It's a trip out there.
Very wide and frankly little challenge. The greens roll well with modest slopes.
I would not go again as I found it hard to take seriously.

Its a good layout but;
- greens were slow
- NO GPS on carts but lots of hazards - a yardage book in small print is not helpful
- pin positions sheet: white numbers on a yellow/while background - a joke.

Its not in great shape and is packed in. This maybe OK for high handicappers but no strong golf memory of Arrowhead.

I really enjoyed my round. It starts a little open and easy (like the sister course) but gets a bit tighter earlier. In fact this 18 switches it up well -easy/tough. The traps are not deep and there is little water but it does make you think and each hole is very separate from the others + no houses. The Par 5 (11th) is a brute into the prevailing wind! The greens are (like the sister course) very fast and quite sloppy - look out!

I would probably rate 3.75 for the course as it was not quite what I expected and not that appealing to me. If you bomb it from the tee you will be fine as there is virtually no trouble off the tee. Approaches into tricky greens are key. The green surfaces undulate but not crazily and the roll is true and fast. The back nine is more picturesque than the front. 3 of 4 Par 3 holes are long and tough.
With the course conditions and reasonable rate I would recommend.

Super layout and friendly staff. Every hole interesting.
It appears to have run out of cash - greens were poor color and don't putt well, no defined collars on greens. Tees/bunkers in poor shape, as was the rest of the course .
The design is great(although most holes favor a fade - thanks Jack) and I would play again and go further back on the tees but while its the height of the season conditioning is poor and the $180 is not value. Staff very friendly/helpful.
