Beautiful course and the greens are well maintained. Started round at 4 to beat the heat and were able to finish on time with no one in front or behind us. It has a driving range and putting area.
This course is one my absolute favorites in the valley. They have installed brand new championship greens within the last 3 years. It was a huge project that came out with great results. The greens were rolling quite well last year. I went out there the other day in July 2026 and was shocked what happened to those greens. They are completely gone and unplayable. They are growing new grass on them, but the grass that they are growing doesn't look promising. The bunkers are not playable, they are like clay. They charge 80 dollars for this course. I really hope they turn this around, this is an absolute gem of a track. Courses in the area are not struggling with greens like this so it can't be blamed on weather or other factors.
Really looking forward to a nice golden day playing golf and the day was beautiful! Unfortunately we had no greens to work with, and the sand traps had mud -n-sand-n-water. Along with the Cart GPS Nazi, hey a really bad day of golf is still better than a great day at work.
2 club wind all day, it will beat you up. Play it safe on the first 4 holes until you get used to it, and bring extra balls 😁😁. I was extremely impressed with the greens, they looked real slow, but were actually quick with true roll. Staff in the shop were real pleasant, but had to look for staff in the grill twice to get served. Cart gentleman was extremely helpful, overall, good little place to play.
Green are in horrible condition. Needs a lot of time to grow in. Not worth 80$ for a round. It's maybe a 35 dollar a round course. It's bad not one nice green all had issues. But they did knock a few dollars off the round. In 4 months with proper care it may turn around
