Nice find

Been playing in the area for 13 years and never played here. Went to check it out for my wife who is a beginner fun golfer. Perfect for her and plenty for me as a 5 handicap from the back tees. Very friendly staff and great value.

pace of play

We have played here for years. My wife is a beginner and the course is good for her. Conditions are never pristine but you know this going in. It is what it is and is usually priced accordingly. Our recent visit was for 9 holes at 3pm. Pace of play was terrible at 2 hours 40 minutes. No ranger on the course with groups stacked up every 8 minutes. We won't go back for a while.

Friendliest staff around!

My wife is a learning golfer and this course is perfect. Flat, no forced carrys, under 5000 yards and no water. The conditions were very good despite a full day of rain the day before. I am a 6 handicap and played the back tees and it was a good test. Par 70 with 6 par threes...some of which are 200 yards from the tips. I think the course could benefit from a gold white combo. The whites are very short. Staff are all very friendly and it is a great value.

Nice easy parkland type course

Flat and playable. Was in good shape except greens were terribly slow. No starter on the front tee made for a very long front side. Back side much faster. White trees are short at under 6000 yards and back tees a good test at 6700. The course should add a set of blue tees or a black white combo for an in between track. My wife is a beginner and the course was very playable for her.

Great links track

We live right on the course and watched the 10 million dollar remake, We finally decided to try it out. The course was in fabulous condition despite being just a few years old. Being a Marriott property the service and staff are great.

The course is challenging but very playable at the same time. Bunkers everywhere including being very well places to catch tee balls no matter what tee boxes you play.

my wife is a beginner and the forward tees provided her an enjoyable day. This is not a desert course....but very pretty.

Great track

This is a great desert course. With multiple tee boxes and combinations of tees ranging from 4800 - 7072 yards. Up tees have only limited carrys and back tees provide for a sturdy test with plenty of fairway bunkering.

Only negative is that the greens have a lot of pitch marks because they are soft. They look worse than they are and roll nicely.

There are power lines that run through the course but they do not effect play at all as some review would lead you to believe.

Staff was very friendly and there was a marshal to move things along. We played in 4 hours and 10 minutes and held pace all the way around.

Great value for the money.

Beautiful views

Beautiful to play. A tee box for everyone. My wife is a beginner and the forward tees make it very enjoyable for her. Plenty of course from the golds and the tips would be very challenging to any player. The course was in good shape. The greens were a little slow. It is on our list every time. Facilities are temporary and a bit lacking so bring your own drinks and snacks.

A great day of golf.....

Very nice day. Friendly staff. Back side is much more difficult than the front. More elevation and lots of deep green side bunkers. Very friendly for my beginner wife. Front tees avoid most forced carries and play at less than 5,000 yards. Deep bunkers on the back made it very challenging for her. We both enjoyed the day and will go back.
