No food or beverages

We went to this course knowing it would be an "ok" course but what we weren't prepared for was the lack of any food or drinks at all. We called in the 9th hole to get food at the turn only to learn the chef wasn't even there and that they had no snacks, no food and no drinks at all. The greens are in terrible shape and the fairways are not well kept either. The staff was great but was told there's a new group taking over and thus nothing is being done. Very disappointing.

The course was poorly maintained and needs a lot of work, for the money it was just ok.

Always the best at El Cariso

For waiting just a few minutes for a cart, the always friendly crew at El Cariso were quck to offer a free bucket while waiting. That is why this is my favorite course. They always go the extra step and are super nice. The way golf should be.

The best course in town

Today my putter (my favorite prized putter fell off the cart due to user error, and the staff were all so helpful in helping to find it, and really saved the day for me. This is my favorite place to be where the people are so friendly, real golf heaven!
