Fun round

The course is in nice shape. Very green/lush. Finished in well under four hours and never had to wait on the group ahead of us. The greens; however, were very slow.

greatly improved course

This course is clearly heading in the right direction. Many improvements and water features have been added over the last year or so. Will definitely be heading back there when I'm in town.

Fun course. First time playing. Most fairways are pretty forgiving. Greens were in good shape and mostly flat. Just over 4 1/2 hours to play

Another fun round

We had another fun round here and were paired with a local couple. Course was in good shape given that it is about to be shut down for overseeding. Had a wonderful time chatting with the other couple as we played. Pace of play was excellent and we finished in three (3) hours!

Another great round

Course was in very good shape for this time of year. While it is starting to brown out as it looks.like.they are getting ready to overseed soon, it did not affect the course at all. Greens were in good shape and pretty fast. Played with two others and finished in 3 1/2 hours. Starter was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Another great round

Course was in better shape than I expected for this time of year when courses are preparing to overseed. Brown patches still very playable as if they were still green. Pace of play was excellent... three and a half hour round.
Wondering why there weren't many people out there. Definitely coming back in the next couple days before heading back to the rain.

Fun time

We had played this course once before and we will likely play it every time we come to Florida as it is just beautiful with all the wildlife. We also had the benefit of playing with two very nice gentlemen who gave us great advice on what to do in the area. We will be back again.

Another great round.

This is one of our favorite courses to play when we come down to the desert, both because of the course (to include every staff member) and because of the fine folks who play there. We have always been paired with great people and today was no exception.

Fantastic Course

Course was in phenomenal shape. Starter and other staff were very informative. Greens were fast and challenging. Groups in front of us were playing quickly and we were done in about 3 and 1/2 hours. Never had to wait on the tee box. Will definitely be back!

This is one of our favorite courses and one we try to hit at least once every time we are down there. Course was in good shape and we were paired up with a truly wonderful couple. Looking forward to coming back in a few weeks!

Going down hill

Last time we played this course was before the lock downs. Came back to the desert for the weekend and we were very much looking forward to playing here again. Sadly, the course is a shell of its former self. The course is brown, even in the fairways, and the bunkers are cement with weeds and grass growing in them. In fact, it looks like there are weeds intentionally planted in the bunkers. Guys we played with had played there before too and we're equally surprised by how poor of shape the course is in. The north course appears to be the only course they are maintaining. Do NOT waste your money here. We will not play it again.

Another Great Round

Staff was wonderful, as usual. We played the south then the north course. North course just opened a couple days ago so the greens are pretty slow, but we had a great time overall...and plan on coming back in a couple weeks!

This course offers a wonderful challenge. Course was in great shape and the greens were playing fast! The starter was wonderful and really set a great tone for the course at the outset. Cannot wait to be back!

Another fun round

This is a course my wife and I love to hit at least once every time we are down here. The course is in real good shape, especially for this time of the year when many courses are getting ready for overseeding. Greens were also in great shape. We were paired with a friendly twosome which just made the round that much more enjoyable. Be back in two weeks to hit it again. It was the south/west rotation. Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention it but the staff were wonderful as usual!

WOW!

My wife and I had a wonderful time here. The course was certainly challenging, but fun at the same time. In fact, my wife shot her best front nine score ever on any course! The only issue was that there was a group of six in front of us that we quickly caught up to and there was no course marshall to address the issue. We had to wait several minutes on every hole before we could tee off and they did not let us play through. They did go in at the turn so the pace of play was dramatically better after that. Very much hope that we are out that way again to play another round or two there. Also, everyone working there were absolutely wonderful.

Rained out

There are both pros and cons with this course. To begin, just be ready for rude staff. We walked into the clubhouse to pay and the gruff guy behind the counter motioned us to a lady behind a glass partition (and I don't mean a covid type partition, I mean jail phone call type partition). Muni course afraid of being robbed maybe? I don't know. Course conditions were average, but the greens were in great shape. Greens were definitely the strong point here. There was a course marshal who was rather overzealous in my opinion and I saw him interact with a number of folks. He was rude each time. Overall, we were having a great time (paired up with two other very nice folks) when a storm rolled in. Unfortunately, round ended there because they made the decision to close the course. Took us some time to drive back to the clubhouse and the course definitely looked playable (no puddling on the course/greens/etc.), just some puddling on the cart paths. I think they just wanted to go home for the day.

Great Opening Day

Today was the first day the course was open after overseeding, so the course was in great shape. The course, while definitely challenging, is certainly playable for an average golfer...you just have to stay focused. Looking forward to playing this one again next time we are in the area.

Wonderful People

We had a great time here from the very beginning. The woman who checked us in and got our cart was just wonderful and made us feel welcome. She gave us the option of going off early with the warning that we would likely catch up to the groups ahead and it would slow for a bit. She was right, but it opened up on the back side. Greens were in great shape and fairways were green. Will definitely play this course again next time we come to visit our daughter.

Fun course

We had a wonderful time here. Staff was super friendly and pace of play was perfect as there was hardly anyone out there. Looks like they switched the front and back nine so my gps had issues until I figured that out. Greens had recently been punched, but that has to happen some time. Definitely a play again if we are back in the area.
