Excellent shape. Most improved.

Most improved course of 2024. New greens looking healthy and way better than last year. Rest of course is also in fantastic shape. Other recent reviews are on point. Worth the drive from the city. Highly recommend.

Wish it was in better shape

Nice layout but terrible condition of fairways and tee boxes. Would be a great course if just in better shape. Greens are decent. Nice friendly staff. Long drive on surface streets from freeway if not from area.

Holes 4 and 5 closed due to flooding

TeeOff, GolfNow and course does not mention holes 4 and 5 closed due to flooding from ruptured water line. Won’t be fixed until March they say but didn’t know until I showed up. Rest of course excellent condition but keep in mind you’ll only get to play 16 holes. Friendly staff and good service.

Very slow. No marshall to maintain pace

Dry dormant brown fairways but decent greens. Challenging elevated layout not for the higher handicapper but all the more reason to have a marshall or staff to keep pace of play somewhat reasonable so everyone can have a good experience. Not a single staff seen the entire round. 2 groups waiting on every tee box. Well over a 5 hour round. The course didn't seem to care once you checked in. Extremely painful process. This was a weekday. Can't imagine a weekend. I know courses seem to think they have the upper hand with the increased demand from Covid but no thanks.

Slow bumpy greens

Fun layout and very challenging with elevation. Beautiful vistas. But greens are terribly slow and bumpy. Running probably a 4 or 5. If they rolled the greens, it would be a great experience. Slow pace almost a 5 hour round.

Good

Good fairways and rough coming out of overseed recently. However, greens are extremely bumpy and slow, below average for area courses. Definitely need to roll them more and speed them up to roll true. Always friendly professional staff and good carts. Good driving range.

6 HOUR ROUND, NO MARSHALLS. DEAD FAIRWAYS

You would hope to never encounter a 6 hour round and those tend to stick out in your mind. This is midweek. I can't imagine a weekend. 3 hour front 9 and we never got close to finishing. Many people left. No marshaling. The fairways were essentially dirt and typical of their winter conditions there. I see it every year and the price point is sort of commensurate. You get what you pay for. The facilities have gone downhill since Covid. Lockers no longer allow showers or the sauna/hot tub. Everything is bare bones and the facilities are dated. Ownership seems to allow just getting by. It's too bad. It used to be a better run facility.

Poor conditioning. Good layout and challenging.

The conditioning of the South course was much worse than I remembered last year. Very bad shape. Big holes and dirt patches everywhere. Just don't know how else to describe it. Greens were fair. Layout is good and challenging but tough to play off dirt and looking out for big holes in ground. The North side conditioning seemed better although I did not play it.

Very slow pace

Very slow pace of play on weekends with no marshal to control groups. 2 group wait on every hole. Pro shop said no marshal but asked cart girl to help regulate play. Really? Nice layout and very challenging but all the more reason to hire someone to regulate speed so all players can enjoy the course more. With Covid, there are more new players to the game but this course is very challenging. We had beginners in front and made for a very long day. Did not finish.

Worse than muni conditions

With the increased revenue courses are getting with full play everyday from Covid, you’d expect better conditions. Dormant to dead brown fairways and big dirt patches everywhere. LA munis seem in better shape. Greens were better, running around 9-10. Pace was around 4:45.

Wow. That bad huh? Thanks for your review. I was about to book a time but decided against it after checking reviews on here. It’s usually pretty nasty around this time of year,. If it gets too much water the course doesn’t drain properly and turns into a mud pile. It also doesn’t overseed like other courses by shutting down so this semi-dormant look is expected for this type of public course with a cheap green fee that doesn’t spend the money to do any maintenance like shutting down during the winter months.

PARKING CHARGE NOW

I've played here over the years and the resort has never charged for parking to the golfers. But since reopening from Covid, they now charge $15 to everyone including golfers so keep that in mind when you go. They also closed the putting and short game practice areas so you can't even warm up. I find it ridiculous when businesses are in need to patronage more than ever from a historic pandemic and you decide to start nickel and diming the few customers you get. There were plenty of parking spaces even before the pandemic. I like the course but not enough to go back.

Ok course

I felt course was pretty typical desert course through a neighborhood. Holes 17 and 18 I felt were the best holes with nice views and layout. The other holes were not that memorable. Greens were not that good with many patchy areas that looked spray painted. They were hard and firm with some inconsistent areas that did not roll true. Staff and service were excellent and very friendly.

Still the best course in the Vegas area

Course is currently in great shape and remains the best course in the Vegas area. No where in the world can you find a Fazio course for this great a value, layout, aesthetics and condition. Pics don't lie. I'd take this over Shadow Creek any day, dollar for dollar. Not even close. Staff is great and plenty of amenities. The practice area is expansive with 2 driving ranges. As a Vegas resident with all the choices I have, I still prefer to make the drive to play here. Can't rave enough about it.

Slow Shaggy Greens

Wonderful layout and beautiful fairways and tee boxes but the green conditions are the downside that left something to be desired in the round. Very slow and bumpy. Like molasses and Velcro. I felt they were the slowest greens I’ve played the last few weeks throughout the valley. Putts just didn’t roll out even downhill. If they improve green conditions to a reasonable speed, this would be a fantastic course and I’d love to come back.

One of the best courses in Vegas

In a town inundated with golf courses, Siena is one of the best. As a local, I've played them all and our golfing group continues to find ourselves keeping this course at the top of our golfing rotation. Most important is condition. The greens are the best. True and fast. Fairways and rough are equally great. They don't close for overseed so it's open year round. I just don't understand how they keep it in such great shape all the time. Next is service. Staff are always respectful and friendly. Club house and facilities are absolutely beautiful. A very private feel at a public course. Grass driving range as well. Lastly, the fees are very reasonable. All in all, a top notch course. Highly recommend.

Immaculate conditions from overseed.

This is always a tough month for golfers in the desert due to overseeding but just wanted to give credit to this course for some fabulous conditions from their overseed.. Never seen anything so immaculate at a public course. Supercedes even private courses. Fantastic challenging layout and views. And no cart path restrictions with 90 degree rule. Highly recommend.

Fantastic gem in Southern California

This course is an oasis in an otherwise drought stricken state literally and figuratively for good and fun golf courses. The layout and views are fantastic and unique. Fun elevation changes in an old quarry I assume. Great conditions and reasonable fees. Friendly staff and starter. Excellent service. This place does it right and has the course to back it up. Great to add to a Palm Springs or Vegas road trip. Definitely adding this to my rotation. Highly recommend.

The DMV of golf

I'm always torn playing here. It's got some beautiful holes and vistas but you can never get into a rhythm with a pace of play around 5 to 6 hours depending on the day of week. Always a wait for 1-2 groups after every hole and usually around a 5-10 minute wait after every shot. 5 somes are standard crammed as close as possible. Start times are rarely on time and forget about the weekend. Bring a good book and zen mediation techniques to help your patience because you're in for a long day. On the plus side, the staff are friendly but at the end of the day, you are in southern California where the population far exceeds the public course availability. Just like the nonstop grueling traffic on the 405, this course is a microcosm of LA life. If you can accept that or are numb to it, then you'll be fine playing here. But if you're used to steady golf in other cities or private clubs at a pace of 4-4.5 hours, this will be a more disappointing experience. In the crazy hot matrix, this is probably in the danger zone.
