Funky layout with lots of up and downs

OK track, but I would not pay the price to play here. It is not a course I would walk as it is extremely hilly. It was in really good shape but just funky and not worth $60 to play IMHO.

Fun, beautiful course

Had heard this was a nice course, and they were right. Front 9 and back 9 play very differently. Front 9 is mostly flat and open, back 9 is hilly with a more than a couple blind shots.

Back 9 is a tough walk, but good exercise for those of us that need it (myself especially), but I would recommend a cart first time out as you will want to go scout out ahead on a few holes to see where things are going.

Challenging course, great value

2nd time I have played this course, and despite the dry weather it was in phenomenal shape. Great value to play Roddy Ranch as we played for $40 to ride.

The greens were very difficult, and the pin placements were intense.

Would recommend this to anybody in the east Bay looking for a fun challenging round of golf. It gets warm, but they have water on what seemed every other hole and the beverage cart was making the rounds.

One thing I will say as a negative, the bunkers can't really be considered sand, mostly just dirt, so don't plan to play that explosion shot out of them. Not a big deal, but first when in I learned the hardway.

Solid course in the East Bay

Fun round, easy to walk. Good value, with $40 to walk on a Saturday morning.

Some long par 4s, but the course is in decent shape, greens have more break than you expect, at least to start the round. Some rough spots, but overall well maintained.

Strange set up, but fun course

This is a course where the yardage means almost nothing. There is so much change in elevation you will be guessing how much longer shorter each shot plays. Very unique course especially with the finishing par 6 ( that is amazingly downhill, I hit a 4 hybrid almost 300 yds into the group in front of us... sorry guys!).

Course was in good shape except for no one seems to fix their ball marks on the greens!

Pace of play was OK, in that the course is only 6000 yds and it still took about 4:30 to play.

Fun times had, and would play there again.

Fun, old course, but make sure you stay hydrated!

Went out to play Flamingos after I got a good price on GolfNow. I went out early for my 12:30 tee time and played the front 9 in 80 minutes. The course is in good shape but with the recent rains the greens were incredibly slow.

Even after I paired up with another single on the back nine, we played in 100 minutes so overall it took 3 hours to play this course.

Has some character to it, but with 90F heat and 90% humidity make sure you drink a lot of water! Will most likely play this course again the next time I am down in PV.
