Fun layout.

Good to see course operational again. Bunkers are in need of regular maintenance. Greens cup cutter is in dire need of sharpening. Nice mixture of Par 4's & Par 3's for Par 60 total.

Seeing improvements.

I can see efforts of improvements and hope this continues. The Tom Doak design is a hidden gem. Turf conditions could use some attention especially with the over watering of the greens and approaches. There is no bouncing the ball onto the greens with the wetness. Greens putt surfaces have shown improvement and roll nicely. Rudy from outside services is one of a kind and is a real plus to the operation. Cristina is the GM and has a great vision for the course. Keep up the good work.

Continued improvement

Improvements are very visible with turf on greens and selected fairways. Greens are very receptive to approach shots and putting surfaces are excellent. Greens and approaches are extremely wet and could be improved with some attention to how much water is applied. New carts with GPS is a nice improvement also. Keep up the good work.

Architectural masterpiece.

This course is easily one of my favorites in all of Arizona as it is an architectural masterpiece. It has made strides in condition improvement with irrigation repairs and bunker improvements. Unfortunately the fairways are suffering from Jackrabbit infestation Wish something could be done to control the Jackrabbits rutting up the fairways. Greens have made progress and they putt fantastic. Some bad spots on some greens but less visible than before. Even with shortcomings the course is very playable and always fun to play.

Always fun to play.

Very playable course with Par 65. Interesting greens that require accurate placement of your ball to avoid severe sloping on many greens. Fairways are coming out of Winter and seem to be getting better since last time I played.

Improving every time we play.

This course is getting better every time we play. Greens have always been awesome and now the fairways, bunkering etc. are improving. This is a real gem that is always fun to play. Recommend playing from appropriate tees for more enjoyment. 7500 yards is only for a small percentage of players. Rudy simply is an amazing staff member who could be one of the best outside services staff I have ever met. He is beyond great and a true ambassador to Apache Stronghold.

First time playing Las Calinas

I liked the layout with many nice holes. Looks like a high number of rounds are being recorded here as the course could use some attention. Tee boxes were well worn, many ball marks on greens and some soap and water on carts could go a long way to improving the operation.
