Expensive but enjoyable

Rates at this course have increased substantially over the last few years. Getting Hot Deals helped bring the price down to make the price reasonable. The layout is challenging and the course is well maintained.

Always Fun Course

Played this course many times and it is always fun. It was a little dry in spots but still very playable.

OK course for the money.

Didn't know what to expect as the price was somewhat low for the area. Upon seeing the course, it became clear that there was a reason why. While the fairways and greens were in decent shape, the rough was what I would call scruffy. Mostly dirt and scrub brush but still difficult to locate balls that were offline. We were paired with another couple who walked while we took a cart. The course was pretty flat, and we could have easily walked too.

Challenging but fun course

While this course is very hilly most of the fairways and greens are somewhat forgiving. The course staff were all very helpful and accommodating. The course was busy but not overcrowded and we played in a little under 4 hours. Very good experience and would definitely do it again.

Outstanding Course

A bit out of the way from San Diego but well worth the drive. The course was in great shape for this time of year. I would play this course very often if I lived anywhere near it. My playing partner had lost a few balls, and he felt the course was more difficult for him.

Always fun course to play

Played the course 6 times in 3 weeks while in Puerto Vallarta. Tried to book with Hot Deals but every time they tacked on sales tax and fees that they don't charge on other tee times. Practically no advantage at all. Always fun to play this course with the crocidile holes. A little short staffed but the people who did work really hustled to keep things moving.

Very spending but fun and challenging

Played once for $250 early and another time at noon for $189. A little expensive for this course The second round we were stuck in the middle of a tournament and had to rush to get through the first 4 holes because they were having a shotgun start on holes 1-4 behind us and also on holes 14-18 in front of us.

Interrupted Round

We had a medical emergency that required an ambulance before we finished the round. Up until that point we loved the course. The course staff were extremely helpful in getting medical people to us on the course which was very difficult given the terrain.

Probably Not Fair To Review Now

The course was getting ready to close for a few weeks to complete their annual overseeding. The guy at the proshop said he was warning people as they made t-times. However the information was no provided to me when I made a reservation through Golf Now. If I had known I would not have played. To be fair the course might be totally different once the overseeding is finished.

Fun 9 hole course

A little off the beaten track but fun course. Pretty flat but very walkable in 2 hours. Enough trees traps and dog legs to make it interesting.

Run course to play

Only complaint was that they kept sending out singles and twosomes behind us. We had 3 in our group, and they put a single with us on the first tee. Fortunately, the guy dropped when his buddies showed up. Seems logical they could have paired some of those other groups to smooth out the pace of play and not make us feel rushed to stay ahead of them.

Very good value for the money

We liked everything about this course except that there was no water on the course. Explanation was that they had taken everything down in preparation for overseeding which apparently is standard for Phoenix area courses. Would be fun to come back in November after the grass is grown out.

This course was very busy.

The staff kept everyhing running like clockwork. Tee times were 9 minutes apart and people ready to go when their turn came. We were a foursome but nobody was pushing us and we seldom had to wait for the group in front of us. Even though they are getting ready to overseed the course it was still in really good shape. Excellent value for the money.

Hard to imagine a more idyllic setting

Gorgeous looking course. Beautiful snow capped mountains in background. Fairways had been mowed but were stll too long, balls barely off were hard to find. Some greens were very dry with dead spots. Cart paths available for only some holes making it hard to find next tee box. Was told their mower was broken and they were sort staffed so spme of the maintenance maybe attributable to that.

Just ok course.

The bunkers on the front 9 were very hard with little sand. Hitting off the fairway put you on hard ground on many of the holes. Good driving range and practice greens.

Very good course for the money.

Very impressed with the care of this course. They used the pin placements to make the greens a little more challenging. The fairways are very green but if you got off the fairway the ground was dry which made it a little difficult to use a lofted club.

Friendly and accommodating staff.

Fun par 3 course that was good for tuning up short game. Finished in 3 hours flat despite being held up on the last 3 holes.
