Standards

I brought a friend to this course, his first visit. It was a bit embarrassing. The carts are old and in bad condition, not clean and no sand in the sand bottles in the cart. These are basic, fundamental golf course management issues that are failing at this course. I have frequented this course over the last few years. I take lessons from Bobbi Salmon and play the course a minimum of once per week. However, the condition of the course is declining quickly and I am concerned. There are too many courses in better condition in the area.

A wonderful round

I played in the afternoon with a couple from another state . The starter was very helpful in setting me up with the couple . The weather could not have been better , a cool breeze on a sunny day . We were slowed down a bit but we did get the round in a little after the sun went behind the mountains. Course conditions were very good . The greens were a little fast and most approach shots bounced . Everyone enjoyed the day.

Best Greens in the Desert March 2024

Overall great experience, they could really use some new carts. Staff mentioned next week they get carts?! Good for them! I guess we were a week too early. It’s ok because we will be back in May.

Good course - no course management for pace of play

If you can't finish in < 5 hrs. something is wrong. It's up to the course to manage pace of play.

Fine Desert Day

The Gary player Course at Mission Hills North is a great layout, especially when the wind is down. Being in the windy corridor, sometimes makes it a challenge, but on a calm day, you get to enjoy the beautifully manicured, clear, friendly layout. The greens roll beautifully. We played in March. Have played this course many times since it opened. Like most things in the desert, it’s become pricey, but still offers good value.

Great Value

Really enjoyed this course! Set up very nicely and eye pleasing. The different blends of grass made the generous fairways stand out. Greens were fast, firm
and true. Best of all, it was great value for the money.

Gary Player course conditions and facilities substantially substandard to Dinah Shore course. Fairways were dry and spotty; sand traps coarse; greens blotchy
