Overseeding

We played the Dunes course, which was in decent shape. They were cart path only which was a bummer, because of the overseeding. For the money, it was not worth it. I have to say it was nice that the starter gave us a handicap flag, since my playing partner needed it. We were able to do the 90 degree rule.

When, the course is fully open, it will be in good shape. It's just the cost that they will be getting over the winter out here in the desert is ridiculous.

Bad Couse Conditions

We were looking for a place to play. Most of the courses were closed for overseeding. We found this course and decided to play it, because we never played it before. We thought for $80 dollars it would be a halfway decent course. We were wrong!! The course was in horrible shape. The tee boxes looked like you were teeing up in the rough. The greens were either dead or had chunks of grass missing, if it was $25 dollars we would have thought "Yeah it looks like a 25-dollar Muni course" and that would be a stretch. The staff was really nice and friendly. However, we asked for a bucket of balls to warm up on the range, and we were given a plastic grocery bag with balls in it. I think the most annoying thing for us is how they charge $80 dollars for such a horrible course. We will never set foot in that place ever again.

Course conditions

The course conditions were pretty poor. They punched the greens so they were sandy and bumpy, which I understand this time of year is expected. The rest of the course was pretty bare and the tee boxes were torn up as well.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Course conditions

The staff was very friendly. The problem is with the course conditions. The fairways are pretty bare with hardly any grass on them. The bunkers are just dirt. The greens are not smooth at all. For the price I would try somewhere else.

Good Course

The course is in pretty good shape. The fairways are extremely tight. it looks like it's dormant grass. The greens were in good shape.

Ridiculous pin placements

Overall the course was ok. The problem was with the ridiculous pin placements. There were at least 5 pins that were located on the middle of slopes on the greens. Had several uphill putts of 5 feet to the hole that if you missed the ball would literally run 10 feet past you on the way backwards. One green I hit a putt that was uphill and it missed then the ball came back at me and rolled past me all the way off the green 25 feet away. Everyone in our foursome had the same issue's.
I guess the greens keeper had a fight with his wife the night before.
Other than that we had a nice time.

Rough greens

The course is in fair shape. The greens were real bumpy. They punched the recently so thats understandable. Overall it's a fun course to play. Nothing fancy, just a fun course.

Poor condition

The staff was very friendly. The course was in terrible shape. The greens looked like they have a fungus, most were horrible and extremely slow. The fairways were bare as well. Even the range balls were so old and worn.
They need to do something to improve the conditions.

Next Course to close

The course is in such bad shape no wonder it was only 13 dollars to play with a cart. The afternoon proshop, guy was pretty rude, just like last time we played.
The greens look like they have a horrible fungus. The fairways, well there aren't any. For the price I would play it again just for practice.

There were only a handful of people out on the course, I don't see how it could stay open much longer.
