Played today @ 9am as a twosome joined by a single and finished in about 4 1/2 hours. Wife's favorite "pretty" course to play and it was in great overall condition today. We play almost all of our regular golf at Dos Lagos with its firm dormant fairways and playing Celebrity with its soft fairways was a treat for the approach shots. However, over half of my drives had no (or minimal) roll so the course played longer than the yardage for me anyway.
Tees, fairways, and bunkers were all in great shape. Greens were smooth and looked perfect, however, they rolled very slow today. We were constantly leaving putts short on the front and finally adjusted on the back nine.
Due to covid, they've eliminated valet service and you need to prepay online for your round but top level service mentality remains the same in all other areas.
Even though pace was rather slow and we waited on most shots, the course wasn't as busy as other normal holiday periods as many out of state visitors are not here now.
Looking forward to playing it again next year. Certainly recommended.

After playing at Eagle Glen for 2 years, our group moved over to Dos Lagos and played our 3rd round this week @ 6:30am today.
Although you can't compare DL with any of the nice resort courses, conditions here now are better than I've ever seen previously. When we played here previously, we were generally happy with the conditions but always complained of the "spongy" greens. For all 3 rounds this week, greens were smooth, soft and rolled true at medium speed. If they can keep this up during the summer, we certainly won't regret having signed up for the year.
The only playing issue we have is on hole #6, there's nothing to stop your ball from rolling back into the water on right if you can't hit the green in two. Since we don't have the length from the back tees, we just hit from the forward tees on that one.
Pace was an issue today. We did finish in 4 hours but had to wait on most shots. Seems if you start at 6, you can finish in 3 hours but later than that it's back to 4 hour rounds.
I'm told wearing a mask in clubhouse or on course is not mandatory now but we did keep ours on since the weather was pleasant. I'd certainly recommend playing Dl now.

Played this morning @ 6:20am as a 3some behind a 4some and finished in almost 4 hours. It should've taken 3 1/2 hrs or less but a slower 4some had us waiting in about half the holes. Still ok as sun never broke through this morning.
Course overall is in good to very good shape. You still find burned out or dirt patches on a number of fairways but they are making effort to aerate many of those areas and watering them more heavily than we've seen previously. Greens always rolled well here but had been more "spongy" for the past few months. However, it finally got semi-hard and smooth this morning so we're hoping it stays that way. Fairways have gotten a lot greener but still a long ways off from being "lush".
Very enjoyable round of golf due to scenery, friendly staff and improving conditions. Recommended.

We also took advantage of underpar 2some voucher and played today @ 9:30am as a 2some following a 2some and finished in 3 1/2 hrs. Like the Celebrity course, Palm's such a "pretty" course, wife loves to get out there when temps are in reasonable range.
Like the review a few days ago, Palm is still in very good shape from tee to green. Greens rolled true today but were very very slow. With the warming weather, they're probably letting the grass grow out a bit. Was in 3 greenside bunkers and they all had more of "dense dirt" type of sand. It was still well maintained so it was playable as long as you didn't try to use the bounce too much.
Very good golfing day at a very nice resort course today. Highly recommended.

Played it on Monday 4/15 teeing off around 11:50 am as a 2 some with 3 friends chasing us in the next group. We were behind 2 couples and waited a bit on most shots but surprisingly we did manage to finish in just about 4 hours. Celebrity is my wife's favorite public course to play due to it being "so pretty". I also like the course very much as it's always in great condition and the entire staff there knows how to be courteous and helpful without going overboard.

Playing condition today was probably 8.5 to 9. Nice level tees and full lush and green fairways. Was in 4 bunkers today and they all had good fluffy sand with no footprints anywhere. The only negative today was the slow speed of the greens. Greens were smooth and looked fine but somehow they rolled much much slower than they looked. I just couldn't adjust all day but with everything else being very good to exceptional, it was a good day of "resort golf". With the warming weather, they are starting to have discounted tee times starting around 11 am so would recommend playing it now before it gets too hot. Highly recommended.

Wanted to escape from wet conditions from our home course so we took the drive to Borrego Springs on 3/13/19. Course was rather busy on this Wed but teed off on time at 10:15am as a 4some and finished in 4 hours.
Course was in very good shape when we played it a year ago and it was in better condition on this day. Tees level, fairways like carpet and greens were hard and smooth with no ballmarks to fix. Only issue our group had is that the greens putted much slower than they looked so we left many putts short all day.
Long drive from home but definitely worth the effort. Highly recommended, especially using the golfmoose or underpar 2some voucher.

played this morning as a 5some, teeing off @ 6:40am and finished in 4 hrs. They were getting new carts today so we teed off with the old carts and they came and replaced it with new cart when we were on the 13th tee. New carts are nice!!

Been playing here regularly since late March this year and have to say the conditions now are as good as its ever been. I've heard how nice the course was when they initially opened but I did not get to play it back then. Currently the course seems at least 90% green and the remaining 10% that are not green are the sloped areas or the areas that don't come into play. Greens are smooth but soft. When our group started here in late March, greens were hard and smooth but now with so much watering, they've become very soft. Since our group always play here early morning, not sure how dry they become in the afternoons though.

Given current conditions, course is highly recommended. However, just beware that anything other than early morning start can make your round last longer than necessary.

Our group changed our home course from Dos Lagos to Eagle Glen for this year and we played our first round at Eagle Glen today @ 8am as a 3some following a 4some and finished in exactly 4 hrs. Told last week by the head pro that they weren't going to aerify the greens in April but was told today that they are going to punch small holes on all the greens. I will provide an update when it happens. Maybe due to the recent rains, the course looked much greener than expected. Most of the tees were hard but green and level. Most fairways had good green coverage but there were some spots where our ball was in the fairway but on hard pan dirt. Rough was spotty and generally in worse shape than the fairways. Most of the greenside bunkers had fresh white sand and was easy to hit out of. No complaints at all for the greens which were smooth, hard and rolled true. Not many ballmarks to be found on the greens this morning but also not easy to stop the ball either.
Overall, we enjoyed a good round on a course with nice scenic views, acceptable fairways and excellent greens. Recommended.

Our group of 5 played on 2/21 @ 8:33am and 8:41am on a chilly but not windy day and finished in about 4 1/4 hrs. They don't allow 5some but since we didn't see anyone behind us, played as 5some from 3rd hole and didn't really get pushed by anyone.
Tees, fairways and greens are all excellent. Thought we hit some good shots to greens but apparently we don't swing hard enough (or spin enough) as we couldn't stop anything on the greens. Still enjoyed the isolation, views and well conditioned golf course. Although we all loved the course, I probably would vote "Snow" as my favorite as most of the par 4s on Wolf kinda looked too similar to my eyes. I seemed to remember Snow as having more of a variety compared to Wolf (my opinion only).
Would strongly recommend any of the Paiute courses as they are always well conditioned and you couldn't find such views and isolation in So Cal.

played here on 1/23 @ 10am as a 5some with an understanding that we'll let anyone chasing pass us. Didn't have to worry as we pretty much had the course to ourselves all day. Our friends raved about their recent stay and play here so our expectations were pretty high.
Overall, the course is truly in great shape from tees to fairways and greens. Unlike prior review, greens were equally smooth and fast but also very hard. Not many ball marks found since it was so hard to make a ball mark anyway. Truly enjoyed putting on these smooth fast greens.
I would disagree with our friends about liking this course better than Rams Hill though. Although condition wise this course is excellent, it doesn't compare with Rams Hill in terms of course design or the classy experience one gets from playing Rams hill.
Still a very enjoyable day at a golf course in great condition with one of the best greens.
Very highly recommended.

Played here on 12/8/17 as a group of 7 and finished in about 5 1/2 hrs. Our group teed off on #10 at 9:15am as the #1 tee wasn't available till after 10am for us. It was 3rd time for us here and the views and course conditions still continue to amaze us. Everything here was near perfect with the exception of rock-hard fairways under the grass coverage. For our group, divot repair wasn't necessary as we couldn't make a divot if we tried.
This is probably the only course we don't mind playing in over 5 hrs as it allows us for more relaxed picture taking opportunities.
Although some may say the course is a bit tricked-up, for us, Wolf Creek remains as our #1 favorite course. Certainly recommended.

Played on 12/7/17 @ 10am as a group of 7 and finished in about 4 hrs. Been 5 years since we last played here so expectations were high going in. Very cold in the morning so they didn't let anyone out till about 9:30am and didn't see many golfers out all day.
Considering the weather, course conditions were good to very good with no complaints on tees, fairways or the greens. For the first few holes, red clay bunkers were still hard packed but got better as it got a little warmer.
We chose this course for the views that are very different than So Cal and enjoyed a day of picture taking golf outing. However, since our last visit 5 years ago, they have build many new homes on most of the holes along the front 9. Although most homes are low rise single level homes, they still took away from our enjoyment of the surrounding scenery. No homes on the back 9 and the holes 12 to 15 along the virgin river gorge still remain breathtaking.
Still one of our very favorite courses and recommended but a few points off for the new housing developments.
