The course is in mint condition, tee boxes, fairways and greens. Traps particularly attractive, sadly, but well represented opinion says they are full of good sand. This is a good, challenging course. You earn your score.
Highly recommend.
Good pace and of course, beautiful setting, airplanes to the south, buttes north and city skyline to the west.
by Zach on June 29th, 2012 21:59I was excited because of the redisign they did awhile back. The fairways and tee boxes were in mint comdition, and the greens were also in good shape. However the rough was scattered crab grass and reandom folage and the desert was a mix of ungrown trees and dry dirt. Overall not bad, but I was hoping for a little better experience.
