I played at 8:30 am and the wind was whipping! 30-40 mph gusts and it seemed like every hole was into the wind. When I was done I felt like I had just played a 7,500 yard round! Some fun holes that give players a chance to use imagination. Greens were ok but a little thin and rough as is to be expected in the desert in the summer. No one was out there so pace was great. played in less than 3 1/2 hours in a twosome.

This was the first time I had played the course after driving by it for the last 20 years. It actually has a decent little layout that could be really good if they just cared for it a little more. All phases need attention - tees, greens, bunkers, & fairways - and it would be a good course. #2 is a legit par 3, as is # 7. Par 4's are short but not easy so it allows for some strategy. Sand traps were just dirt, greens were just mowed down fairways that looked like they had been punched (or attempted). Pace was good even though it was surprisingly busy! For $11 it was worth it just to go hit it around, but don't have high expectations or be too serious or you will get frustrated. I will try it again down the road,

While both courses are nice layouts, the Firecliff is definitely thebetter of the 2. Nice mix of birdie chances and some holes that will challenge all glfers for par. The greens were horrible but had just been punched and sanded. I have played before and they were much better. Pace was a little slow and not really any marshals prsent to monitor, but it was still fun. Fun course that allows a lot of optons for different abilities.

First off, I played in the summer so greens were not in great shape. They had recently been punched and sanded so it’s unfair to rate them too harshly. I love the bunkering and options you have off the tee. Not an overly difficult course, but fair with very gettable par 5s and a few really tough par 4s and some nice par 3’s. Overall, fun course, nice amenities, great practice area, and good bar. I would say it’s worth playing.

Established course with fairly challenging layout. Premium placed on driving ball accurately. Nice greens and some reachable par 5's. Good walking course, no cart needed.
