look and play not so nice
First the good--the layout is wonderful with plenty of variety. Lots of trees--unusual for a desert course--so wayward shots require more than just a desert club for recovery. Staff were universally friendly and welcoming, though I think they were short staffed as there was nobody manning the bag drop or the snack bar at the turn nor was there a beverage cart out on a beautiful day with a full tee sheet. Course maintenance was lacking, and that is my biggest gripe about the course. Tee boxes were very hard (you shouldn't be breaking tees inserting them in the ground, for goodness sake!) and somewhat shaggy. Fairways were generally in good shape though, again, pretty shaggy. Greens were very slow, though in good shape. Bunkers varied but most we encountered were fairly hard and could use either more sand or some digging up to loosen the existing sand. The rough was, well, rough. Lots of weeds, long grass, bare spots, rodent holes, etc. There are lots of beautiful palm trees on the course that have clearly been neglected for years as the "beards" of old palm fronds indicate (I'll bet mine won't be the only ball found if they ever get trimmed). I scored well for me so maybe that affects my opinion of the course. But unless conditions improve I can't really see myself making the drive out to play this course again.
Disappointing
Played this course a couple of years ago and it's in even worse condition. I don't think any money is being put back into it. Looked like fairways were cut only even 2nd or 3rd day as they were shaggy. Gopher holes and weeds all over the course. Certainly not worth the green fees they're asking. Would rather spend my money at Mission Royale golf course.
Hard Knocks
The course was dry and hard. If you book online with Golf Now expect to get their second-hand golf carts! lol For the most part we had a good time, but be prepared for your shots to bound for a few extra yards.
Brucer
Need to get a hold of the gopher holes. Overall course is in decent shape a d we enjoyed our round
Great place to play golf
This course can prove to be a great challenge with rewards for good shots. Love this course.
Disappointing
Pictures and course description made it sound like a well maintained golf course. It might have been nice 20 years ago, but now it is pretty rough. Greens were ok.
