Augusta of the West

I loved this lace. It was challenging! First time I broke 100 on a course I’ve never played before. The place reminds me of Augusta National with all the flowers, water and bridges. The difference is you have mountains in the background.

Beautiful Course-Friendly staff

From the moment you arrive until you leave the staff make you feel very welcome. The course is visually stunning. One of the most attractive to the eye I’ve played. It’s a good test and I would play again if the opportunity comes up

Beautiful Course - staff is amazing except pro shop manager today

Beautiful course - would love to come back but will not because of my experience with pro shop desk employee. He was rude and inconsiderate. You would think +200$ round of golf in off season 100 degree temps they would appreciate your support. Not so today .

An oasis in the desert

This golf facility never disappoints. And the city
Continues to support it with annual upgrades.
The check in to tee off is done right and they didn’t cut staff due to the summer months… the course was immaculate….. every inch of was groomed and the blow the grass off the fairways and rough after cutting … not many courses have such attention to detail… course marshall was polite and engaged…. Constantly on the course …. We played in 3:30 on a tight course ….. don’t miss it…. Could be the best in the public/semi private space

The gnats killed my round!

I would have given this course 5 Stars across the board had I not been eaten alive by gnats on the back nine. It's really hard to play golf, let alone enjoy oneself when there are bugs in your eyes and flying up your nose. Gotta change fertilizers!

The customer service from the staff here is well worth the green fee alone

Great customer service at this course. The staff was super friendly and attentive all while working in 100+ degree weather. Course was challenging but beautiful. Would definitely play here again.

GOLFERS DREAM IN THE DESERT

This course was well maintained with friendly staff and amazing facility. From pulling up to the bag drop & valet to finishing 18 holes, this course was everything I could dream of. I would totally recommend this course and I cannot wait to come back.
