The Pines has a nice layout but the conditions have deteriorated tremendously. There is no sand in most bunkers, the “rough” is patchy, the fairways are ill defined, and the tee boxes are scratchy. The greens are the only part of the course that is in decent shape. The greens fees are twice what the course is worth. Stay away until they get their act together.

This course has a nice layout but the conditions are deplorable. The fairways are bare, the rough is mostly dirt, and the greens are bumpy and inconsistent. I was very disappointed and embarrassed to bring a guest to play. Renault is investing into the wedding venue and not the course. The green fees are twice what should be charged. The owners should be ashamed.

The course was a quagmire. There were no rangers managing pace of play. The tees should have been placed commensurate with the course conditions. If the course is soaked and the ball plugs into the fairways or rough, shorten the tees because the average golfer cannot deal with these conditions. The management should be ashamed of themselves. What are they doing? You have to make the player’s experience as best as possible despite wet conditions. Other courses can do that. Why can’t Avalon?

We played in 90 plus degree temperatures and there was no beverage service on the course! Dangerous! The water at the stations are lukewarm and there is no ice to be found. Unacceptable. COVID-19 doesn’t live in ice. There is no reason scientifically why ice is no longer provided on the carts. And when it is 90 plus degrees in the desert, you must provide beverage service and ice. Very disappointed.

The course was a quagmire. It should have been closed! 90% of the bunkers had multiple inches of standing water. They all need to be redone. The cart path was flooded in several area. The fairways are abysmal. There are real problems with this course. It needs a lot of maintenance.

The greens are so slow that the course is unplayable to anyone but a beginner. It was soaked and ruts were all over the course. The greens keeper should be ashamed of himself. Weeds on the fairways? Are you kidding me?!! Tee boxes with grass so high that unless you have 31/2 inches tees, you can’t launch the ball. I am sick of this course being in the shape for a beginner but charging premium prices. Management must make a change! Do not play this course! That is the only way a change will happen.

Fairways brown, hard as rock, dusty. Course virtually unplayable. Should close for season until bermuda regrows
