Perhaps a top NW course

You get views up and down the Columbia Gorge, somewhat distracting from what is a very nice golf course. Most greens are undulating, so not for those don't appreciate that. They have cut down the areas outside the rough; much harder to lose a ball than before. Not many climbs, so an easy course to walk.

Nice desert layout

Cool day with sunbreaks and windbreaks; this course is probably windier towards the end of any day. Nice spacing between holes, good green conditions, provides good shot options, and nice variation of designs. Would like to play it again, but earlier in the day.

Needs attention

Cart GPS has correct holes, but course has been re-routed so the tees start at the back. Dormant grass has been painted to demarcate the fairways. Greens are smooth, fast, and have breaks that are large but easily read by the skilled player. Cart paths and the junk around the course need to be addressed. Casino personnel are hostile.

Fred Couples design

Fades off the tee; sharp breaks around the hole, with exceptions to catch you unwary

Nice views of the countryside

Several fairways have intrusive trees and there's a par-3 with a blind tee shot. Greens aerated 3 weeks ago but not in great shape.

No surprises

Mostly open and nicely manicured; OB easily in play on a few holes; fairly sticky bent grass rough. Housing not too intrusive.

Great deal

This was posted as twice around the back 9 for $19, but was actually the whole 18. The front 9 is nice, but the back goes along the ocean and has terrific views. Most approach shots are the only real challenge.

Challenging and fun

The back 9 is much more difficult than the front. Greens were recently sanded, but have nice shapes and they don't seem to put the pins in ridiculous positions. Fairways are very well kept.

Fun and challenging enough

Lots of tee shots between or over trees. Nicely kept greens, altho they were very soft after recent rain.

Nice scenery, well maintained

This isn't an oceanside course, but it doesn't cost like they do. Very quick round for weekend golf in California.

Challenging but fair

Trees and bunkers in play if you make the wrong shot. Lots of workers on the course. Great value.
