Bang for your buck

Course needs some tender loving care. Played her 2 years ago and the course was amazing. Weather and time have exposed some needs. Still a bargain.

Good value

Nice layout. Pretty tame course. Greens in excellent condition. Hole 10 modified from par 5 to 3. Nice course if you aren’t looking for a premium experience good value for $59 per round on a Friday morning

Nice Layout

Great layout with strong par 3s. Greens were in excellent condition but tee boxes and fairways were dry and unkept. Course was adversely affected by recent winter storms.

Course needs work, but OK value

As others have noted, this course has had some weather damage and hole #10 is playing as a par 3 (supposed to be par 5). Bunkers very hard packed, some damage to fairways and greens.
It could be a nice course, lots of water hazards and an interesting layout. Greens generally pretty good. Staff was friendly, easy to get a tee time and reasonable cost.
If you don’t expect too much this could be an OK choice.

I was disappointed.

I think the course is not well maintained. The distance between some of the holes was long and the signage was not very clear, especially after the 18th hole and trying to get back to the clubhouse.

The course was just not aesthetically pleasing, was very dusty and distance markers were non-existent.

I was just very disappointed in the course, even though the staff was very, very nice

Course in Terrible Condition

We knew from the reviews that course was not in good condition, but we were led to believe that was only a couple of holes. Not true. The monsoon really washed out too many fare ways. Greens were poor and sand traps were unusable. Course should be closed until it can be repaired.

Storm Damaged

Several holes were badly damaged in the storm. Overall condition was average at best but the $75 green fees are out of line for the current conditions.

Lots of potential

Course need work. Water, especially on tee boxes and fairways. The first hole being in the wash is horrible. As well as the 10th.
I love the layout of it. Greens were a little slower , but great to putt on.Bunkers not great. Need work.
Without my tee off discount, it wouldn’t be worth the green fee. The whole atmosphere around the starter area, is very poor. But it’s also on the wash, so that makes it unattractive.But with all said, I will go play there again.
I suppose if the course was all lush green, we’d be paying double green fees.
