The course was wide open off the tee allowing an aggressive golfer to let loose. The greens were large and rolled true. And the mountains in the distance provided a nice distraction when my swing wasn’t cooperating. The back nine was much prettier than the front as water really came into play on the majority of the holes. For $160 per round, the price is high in comparison to others nearby. I would play again if I found a deal pushing the green fees closer to $80-100.

I am a 10 index who travels to the desert a few times per year for golf weekends. My favorite tracks in the desert are Escena, Mountain Course, Stadium, both Indian Wells courses and Firecliff at Desert Willow.

I happened upon this course several years ago and now it is a must stop on every desert golf trip I make (I do 2-3 golf trips per year to the desert). The location is perfect for LA travelers as it is about the closest great layout to LA. As for the course, each hole provides a unique challenge especially when the wind picks up. Both holes 1 and 18 take three big hits to reach the par five greens in regulation. All pars three require a different club, with only one allowing for a high iron. Finally, the greens are huge, so the approach shot must be correct. For $80, this is one of the better deals in the desert.
