Afternoon tee time with above average temps and a cloudless sky. Recently opened for the season, the course looked great.

The snowbirds are gone and so is the watering schedule. Holes from burrowing animals add to course difficulty and not in a good way.

The course is pretty straight-forward, bur rhe mountains in the background arre a nice distraction. Greens were fast and the drought has had some affect.

Mid-May and temps in the 80s? Great day to play golf. Course was in good shape and a twosome got around in just over three and a half hours. A little long for a short hitting old man, but the course has visual appeal. May have to play it again before leaving for home.

Straightforward course that is challenging, but playable. Disappointed that people were not repairing their ball marks, but otherwise an enjoyable experience. A shorter course would benefiit this older, short knocker.

My wife and I enjoy playing this course whenever we come to the valley. Enough water and trees to make us mumble without taking it to extreme.

Water on the course was eye catching, but not a big threat. The waterfall was a nice touch on the back nine. Mountain views enhanced the experience. Houses did not seem to infringe on play.

Better course with water in the ponds. Played a few years ago during drought. This was much better.

Played just before Christmas in a steady rain. Good news/bad news. Good: rain kept crowds away and we got around swiftly. Bad: could not fully appreciate the layout. Will have to return for a rematch when I visit the area again.

Very nice layout with reasonable landing areas off the tee. Could not recall many blind shots. Despite much rain over previous days, fairways and greens rolled out well. Interesting to see how the views change when homes start going up.

This course can jump up and grab you if you are not paying attention. Losing focus can cost you strokes.

Amen Corner provides a super finish to a great experience. The holes leading up to that stretch are really entertaining too!!!
