Pleasantly Surprised

I have played Trilogy at Vistancia several times in the past 5 years. I enjoy the layout, but it has been quite dry with several bare spots in the fairways and rough...especially during the summer months. Not this year. The course was in the best condition that I have seen it...period. I understand that they have a new Course Superintendent...he is doing a heckuva job!

First Class

Course conditions were excellent - these are some of the best greens you will ever play. The layout is challenging. There is considerably more room off the tee than it appears, but the greens and approach shot positioning are very demanding. There have also been many additions to the amenities since my last visit - restaurant, bar, clubhouse, etc. Staff was very helpful and friendly. My only negative comment is that they need to have drinking water on the course. Overall an excellent experience and good value.

Good Track, No Tricks

Straight-forward layout with some length and challenge, but no tricks. 7000 yards from the tips, water in play on a few holes, good bunkering, and large greens. Conditions were lush, and the greens were firm and rolled true with decent pace. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent value at $19 after 10am. I will certainly be back.

Sundance

Conditions were okay. The greens were in pretty good shape, but not overly fast - certainly better than the practice green. The fairways were a bit shaggy, but the turf was lush. The layout is good. The par 3's are solid. There are 4 or 5 holes where the desert bisects the fairway, so having GPS would help in knowing whether to lay-up for go over it. All-in-all a good value.

Worth the Drive

The overall layout was challenging, but fair. Course conditions were generally very good. The greens were fast and firm, and very large. Very accommodating staff got us out in front of a junior tournament. Despite a below average pace, it was a great day. I will definitely be back.

Can't trust some reviews

Having played this course 4 months ago, and experiencing excellent conditions then, I was quite disappointed to read recent reviews about poor condition of the greens. I played anyway since the $25 online green fee was something that I couldn't turn down for a layout of this quality. The recent reviews were DEAD WRONG. The greens were firm and smooth....not quite as fast as winter when the bermuda was dormant, but still had plenty of pace considering the size and slope of most of the greens. Overall conditions were very good! Nice practiice facility too. The $1 draft at the 19th hole just for filling out a Troon Survey puts this one over the top.

Pleasant Surprise

Enjoyed the lay-out...fair, short, but some challenge. The conditions were good overall. The greens were not fast, but rolled true. Having played the sister course of Great Eagle, this is obviously the better looking sister! The shotgun start did not help pace...all groups were backed up on 4-5 holes.

Great Greens

The Pro Shop staff were very welcoming to non-Members. The practice facility is quite nice. 'The course was in very good overall condition, and the greens were excellent...firm, fast and true. The only minor complaint was that the bunkers had very little sand on top of the firm base...use a low-bounce sand wedge if you play here.

Flying Blind on the Front Side

Overall, I enjoyed the course. Pace was great as we finished in 3 hours, playing through one group and waiting a bit on the last 3 holes. Conditions were good considering that they were 1.5 weeks off over-seed. The back nine was in better shape than the front, and it was a much better set of holes than the front. Plenty of challenge, but not long, except for the par 3's which played 245 and 228 from the back tees. The front side is tight, which isn't necessarily a problem, but there were too many blind tee shots for my liking...very difficult to score on the front without having played it a time or two.

Great Shape

The course was in excellent overall condition. The greens are now very nice...firm and fast...although being brand new they did not hold shots well. The staff went out of their way to make use feel welcome...the ice towels at the turn and after the round were a nice touch.

Nice Track - will play it again

Enjoyable layout. Not overly difficult, but still plenty of challenge. Course was in good condition tee to green, but the greens were punched in the morning right before my tee time. My only complaint is that neither the GolfNow posting, nor the Pro Shop informed me of that before paying or heading out to the course. I guess that why I got a $10 rate, but it still would have been good to know. The overall facility is very nice.

Greens are back!

Having played this course in February when the greens were horrible, I was a bit reluctant to go back just as the rebuilt greens were finished, but my fears were not warranted. The greens were firm, smooth and quick.. Shots released a bit,, but that is expected for new greens. The rest of the course was in great shape... better than most in the Valley. The staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome...cold towels at the turn and after the round were a nice touch!

Pace f play was fine - finished in 3.5 hours. Conditions were good - a bit over watered, but the greens were fairly firm and had a good pace to them. Good value this time of year.

Nice Track - will play it again

Really enjoyed the layout. The practice green seemed a bit slow, but once we encountered the severe slopes on the course greens we could see why. They rolled fine, but if they were much faster the average player would really struggle. Pace was very good...our 3-some waited a bit, but finished in less than 3:30. The only complaint is that the back (black) tees are neglected...few were cut recently, and some had overgrown trees/limbs that were unfair. I understand from members that nobody plays those tees, and it shows...unfortunately we played them. Having said that, I will be back.

Not a Fan

Pace of play was fairly slow...two tee starts, and the typical Sun City 5-somes. What was described as undulating greens really means stupid severe back-to-front slopes...some with 6-8 feet of elevation change. I hear they are shutting this one down to re-do the course this Fall...good idea.

First-timer

Overall a good test. There is a mix of short and long par 4's, and a few reachable par 5's. Plenty of room off the tee, but pay attention to the starter regarding #3 and #6. A yardage book or GPS would also help with distance to/over fairway bunkers (I only used a laser). Good shot-making opportunities into the greens. The green surfaces were firm with with relatively gentle breaks, and good pace. Greenside bunkers were very playable. The layout could use a little more variety on the par 3's. I will definitely be back!
