Staff:
The pro shop staff were extremely unfriendly and h helpful. When asked where the range was I was told to “go outside and I’ll see it”. I didn’t. It was my first time there and the range is not near the Pro shop.

The starter was extremely rude. We were putting right next to our tee 5 minutes before our tee time when he began yelling our names. We walked over to him and he said we are supposed to be in our carts and ready to off 5 minutes before hand. Mind you, the group ahead of us were all taking 2-3 off the tee and we’re still on the tee box.

The grounds crew doesn’t care if you’re putting, approaching. or driving. The worst one was on hold 5 where the man mowing the grass literally mowed the fringe of the green we were putting on blowing grass right into us, causing us both to have an allergy attack.

Pace of play:

Plan for a 5-6 hour round. There’s no marshall to keep people moving and they well over-sell their tee times. I knew it was busy, but when we finally finished our seemingly never ending round there was no less than 50 people waiting on a cart so they could play.

Conditions:

The course looks phenomenal. Very green. Nice fairways and nice greens. Greens are slow, but not soft. Bunkers are not sand. It’s essentially just gravel with large rocks all throughout it and the lips are either dead or dying.

Amenities:

The range was like hitting off of the second cut and the balls were horribly overused. No bathrooms on the course - just port-o-potty’s. Yep. In the desert. And they absolutely smell as bad you imagine.

All in all, I paid $140 to play here and was highly dissatisfied the course is worth about $40. I played the far superior Escena Golf Club the day before for the same price.

Save your money and time. Find a better course.

We started on the tips (blues). The golf shop manager came out and yelled “that’s a lot of golf course from there boys” right in front of the clubhouse, and a few dozen golfers.

At the turn, we stopped in for a snack and a few drinks and was greeted by the rudest bartender/waitress I’ve ever met. After standing at the counter for a few minutes, she finally sees us, rolls her eyes, comes to wait on us. It apparently was a problem being that she was incredibly rude and acted like we were an inconvenience to her morning.

Course conditions were spectacular for the money. But the staff is terrible.

Having readable greens is super important to me. Bartram’s greens were nearly perfect. And the fairways were carpet.

This course used to be one of my favorites for the price. However, this is my first time playing it this season and man has it gone downhill. Nothing like hitting a perfect drive just to find your ball in the middle of fairway on nothing but sand. No grass. Greens were disease ridden and underwatered. They literally crunched under my feet. Will not play here again.

Pace was of play was our only complaint. Ended up having to skip 8 and 9 and circled back around after 18 with permission from club house. It took us 2 hours to play 1-7 due to the players ahead of us. 2 walking groups totaling 9 players.

Overall, the course was in good shape. However, the greens were a bit hairy and soft. Even a 10 foot putt had to be putted at almost twice the power because of the condition of the greens.
