Played 06/25. Played the back nine of the north and then front nine of the south.
This review is just for the north back nine. The course looked like winter conditions for a desert course. The fairways were a very dark green and the rough was a very light green.
Tee boxes were in great shape. Fairways were in good condition. Not dry and hard. Rough was very minimal. Sand traps were good but they are getting a little crusty. Greens were very good. Soft and putted semi slow

Played Mon. 06/24. Course is drying out. The tee boxes are in good shape. The fairways are thin and very dry. Lots of roll. The greens are in the summer transition period. They are very hard, but the speed is semi slow. Was in 2 bunkers and the sand was ok but starting to get crusty.

Played 04/01 for my birthday. Overall experience was amazing. The limo ride to the course where they meet and greet you and escort you to the locker room makes you feel special.
The course is spectacular. To see a tree lined golf course in the middle of the desert is quite unique. The course is in exceptional condition. The only drawback was that the greens had a very thin top dressing on them. My caddie Chris was very friendly and probably saved me 10 strokes on the green with all the subtle breaks

Played 03/30. Course is in excellent shape. I could copy my review of the snow mountain as the Sun mountain is very similar with the exception of the sand traps. They are a little firmer and crusty. The wind blew pretty hard making club selection difficult.
Great customer service

Played Friday 03/29. Course is in very good shape. Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape.
The rough is dormant and just sitting down. The greens are in good shape. It looks like there several types of grass growing on. They do not look that great but putted fairly smooth.
Customer service is very good and they have a very good practice facility

Played Wed. 03/27. Course is in fantastic shape. I could copy Phil’s review to a tee.
Fairways excellent, rough is lush. Tee boxes are in great shape with no divot damage even on the par 3 holes. Greens are firm,very firm. I could not get a ball to stop. Never saw any divot damage on them. I don’t know if it Is because they are getting ready to aerate the greens
Excellent customer service

Played in the GK Guru outing using the Phat Scooters and Golfboards with Johnny, Larry and Steve.
I thought the course was in great shape. Tee Boxes were level with hardly and divot damage on the par three holes. Fairways were in great shape with hardly and bare spots to speak of. Bunkers had plenty of sand in them. The greens were soft but still putted at a medium fast pace with subtle little breaks in them.

I played the front nine using the Phat Scooter. It took me about two holes to get used to it and I had a lot of fun riding it. My only struggle was making a sharp turn. I thought I would tip it over.
I played the back nine using the Golfboard. I have to admit I did struggled with it. Out in the fairway it was a lot of fun but trying to make turn in narrow areas was very difficult.
Steve (sparky14) said it best it might be perfect for someone who surfs or skateboards.
I think both of these will help speed up play as everyone can go to their own ball, and it may help the golf industry bring in other players looking for something different.
Working in the hospitality industry the staff at La Costa is excellent.
Thank you Johnny and La Costa for having us out at your course

Played in the GK event on 06/16 with Alan, Rob and John T. The course is a little out of the way, between Las Vegas and Mesquite but well worth the drive. The course is in very good shape for summertime conditions.
Tee Boxes were very nice, fairways are lush and the greens are in very good shape. They did putt a little slow. I was in quite a bit of sand and I thought the traps were good shape.
It is one of my favorite tracks out in the Vegas area because of the green complexes. You can have some very interesting breaking putts. POP was almost 5 hrs. due to wind picking up which can make the course play a little harder. Plenty of water to drink throughout the course and thanks for the snack lunch. Thanks Johnny for putting this event on

Got to play in the SCGA event today 05/14. Course is in magnificent shape. Tee boxes excellent, fairways look like carpet. Hardly any divots anywhere. There is some rough but it is not penal. Sand traps have fluffy sand. Green were great. They are in a transition where they look like a wool doormat. Kind of gnarly but putted great. Green speed read 12 but they did not seem that fast. The new clubhouse is amazing. POP was almost 5 hrs. Customer service was great.

Played 03/04. Course is in great shape.
Tee boxes were great. Fairways are lush and the rough is dormant. I really like the dormant rough because it just seems to frame the fairway. The greens looked like they were punched with little tiny holes. They did have some sand on them but it did not effect any putts. They did putt slow. I had some trouble in the sand. It was very soft and heavy. I just kept hitting them fat.
Customer service was great. Will definitely come back. Course has some amazing views

Played TPC on Sat. 03/03 as part of my birthday bash.
Course is in very good shape. Tee boxes level with some divot damage on the par 3 holes.
Fairways looked good but had some divot damage on the shorter holes. Rough was a little tough to hit out of. Bunkers in great shape.
Greens were quite possibly the ugliest greens I have ever putted on but they were semi hard and putted amazingly smooth.
Customer service was great. Saw the cart gal several times

Played Friday 03/02 on day two of my birthday bash.
Course is near perfect. With the exception of some pebbles in the first couple of bunkers everything was amazing. Was told they are almost done with the bunker renovation.
Fairways lush with no divot damage. Rough was lush and the ball did sit down a little bit.
Tee boxes were great . Grass mowed down so the ball sat up high.
Customer service was great. Mike the caddie was great helping me on the green a lot and judging shots because the wind was blowing quite a bit.
