Played 8-29-12 with our group of 15.

Another very nice round at one of the well-kept courses in SoCal.

Management: From checking in to the first tee, the people working there are polite, organized and helpful. After the round the bar is a great place to settle-up.

Greens: First couple holes were pretty pock-marked, but rolled smooth and were medium-fast. The rest of the greens were in excellent shape.

Fairways: Very good to excellent throughout.

Rough: Very consistent 2-3 inches and lush.

Bunkers: Wish everyone else in the IE had bunkers this good! Plenty of sand and well-kept.

Overall: We have been playing here for years on a bi-monthly basis and even though it isn't the toughest track, it is probably one of the best-kept courses around.

Played 8-8-12 with our group of 13.

Overall the course was close to outstanding. Only the fact that the greens were very slow and many of the fringe areas were in poor condition (time of the year?) kept it from being perfect. Tee boxes, fairways, rough and *bunkers were all in superior shape. (*Wish the starter/player assistant had told us the rakes for the bunkers were hidden in subterranean boxes around the bunkers so we didn't have to brush the sand with our feet/wedges before finding them by accident in the middle of our round!)

Customer service was excellent and the clubhouse is nothing short of awesome.

Definitely worth a trip to the 100+ degree desert!!! (Buy yourself a Frogg Togg Towel to help stay cool... mine worked great!)

Played 6-7-12 with our group of 16.

Played here every year since opening in '94 and it keeps getting better. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and rough were all excellent. The only complaint would have to be the greens which were rock-hard. Putts rolled smoothly, but iron shots just bounced and released through the green only stopping because of the rough or a bunker off of the back. (Please lush 'em up before next year!?)

Customer service is always very fine as is the practice facilities.

One more note: Patrick Flynn, who works at the Oasis Golf Club, does a great job in helping you setup your (or your group's) vacation to the Mesquite/St. George area.

Played 6-6-12 in our group of 16.

Course conditions were just about perfect throughout. Greens rolled smoothly with some of the rolls being very fast. Tee boxes, rough and fairways were consistently good with no bad lies to be had. Bunkers were firm and playable.

Customer service was excellent and the driving range has the most beautiful backdrop you can imagine.

Two things: All of the par fives are reachable because they're short (check scorecard), and the final three holes are absolutely gorgeous!

Played 6-5-12 with our group of 16.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said over and over again. Yes, it's beautiful. Yes, the customer service is great. Yes, you will not play a course like this anywhere else. And yes, it is very, very, very challenging, -especially when the wind is blowing 20-35 mph! (This made for a very long round of 5-1/4 hours, but it is very hard to put too much fault on the players since we play for greenies, sandies, birdies and Nassaus, and we play by the rules, even putting all the way out.)

Fairways: Perfect.
Tee boxes: Near perfect.
Bunkers: Slightly inconsistent but very playable.
Greens: This is the only part of the course that doesn't look good right now, but they rolled quite smoothly, medium-fast.
Rough: 2-3 inches and lush.

Play well off the tee, hit your irons to the proper level of the green and putt like there's no tomorrow, and you'll be fine. If not... well, that's Wolf Creek!

Played 6-4-12 with our group of 16.

Easily one of the best muni's anyone can play, -if not the best! As a whole, tough to beat for challenge, beauty and creative design. Holes 5 & 6 are worth the cost of admission.

The greens, fairways and rough were all near perfect. The bunkers were fine, but just a little too firm in the bottoms. The tee boxes were lush and level. If I lived in the area, this course and Sand Hollow would be my two favorites, with SH edging it out because of its back nine.

One more point: Don't let #11 get you down! It gets everybody!! 5 or 6 is really not bad on this par 4 so don't get too upset because you can easily get a stroke (or two!) back on #12.

Customer service was fine, but no cart girl.

Played 6-3-12.

Been playing here since 1993 on an semi-annual basis every other June as part of our groups annual trek to Mesquite/St. George. Although the tees, fairways and rough were in very nice shape, it was a very different story for the greens and bunkers.

The greens very, very bad. They were blotted with dead spots throughout, being only slightly better on the back nine. One of the cart fellows said they sut them too short, too early and they turned out terribly. They are still barely playable, but I would wait a month or two before heading out there right now.

As for the bunkers: Imagine hitting sgreenside shots off the cart path over a 6" lip. Yes, they're that hard.

The good part was we were charged only $20 for the afternoon round and playing the back nine is always a treat. We used it as a 'warm-up' for our next four rounds at Green Spring, Wolf Creek, Sky Mountain and the Palmer Course at the Oasis, and since the fairways were above average, we got the week off just fine.

As for the customer service, it was great! There was no cart girl since we were the only ones on the course, but we had plenty of sports drinks and all of the tee box coolers had plenty of cool water to keep us quenched.

Played 5-16-12 with our group of 15.

About as good of shape as I've seen Chino Creek. #3's green and surrounding area were damaged by an idiot neighbor who recently decided to spray weed-kill in the middle of the afternoon while the wind was blowing, but it's coming back nicely. All the rest of the greens rolled very nicely and were fairly fast.

Fairways were very lush and the good news is we didn't see a single coot! Rough, as always, was very bumpy to drive a cart through, but was cut between 2-3 inches which made it sometimes tough to get a clean hit on your ball. Bunkers are playable, but definitely not "silica-like". Tee boxes are mostly St. Augustine, so a little longer tee might be of benefit.

Customer service as always was very good, but we waited behind a slow-moving fivesome all morning who wouldn't even let the twosome behind them play through. Made our round 4:45 long which is 45 minutes longer than what it should take to play this layout. Maybe don't allow fives out until after noon? Sure would help.

All-in-all, a very good round of golf.

Played 5-9-12.

About as good of shape as it has been in recent years. Yes, there are some dicey spots in the rough where it can be completely bare and/or 'choppy', but for the most part your can play out of it. The fairways are better than usual, but inconsistency in types of grass can make your lie problematic, but not impossible by any means. The greens were in excellent shape and rolling medium-fast and very smooth. The tee boxes were healthy but for some long-standing reason are always lower on the left hand side which makes it tough to find an even lie. The bunkers were all great, -at least the five that I were in.

John, in the pro shop, is always great and does what he can to make you feel welcome.

Yes, you don't get the best conditions in the IE, but it's a very good way to save a few bucks and get in a nice 18 holes.

On another note: The men's club plays Wednesday morning and they play at a snail's pace! If you're behind them, just relax, because you're not going anywhere real fast.

Played 5-2-12 with our group of 16.

One of the nicest conditioned courses anywhere. Greens were fast and smooth. (Hole 15 had very small aerated holes to help get it into the same lushness as the others, but it rolled very well too.) Fairways were all like carpet. Rough was very penal in some areas, and just long enough in other areas to be of concern, -like rough should be. The tee boxes were also excellent and the three bunkers I was in were all fluffy and easy to nice out of.

Customer service was was also top-notch and the pace-of-play was right at four hours.

SL is a can't-miss spot right now.

Played 4-25-12

Been playing DL since it opened and without a doubt, these are the best fairway conditions they've ever had. Not a bad lie all day! The bermuda rough is still trying to kick in and is still a few weeks away, but it is very playable as-is. The greenside bunkers were all in excellent shape, while the fairway bunkers were firm but playable. As always, the greens were a little pock-marked because of lazy golfers not repairing their damage, but they were easily fixed. #3's green has some repair work going on in the middle-front.

Customer service was again excellent, especially the starter who was more than gracious and helpful.

Nice to be able to hit balls into the net before the round, -especially since there was nowhere to do so before. There's just no room for a driving range so they've made the best of it.

Nothing to say about this place but "Wow!". Excellent from top to bottom. An absolute "must-play" if you've never been here.
