Could be better

I've seen this course on TV commercials and it looked great. My son and I arrived and realized very quickly this is a goat track. The course was in terrible condition and we quit our round early and left after 12 holes. I was very disappointed for the money we paid and the drive we made to get there.

Great Course, you'll love it.

This was the first time my foursome played here and we all instantly fell in love with it. It was in great condition, affordable and just a really playable course. It is plenty wide for those who like to spray it from time to time and yet playable for the shorter hitters. Greens were goid sized and in super shape. We all can't wait to play it again. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic Course

This was the best course I have played in a very long time. Fairways are the very best I have seen, absolutely perfect. Greens were firm, but held shots, no ball marks, fantastic condition. Bunkers, yes I found a few and the sand was excellent, light and fluffy, not packed mud like many courses. Tee to Green, this was an absolute joy and I can't wait to get back there. I highly recommend this place and hats off to the course workers, great job!

Nicely designed course

My son and I played this course on July 4th, a day after a major monsoon storm dumped over an inch of rain on the course. The course handled it very well and only had a couple of standing water areas, but that would be expected. This course was really fun for me, it had its challenges; however was also very fair if you played your shots right. Greens rolled true and held approach shots pretty well. From the East valley, it's a bit of a drive; however I would recommend the drive as this is a nice change from all the desert courses we normally play. I liked that the course was not overloaded with bunkers. They were there, but you had options on each hole to avoid them or be challenged to hit over them. I will definitely go back.

Great Course

I loved this course. This was my first time to play and I'm already planning on going back. The course has 5 different tee boxes that works for any skill level. The back 9 has some awesome elevated tee shots which makes it really fun. The greens were very good and soft enough to stop approach shots. Can't wait to go back.

Excellent Course

My son and I played this course yesterday and truly enjoyed it. We decided to play from the back tees as my son is a longer hitter and we were definitely challenged on many of the tee shots. You had to thread the needle so to speak from the back tees so it made it really fun. Another nice difference of this course is there are no bunkers which was wonderful for a change. I definitely plan on playing this course again in the near future. The greens were in pristine condition, not chewed up and full of ball marks like many of the courses here this time of year. If you're looking for a nice round of golf, I recommend this little gem.
