Played in a shotgun scramble tourney yesterday, Sunday, 6/11. Teed off at 1pm. Periods of rain made for a challenging day. Course is overall in pretty good condition.

Greens were definitely the highlight. They held shots fantastically. Putted smooth and they were quite fast.

Teeboxes were a little shaggy, but no big issues. Some divot damage on the par3's but all of them were nice and level.

Rough was thick and juicy. Lots of clover. Avoid it if you can!

We were in one fairway bunker and it was nice, no issues.

Fairways, quite a few of them had wet and bare dirt areas for some reason. Especially in the landing areas from the white tees. Casual water for the most part in these dirt areas with that rain, so we took a drop on two occasions.

Service was great all around. Beverage cart made a few rounds and they handled the tournament with ease.

Fun course, great layout and easy recommend, just wish they'd fix a few of the fairways.

Repeat conditions from Sun Mountain the day before. $10 cheaper than Sunday? on a Memorial Day? No complaints there!!!

Played Monday 5/29. $80 local rate at 12 noon. Worth every penny! Love this course and all of the courses and facilities here. Must play at least one of these three courses if you're in the Vegas area.

Teeboxes were great. Level, plenty of coverage and mowed to perfect height.

Fairways were great. Good cushion, good amount of roll. Never had a bad lie.

Rough was thick and juicy. About 3-5 inches long, but really made you think about executing a good shot. I shouldn't have gone for the green on 18 from the right rough, quickly grabbed my club and I yanked it into the water. I should've definitely laid up to give myself a chance at saving par or worse a bogey. So think about it before trying to muscle one out of this thick stuff.

Traps were fine for the most part, but were a little on the thin side. If you executed a good bunker shot, they seemed to behave ok. But if you hit a little heavy, the hard sand underneath would cause you to skull it from the bounce off the hardpan about an inch deep.

Greens were great. They were cut short and were fast, but they held shots amazingly well. They putted very smooth and they are a blast with ample slopes. They are large and multi-tiered, just great fun to putt.

Wind was howling, 20-30 mph with 40+mph gusts. I think this is normal for afternoons out there. Customer service was perfect. Beverage cart came by a few times and they don't rip you off for beers, 6pack was $25.

Played Saturday 5/27, 12pm teetime. Good local discounted rate of $60. Good value in my opinion. First time at this course and it's a great layout, Jack Nicklaus design. Wind was up, 20-30mph. The course is in the middle of nowhere!! No homes (at least not yet). Conditions were good for the most part. Customer service was great. POP 4.25hrs, which was just fine. Course plays very difficult especially with the amount of wind we had.

Teeboxes were great. Level with plenty of coverage.

Fairways were very nice, as well. Never had a bad lie all day.

Rough was up quite a bit, 3-5 inches. Definitely a challenge hitting from the rough. It would grab your club, very sticky. Some bare and thin patches mixed in, as well, so not quite a visually appealing, but it did hold your ball from going into the desert if you were slightly off line from the fairway.

Found one bunker and it was nice. Perfect amount of fluffy sand under the ball.

Greens were recently punched and they were very bumpy, about the only low light of the course. I'd love to return when the greens are in better shape, they are undulating and large. The did hold shots very well.

Definitely recommend this course. Lots of dog legs and split fairways, I used every club in the bag and thought very hard on every shot and putt.

Played Friday, 5/26, tee off at 12:50. The wind was howling 20-30mph (I think this is generally the case every day out there). $155 rate and worth it. I'm sure the course is generally in better shape than it is in late May, but everything was very acceptable condition wise.

Teeboxes were good for the most part. A couple of par 3's were chewed up, but they were all level and had good enough coverage to find a spot to put your tee in the ground.

Fairways were very nice. Good roll with good cushion. Never had a bad lie all day.

Rough was a few inches long, but manageable for the most part. Might not be able to go for many heroic shots, but putting a club on the ball wasn't a problem.

Sand traps were just fine. Crusty on top, but good enough sand underneath for the most part.

Greens were good, not great, but good. They were dry and fast but surpisingly held well struck shots.

Service was just fine all around. POP was just under 5hrs, very difficult course with this wind, so lots of prep time and thought to hit your shot. And the course as usual is busy.

Highly recommend. Wouldn't want to play here everyday, but definitely have to play it when you're in the Vegas area. Playing once a year seems like a great choice.

Played on Mother's Day, early teetime at 6:30, POP was just shy of 4.5hrs with no waiting. Marshall was all over the pace, in fact telling us to speed up a little bit after we fell 7 mins off pace while looking for a lost ball a couple of times.

Played the white tees and they were all just fine, no complaints. Nice and level with very little divot damage, even on the par 3's.

Fairways were all pretty good. They offered a good amount of roll, especially if you found some "speed slots" off some of the side mounding. Good coverage, some sand filled divots and some mixed grasses at some spots, but they had good cushion and I had good lies for the most part.

Sand traps were excellent. Found one fairway bunker and one greenside. Both were great, no issues.

Rough was mixed. There was some long fluffy stuff and some clover patches that were very difficult to hit from. Also had some mixed grasses growing throughout, so somewhat of a crapshoot what kind of lie you were going to get.

Greens were very fast and held shots very well. They had some diabolical pin positions and these greens are multi level and are difficult to read. Local knowledge is very helpful all around this course and I had a tough time reading them as I only played here once before and it was a long time ago.

Local knowledge is also very helpful with the layout, good thing they have a nice GPS on the carts, you will use it a lot for layups off the tee and layups for par 5's. Don't need driver off many of these tees. I used a couple of irons and my 4 wood several times off the tee.

Customer service is excellent, they have a bag drop and the snack bar attendant was great. Saw beverage cart once, but didn't use it. Starter was friendly and check in was just fine, I got the JC Players rate from my playing partner at $85 and felt it was worth it. Fun course, but wouldn't want to play here everyday, it's got some "tricked up" holes that I didn't care for, but definitely recommend playing every once in a while.

made a last minute tee time as a single for 3:15pm Friday after the Masters went into the weather delay. Got paired up with three guys who were good friends. Nice guys, but very slow, ugh!! we could've finished easily, but got in 16 holes, these guys were in no rush to finish for some reason. Oh well, I kept my cool, didn't say anything and enjoyed the beautiful day.

Course was in pretty good shape overall. Supposedly they punched a week ago or so, but you really couldn't tell. Greens were nice and held shots well.

Blue Tees were all nice and level, no complaints.

Fairways were cut well and were in good shape. Never had a bad lie and no complaints whatsoever. good roll and good cushion.

Rough was lush and fairly long. Just long enough to be penal and difficult to find your ball.

I found two bunkers and they were in great shape. Good sand and perfect bounce/fluff.

Customer service just fine. No frills in the pro shop. People in the snack bar were friendly and beverage cart came by twice and she was great.

$50 twilight on a Good Friday is well worth it, just wish we could've finished. I should've gone off with the twosome in front of us, they finished at least an hour ahead of us! I recommend this course for sure. The back nine is awesome in my opinion. Very nice views and some very unique holes all around.

Snuck out of the house yesterday afternoon, Sunday, March 12. Walked on and put my name on the waitlist around 1:15, starter got me out at 2:50 with three other singles. Pretty long wait, but they were busy, so the starter did the best he could.

Overall the course is in good to better than good condition. Blue tees were pushed all the way back on most every hole, good coverage and level. Fairways were very nice, I found a lot of them and never had a bad lie. Good cushion and good rollout, course drains very well. Greens held shots very well, but had quite a few ball marks. They were pretty smooth, though, and putted at an above average pace for sure. Downhillers were faster than expected. I found one bunker and it was fine, no issues whatsoever. Rough was not long at all, but it did have pockets of poor lies with some higher green patches and barren dead patches. Customer service was just fine all around. Saw the bev cart a few times and everyone in the proshop was fine. Starters are always awesome here, very friendly, but I just can't hear the darn speaker very well as they play music at the restaurant and the starter speaker doesn't seem to be very loud. That's always been the case here, though.

$26 to walk twilight is the best deal in town. POP on the front was slow at 3hrs, but the back picked up and we got in 16 holes, but 15 and 16 were pretty much in the dark. Then we took a beautiful pitch black walk back to the clubhouse, walked along 17 and 18 in the dark and enjoyed the beautiful views of the bridge and bay. Get out there if you can!!

Just got done playing. Saturday 9am teetime. First time I've played this course, I've played the North 5-6 times. The South side condition wise is pretty bad right now, but the layout is really cool, very interesting and has some beautiful holes. 13-15 are killer!!! but condition wise the entire course was pretty bad. Greens were the highlight. Very tiny greens and they held shots ok and putted quick and smooth, but still had some dead/bad spots. The rest of the course is way below average. $49 to walk and wasn't worth it.

The fairways on the front 9 are a disaster. Weeds and dirt. Back nine was a little better, but overall 2/10 on the fairways.

Teeboxes unlevel with divot damage and they had most of them all the way up with together, pretty much a joke.

Didn't find any bunkers and rough is pretty much dirt and weeds and patchy.

Killer layout, lots of water and awesome palm trees surrounding the greens with other awesome trees along all holes. Could be a really fun course if the conditions were better. I will stick with the North for now.

Got a late last minute hall pass from the wife to go play yesterday, Sunday, Jan 8, so I called the course at 10am and the starter said he had a slot for a single at 12:15, lucky me. $43 to walk is very fair. POP as usual a little slow, but we finished with a little daylight to spare right at 5pm.

Played the blues and most tee boxes were in good shape and fairly level. There were a few you had to take a minute to find a good spot, but no major issues for the most part.

Fairways were in very good shape. Found one sand filled divot, but wasn't a problem. Other than that, I had great lies all day and I only missed two fairways all day, and the rough was no problem, only slightly longer than the fairway. They weren't overly wet even after all the rain and provided a decent roll out as well.

Found two bunkers (one fairway bunker and one greenside) and they were just fine, no problems.

Greens were difficult to read today for some reason, but they held shots perfectly and putted just fine with medium to quick pace. No issues, just quite a few ball marks, but most had been repaired. Hit all fairways and greens in regulation on the back nine, but 20putts added up to a 38 on the back, ugh!

Service all great. Starter is always great here, Peter was working today. Bev cart came around a lot, but I wasn't drinking today for a little clean change to start the year's first round.

Just a beautiful day, hardly any wind and perfect sunshine. Highly recommend if you can get out there.

Another incredible outing with the Gker crew!! Great prizes as usual and had a blast all around. Great job Johnny.

Course conditions are being accurately described by other reviews, so I can keep this short and merely wanted to express my gratitude to Johnny and all the wonderful Gker people that make these days so awesome. This course is fun and will definitely return. Highly recommend. Thanks again to everyone.

Played yesterday, Sunday Nov 27. Called the starter at 11am and he said come on out, he should be able to get me out as a single pretty quickly. And he wasn't lying! I Got right out with another threesome, nice guys who went to high school together from Chula Vista. I did my best to promote Gker to these guys, so hopefully they will become active members soon.

$43 to walk on a Sunday is a good value. All customer service was good / great. Starter is always helpful and friendly. Proshop is no frills, but they get the job done. Beverage cart out and about, snack bar open, etc.

Course is all around in very playable good shape. Nothing deplorable, but nothing outstanding right now.

Teeboxes were fairly level with good coverage.

Fairways were thin with some bare spots, but the landing areas seemed to be all good, I personally didn't have any bad lies, but could see quite a few dead patches. They provided good cushion and good roll.

Rough wasn't penal, only an inch or so longer than the fairway, no problems.

Bunkers: I found one fairway bunker and it was good, didn't find any other bunkers, but they looked like they had fluffy sand. One guy was plugged against the face on the greenside bunker on #10, did not look fun, he had to go out sideways.

Greens: held shots very well. Still showing signs of aeration holes and they were a little bumpy, but they were fairly quick still. Couple of putts bumped/jumped off line, but no huge complaints.

POP was awesome, right at 4hrs on a beautiful sunny Fall day. Always an easy recommend, great views and a great course to walk.
