A mixed bag

The price for golfing was very good but the pace of play was very slow. There were no gaps in the holes in from of our group. We took 2.5 hours for 9 holes and quit due to darkness.

First time at Sundance

Weather was perfect but rate of play was a tad slow. Darkness stopped our round on hole 16 after 4 hours. The fairways and greens were in great condition. The rough was patchy and there was not a lot of it. The desert captured many of our wayward balls. Well placed bunkers and undulating greens provided a challenge. We enjoyed our round and will be back if we find a good deal with Golf Now!

Good Short Game Experience

This course was close to where I was staying so I gave it a spin with A Golf Now hot deal. The pace of play was quite slow. Front was over 2 hours and the back took almost 1.5 hours. There were many novice golfers playing. Better here than on a full sized golf course! Greens were firm but rolled true. A few traps and water hazards made the course more interesting. There are better short courses around but I would play again with a GN hot deal.

A well-groomed golf course

This was our first time at Dove Valley golf course. This golf course had has well cared-for fairways and undulating greens. We played from the white tees which gave us the opportunity to score well. The carts were equipped with GPS which showed a view of each hole and the distance to the green. The distance to intermediate targets such as bunkers, layup points, and water hazards were frequently not shown which left us guessing clubs off the tee at times. The pace of play was very good. We would return to this course with a hot deal from Golf Now.

Enjoyable Round of golf

We got a good deal through Golf Now. The course was in good shape for a busy municipal course with well-kept fairways and consistent greens. Rough was fairly dry with weeds and sand in traps was more like dirt. Balls were usually easy to find in the rough. Our round took 4.5 hours and we waited for a minute or two on each tee box. We enjoyed our round and would recommend this course.

First Time At Oak Valley

Although the fairways were patchy, the greens and surrounds were lush and well maintained. The greens were well protected with bunkers and mounds and tricky undulations on the sides made the middle of the green the best target. Trees line many of the fairways but the fairways are quite wide. Our only complaint is the 90 degree rule which frequently put us in danger from the group behind. My wife and I hit different distances and are not always consistent. As we drove off the fairway to the cart path, the group would hit although we were just moving a little way up the fairway to our next ball. Pace of play was very good as we finished our round in under 4 hours.

Good value for average golfer

The fairways and greens were in good condition. This is a shortish course but small and deceptive greens provide a challenge. Thick grass and bush will punish a bad shot. Some blind holes will confound a first time golfer - you should probably use an iron off the tee. Starting at noon, we finished in under 3 hours. An excellent value through GolfNow.

Slow play spoiled experience

The course was in very good condition with closely mown fairways and firm, undulating greens. The white tee boxes were rough. We enjoyed our round except for the pace of play which was very slow due to a group about 3 holes ahead. We were delayed 15 minutes with our tee time. After 14 holes the ranger got involved and then everything went smoothly. Driving areas were generous which allowed the use of driver on all par 4s and 5s. Long putts were a challenge because accurate pace and line were needed to get close to the hole. With our Golf Now deal I would consider this course very good value. I would play again and hope for a faster round and better putting.

Enjoyed the challenge

We enjoyed the total experience at the Morongo (Legends) golf course. It was worth the drive from Palm Springs. It was our first time golfing at Morongo and we appreciated the GPS on the cart. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition and there was lots of space so that wayward drives could be found and played. We were a twosome and even though the pace of play was good , two groups called us to play through so no-one was in front of us. Greens were firm and undulating and their pace was consistent. Tee boxes had seen lots of traffic. The course is quite playable for mid to high handicaps if you play from the right tee.

Short course with small greens

Play was very slow as the course was crowded. We did not finish our round. The course was very well maintained with firm greens and narrow fairways, most lined by homes on one side and streets on the other. Most greens are raised slightly and slope from back to front making putting a challenge if above the hole. We enjoyed our round but thought the price was a little steep.

Challenging, well maintained course

Our round was delayed by a tournament and a late start. Our first nine was slow but play sped up as the tournament cleared the course. Staff were a little aloof at first but course marshals were friendly. The course was well maintained and quite challenging. The greens were fast with lots of undulation. Fairways were generous with few rough spots. We enjoyed our round. It was excellent value with the Golf Now deal and we will return.

uncrowded today, Played ten holes twice, lovely day!

This was worth the drive - especially with the deal from Golf Now. Watch for the sign on the left as you travel west on hway 16. We were a slow group but enjoyed the experience because we had the course to ourselves. The well groomed course with a variety of tee boxes, and challenging greens made the trip worthwhile.

Nice challenge but needs more TLC

This is a course with plenty of undulations on the fairways and greens. Most fairways are tree-lines with huge eucalypts and pines and well placed bunkers. There were a couple of long par 3s and 4s. The pace of play was very good and the course was good value with the Golf Now discount. The fairways were a little shaggy and the rough was patchy with many bare, sandy patches. We were not informed the greens had just been aerated and top-dressed which spoiled our experience a little.

A Very Pleasant Day

My view of this course has been coloured by the eagle I scored on the last hole. The course was in immaculate condition and the pace of play was very acceptable for an busy afternoon round. The course was fair with wide fairways, challenging bunkers and huge undulating greens. My brother-in-law and I were a twosome who had never played the course. We took more time than usual discussing the greens and reading our putts. The greens rolled true but making a putt was a challenge. I would recommend this course to all golfers. It's good value if you get a good discount through Golf Now.

Well maintained; excellent challenge

Everything about the course was great. The pace of play was very slow, we quit after 9 holes. We would try again if we got the discounted rate through GolfNow.

uncrowded today, fast pace of play, lovely day!

We felt like we owned the course. Some problems in the long rough slowed us down to start, but we played along quickly and were called to play through a twosome who were walking. Surprisingly the playing time was about 3 1/2 hours!
