There are several holes that would be signature holes on other courses. Very enjoyable round.

This course has a number of very strong holes with good risk and reward options. Provides bailouts for less accomplished golfers. Course conditions were good with very fast greens.

Very pleasant round on an excellent course. Greens were very slow and somewhat uneven in speed; fairway bunkers are not being maintained; quality of the layout overcomes these issues.

The course has the features of a traditional Pete Dye layout. Not a lot of pressure off the tee; significant pressure to many greens; raised greens with substantial bunkering. Several challenging water holes with greens tucked beside ponds.

The course is a typical Pete Dye course in that it puts a premium on accurate shots to the greens; the greens themselves have considerable contours and were "tournament" fast. There were two instances in which 35' putts were either holed or left an 8' to 10' come-backer.
Major issue for play was that we didn't figure out until the 9th or 10th hole that the pin positions on the GPS were not at all what they were on the course. Led to 10 and 15 yard differences in many cases. Probably not reset from a prior day. I reported it to the golf shop saying that I expected more from a course of "this quality."

Good course in good condition; greens were fast and have considerable contour; chipping competency is required to secure.

We played the course in cold weather with the temperatures in the middle 50's. Fairways were still dormant from a cold winter; greens were smooth and reasonably fast. Layout has a variety of holes each with unique features making it very interesting.

The course is in excellent condition; greens run fast and true. Play this every year when I am vacationing in the valley

The course is very short and tight. Only 2 very short par 5's and 3 par 4's over 350 yards. Greens were in good condition with a fair amount of contour to make them challenging.

The course was in good condition; while there are challenging shots, there are always bailout areas. I did notice that people didn't seem to be willing to fix ball marks; I could have repaired 6 or 8 on each green without having to look very hard.

Course has a number of short par 4s in which the tee shot is played across deep ravines. For these holes a straight tee ball with moderate carry is essential. Par 3s are solid with the exception of the 13th which I am told has been playing to a "temp" green for the better part of a year. Par 5s are good holes without being overly long. Will play course again but not one of my favorites in the area.

Played with 3 very pleasant people - all walkers - the way golf should be played. Course was in excellent condition; greens had been sliced but had healed significantly.

Course was is good shape; quite demanding in flying the ball to the green and then stopping it. I have played it and its sister course a number of times and always enjoyed them. Some areas of the fairways were a little thin and some waste areas/bunkers had construction type tire prints.

The course is a good solid resort course; front nine flat and relatively uninteresting; back nine much more interesting with substantial elevation changes. Very well maintained.

Course was in good condition although detailed trimming around tees and greens was somewhat lacking.

Course Conditions:
Greens were in spectacular shape. Fairways in good shape. Bunkers could have been worked a little more.
Course Design:
Fun layout without a lot of difficulty; lot's of bailout areas; need to focus on what the course gives you; a couple of somewhat boring short par 4's.
