Quick unique course.

Fun course. Unique one time play. Unfortunately about 1/3 of greens are dried out and in very poor condition. Sometimes challenging to find the next tee box. Fairways were in good condition. Saw a few coyotes. Pace of play was very quick. 18 holes in 3 hours. Cart was old and took a while to brake.

First time playing at Furnace Creek - but had been on the list of things to do in Death Valley. Course was in good condition ( i dont know how they even keep grass alive with summer temps being in the 120s ) There were a few dry spots on some fairways and 1 green was in pretty rough shape - but overall really fun. Views of Death Valley mtns are on many holes and fairways are tree lined. Some interesting wildlife (pretty tame coyote and a few other critters tried to join the round ) Only bummer is the lack of driving range facility to warm up and there is no onsite beverage or food at the turn - but was ok to bring our own. Staff at at the pro-shop and cart facility was great. Head Pro was also out on course checking in on golfers and helping maintain pace of play as there is a wide range of ability levels playing. Overall - great experience and we will be back again next spring.

Great Course and worth the trip

This course is gorgeous, well laid out, worth the trip up there when it is cold in Vegas, horse on one of the holes, mountains all around, very scenic and enjoyable. They also build a new proshop/restaurant that is very nice.

Bucket List

Excellent condition. Layout nothing special, holes seemed to look alike. Draw is lowest course and having to use more club and watching ball roll funny.
