Overall this course was a disappointment. It was in various levels of maintenance as you can see from the photos. Some dead greens that had been painted to look like they survived the heat (paint is cheaper than water I guess), multiple fairways that were burnt out and totally dead in large spots. it almost seemed like they were watering/maintaining the most trafficked areas only. It wasn't all bad though. there were a few greens in really good shape. The tee boxes weren't in pristine shape but most of the time there was at least some grass so you weren't standing on dirt.
But my biggest complaint is how closely they stacked the tee times. We had a time for 10:15, we teed off at probably 10:20 because the group ahead of us (10:07) had to wait on the group ahead of them (10:00) which left the group behind us (10:22) waiting and the group behind them (10:30, you get the point) waiting as well. They could add an extra 4-5 minutes between times and charge $50 instead of $44 on the weekend, and they'd make about the same amount.
I think on a weekday round in April this course would get a 3.5 or 4 from me. If we weren't waiting on every tee box and shot because the group ahead of us had to wait, and the grass wasn't so burnt from being dehydrated all summer, I'm sure it would be a nice course.
The layout is a little funky in spots and could probably use a few minor tweaks but really my biggest complaint was the 4h 50m round. Fix that tee time spacing on the weekends and I would probably go back. But unless I'm the first one out at 7am I think I would rather find somewhere else. read more
