Time to aerate

Feel like a long hitter, fairways and greens very hard. Time to punch. Automated mowers on every hole was interesting. Layout was quite plain with few bunkers lining the fairways giving any real interest. Let the rough grow up to stop ball from running off into desert. Just two of us playing today. Pro shop and ranger were very accommodating, suggesting we tee off early to get in front of foursome. Ran around in 2 1/2 hours as a result.

Don’t bother

Enjoyed the layout very much. If one never misses a fairway or green, this would have been enjoyable. Unfortunately, the rest of the course was dismal at best. Nothing but hard pan and weeds. The only employee we’ spoke to in the pro shop pointed us to the carts and that was it. Drive the cart to the bag drop and loaded ourselves. No starter or guidance afterwards. Tees off 30 minutes early. Played through one group and waited for slower players the last three holes. Still played in 3 1/2 hours. At least the pain didn’t last too long.

Greens need a lot of work

Played here two years ago, pre COVID. It was always in good shape. Greens were very poor today though. They were slow with little ruts in them almost like French drains. With weeds growing in the drains. Very disappointing!

Disappointing

Many tee boxes were in very poor condition. GPS was not set to correct pin positions making it of little to no value in many cases. Many times, the cart paths were 20-40 yards in front of the back tees, resulting in the same issue. Course layout was nice enough, although we were informed the last hole was changed from a par 5 to a par 3 because the new convention center invaded the golf course property. Personnel were very friendly and helpful though

Guess nobody likes the late shift

Superior conditions as always, although spots still need watering, especially the rough. No one at bag drop. Waiting for carts. Then had to retrieve clubs ourselves. Still didn’t take away from overall course conditions or layout. Not very friendly.

Fantastic Scenic Layout

Absolutely beautiful layout. Everything about the design was truly outstanding. The design of the greens was interesting and challenging, to say the least. Only detractor on the course was the lack of watering on many brownout areas. I guess understandable with the lack of rain this time of the year. I got a great rate here, but would not pay the $130 fee I saw before. I was told in the pro shop $130 was a cheap rate for this course. Can’t imagine paying more.

Fantastic conditions; tee boxes, fairways, and especially the greens were outstanding. Love to know what those greens stimped at. The plethora of unsanded divots are a common problem of good courses on resort courses, I guess. That’s my only negative. Can’t go wrong playing here

Disappointing

Greens were the highlight of the course. Excellent condition and speed. However, a course with no rough is of poor design in my eyes. Putting from 20, 30, 40 or more yards from the green on every hole is ridiculous. Positions the tee markers were placed didn’t appear to have been moved for far too long. They were extremely worn. Far worse than this was the washed out bunkers on practically every hole, more likely to find mud than sand.

A work in progress

Cart path only never helps a review. No rangers out to enforce the rule. Course was very wet in places. So much so that much of the rough was very long, making finding balls in the rough very difficult at times. Even the fairways were too long in many places. Last 10 holes were much more interesting than the initial 8. No doubt, a worthwhile experience when conditions improve enough to allow carts on the course.

Don’t bother

Probably being generous with course rating. Overseed is in but still on paths only. Slow greens, maybe 7. Real problem was the lack of water or ice availability on the course or with the starter. We were told to get ice from the drink cart girl. I got ice in 19th hole. Saw drink cart on second hole. We were fine then but never saw her again. No ice in the cooler on the cart. Since course doesn’t return to clubhouse after 9, we were screwed. How about a little common sense people.

A work in progress

Overseed missed some spots, but overall an enjoyable round. Didn’t run into anyone until second shot on 17. 3 hours and 40 minutes tough to beat. Scheduled behind a threesome that let us go first which was really nice. Never saw them again. Greens a little slow waiting for overseed to come in I guess. Back nine is outstanding and memorable. Got to snap some pics on #11 tee. Signature hole I’m sure. Mixed tees gold/blue played very fair. Ladies yardage played very fair according to the boss.

Immaculate

After putting on practice green, which was probably 10-11. We looked back from the first tee and observed the practice and first green were being rolled. Probably got them up to 12 or so. Surprised they have more than one roller. Can’t say greens were the best part of the course, tee boxes and fairways couldn’t be better. Outstanding course, condition and layout.

Punch punch punch

Outstanding layout! Played last week and that’s why we returned so soon. Didn’t call to check on condition. Shame on me. Greens punched, rough punched, tee boxes punched. Huge disappointment. Can’t get excited when you’ve got to get lucky to make a putt. That said, give it 3-4 weeks and I’ll be back

I hate cart path only

Cart path only never bodes well for a review. Playing here off-season, first time we’ve encountered CPO. Lots of options for length of course. Very lady friendly.. Nice layout, good overall shape, although greens were a little slow. Don’t know if the cut them this morning

Try to find a bad lie. If you’re on grass you won’t. Greens were fantastic. If I tried to find something wrong, I’d say greens could be a little faster considering how healthy they appear.

Great course

Great shape throughout the course. Being a first timer, I hit a few shots I thought were good, turned out not so. Layups were tough to judge. Only saw three people on the course. Let a dingle through but had to wait on an on course lesson on several occasions. Only real negative were the flying insects, flies gnats mosquitoes, whatever they were, they were overwhelming at times. Bug spray didn’t really help much,. Don’t know if that was a product of the rains or how far inland we were.

Where’s the green?

Didn’t have an issue with them redoing the tee boxes. Hitting off a tee anyway. But, standing at the 150 marker on a par 5 and can’t see the green is problematic. Looking back from green side, I was 15 left of the green before I could see the 150 marker. Cut some brush down!!!

Awesome layout. As challenging as it gets. Multiple tees makes it playable to all. My wife likes the course shooting 100 plus. Unfortunately all the rain lately had us on paths.
