Excellent weather and a fun course. Course needs a bit of attention on some fairways but realize it’s end of peak season. Really had a fun game of golf. Good value too. Very professional Staff.

This course has bones but poor maintenance

The course has all the pieces to be a great course. However they have really neglected the course maintenance and it is unfortunate. I know new management has come in and I am sure they will be investing some money.

Apparently, many of the sprinkler heads are broken and there are many brown or bare spots all over the course.

From a playability standpoint the biggest issue are the sand traps. There is no sand at all. It is a clay hard surface.

The greens are I. Great shape but extremely slow and that may be on purpose or it may be they are not rolling them.

Anyway, I did enjoy playing the course. I will definitely play it again. It is good value and a challenging layout.

Dry course

Dry conditions left the fairways scratchy and slightly too many tight lies. Tea boxes and greens were in pretty good condition

Nice course but…..

Course seems to be underwatered so fairways were kinda scratchy. Greens are pretty good. Tee box and bunkers are ok also.
I’ve played here many times and just found it in less than good condition

Fun course

We had a good time playing the course. The greens, fairways, and tees were all in great shape. The areas outside the rough were very dry and not pleasing to look at. But unless you hit a really bad shot that didn't affect play at all. The course is very fun and we enjoyed it. Good value, considering how expensive golf is in the desert.

Visually Unappealing

While greens and fairways were in decent condition, the rough and areas around the bunkers were dead. If you missed the fairway only slightly you were hitting off of hard pan

Could be great!

This Course could be great with some $$ and TLC. Off fairways were brown and sandy and generally poor shape. It didn't affect play too much but it did diminish the overall visual appeal and enjoyment of the round. Not sure if this course is in its infancy or has seen its better days, but it was not quite on Par with other courses I played in the same price range.
They did have a great practice area with complimentary range balls.

This course has steadily moved down hill over the years. Now it is nothing special and definitely not worth the price. The Course condition and, amenities, are all degraded. I do not recommend.

Good Course But Unattractive Surrounds

The course is very good and definitely women friendly...so it was fun to take my wife here. Maintenance is overall very good on the playing surfaces but perhaps the fairways were a bit too fast; not a deal breaker though. I liked the course and would probably play it more in the future but the perimeter of the course and the surroundings are not watered or maintained in the least bit so it is noticeably unattractive...quite ugly actually. Conservation is one thing but this is taking it too far...I'm thinking it's more of an economic decision than an environmental one. It is enough to keep me away more often than not and it is the only reason I would not recommend this course to someone who loves the game.

Nice course

Fairways, green, and tees are in good shape. Surrounds are not to the standards they were when owned by the Westin corporation. Very nice course layout. Fair for all levels of golfers!
