Great Nicklaus design but the greens are nutz! Makes it fun, unless you're trying to score.
This course and another Nicklaus I played are over watered so zero roll with mud on the ball 100% of the time. Still love playing here tho'.
Staff very excellent.

I pulled up with no tee-time at 12:45 on a friday. Paid for 18 holes with cart and no charge practice balls and teed off at noon. Had the course to myself. I can’t say enough cudos to the staff and their beautiful course. True greens and awesome par 3’s! Great conditions and lots of variation for your skill level ( I played middle tees). It was my first time and will go out of my way to come back.

A nice enough course but play was xtra slow due to cart path only. Tho it rained both days I was there, I was told that due to it being the “dry season” they are constantly watering. Hence, cartpath only. My drives landed with negative roll due to the soaked fairways. Waited on every tee box. If a manager makes the decision to go cart path only he/she ought to add a few minutes between tee times. Greens were great!

I came with very high expectations due to the reviews.
This is one of the most beautiful layouts I have played on. Upon arrival we were told cart path only due to recent over-seeding----fine---but they didn't tell us that recent over- seeding meant that they are over - watering. Even the tees were a sloshing mess to go along with plugged drives on most holes. The greens were super nice.
If you are a avid golfer this may not be the course for you since peeps playing may be on the beginner side and pace of play is slow.
This is a great looking course, but I did not enjoy my round due to the over watering and pace of play.

The course is in great shape except the greens need to be mowed shorter.. In these VIRUS times it was a real pleasure!

I have played this course on and off for 25 years. It's a great layout and the conditions are superb.....except for the greens. The greens are the slowest that can be imagined.
Not sure what's going on here, but just wish that a course of this caliber would have better greens.
I am sure they will remedy this.....hopefully soon!

My only complaint is that teeing off at 2:12 we still had to play last 2 holes in near darkness. For a top notch difficult course I expected a few marshals to keep things moving but there were none. For $100 on golfnow I was disappointed that we were behind “members” couples who obviously weren’t up to handling this course (ex: taking 7 swings at a ball in the trap).
The course is in great shape and the greens rolled fast and true. Lots of local knowledge would help because many of the approaches are blind and the greens have huge contours. Lots of shots that appeared excellent ended up being way out of place. All in all a fun challenge!

A friend recommended this course if I was ever in Vegas. It was an all-around great place to tee it up. The day I played it wasn't windy at all, but it's in the desert and very unprotected, so, I bet I just got lucky. Excellent facilities with all you- can- hit range. Staff couldn't have been nicer. The 3 courses are 35 min from the strip. I recommend playing here.

I picked the perfect time to give this course a try. Cool weather and the leaves were turning everything into a fall wonderland. I had read a review from a few weeks earlier that said the course was not in good enough condition for the price paid....I must say, au contraire! The layout is great and the beauty of the course is greater. The fairways were in fine condition and the greens couldn't have been more in shape...bent grass and plenty fast. Perhaps the gentleman who wrote the disparaging review ought to consider Golfnow next time he arranges a tee-time as he apparently paid twice as much as me. The only gripe I have is that at this time of year they have no starter and the proshop wasn't in synch with the online tee-time reservations. Fortunately, our threesome was able to go to the 10th tee to have a wide open course in front of us. I would recommend this course.

I was not prepared for this course. The first few holes reminded me of the crazy Old Macdonald at Bandon...huge elevation changes, huge greens, and totally blind tee shots and approaches. Many players will not like the course as it is VERY difficult...if you don't have your A game, good luck. One of the other reviewers suggested to forget your ego and play from more forward tee boxes and he is right on. They have pot bunkers everywhere that are more British thsn American, meaning if you find one it may as well be a stroke penalty. This course is one of the most beautiful I have played and houses or buildings are visible in the distance on only a few holes. I can't wait to play it again!

I used to play Grey Rock back when it was Circle C....a long time ago. It has been taken over by the city of Austin but is a jewel compared to some of the other local courses. In the dead of summer in Austin, tx you can expect some shaky turf conditions but Grey
Rock must have hired a top-notch greenskeeper since I have last been there. The greens putted moderately fast and true, the fairways were very green and trim, and the bermuda rough should, by all means, be avoided. This is a real course. I will be teeing off there a lot more in the future.

Ok, So I pass thru Grand Junction occasionally and always try to play Redlands Mesa. It's been 3 years since I have had the opportunity so I was fairly stoked to play. This course has soaring vistas and very nice true greens. The problem for me is that they have loaded up this tract with hundreds of houses since I was last there. This really changes the character for me and I found it much less enjoyable. Granted, the morning I showed up they only had 9 holes open due to flash floods a couple days earlier but that may have been a lucky draw as it just doesn't wow me as it used.to. Condition was good considering the rain they had just had, and the soaring vistas are still there, but all the fairways are lined with houses and they are building lots more. I was surprised that it was virtually a empty at 9AM. Moved it from my top 10 to my top 50 favorite courses.

I stay in Palm Desert every year at the end of the summer. This is the best time for golf in the area if you can handle the heat. The Players course is a REAL course with tees for every skill level...7300 from the tips and mid tees at 6500 (my tees). Conditions could not have been better. Lots of trouble if you don't hit it straight and lots of bunkering protecting the pin. This venue was a pleasure to play and the staff was perfect. I will make a point of coming here again!

The first hole is straight forward and then progresses to more difficulty. I had the course to myself so the pace of play was perfect! Had to do the dreaded carts on path rule so should have walked...the Bog really is a bog sometimes. Enjoyable fair 18 holes.

Great practice facility. Recently sanded greens but still putted true and fairly fast and they hold a shot. I am not a long hitter and played the 1-up tees and the course is challenging but fair from yardage. I play here once a year on my travels and always look forward to it!

This is a real treat for me get to play every summer on my travels. The changes in elevation are severe on many holes so play the back tees if you want to experience all this course has to offer. Nice greens.

This is a long course if you play from the tips or even the 2nd tees...a couple par 4's played llike 5's depending on the wind direction. Greens were pristine and mildly undulated. It can be pricey to play here, but it was worth it!
