I enjoy playing new courses as much as possible and will golf anywhere. I like the challenge of tough courses, meeting new people, sunsets, holding hands, long walks on the beach...

I did not remember all the undulating fairways. The fairways were mostly in good shape and had really lush kikuyu grass. So lush that I managed to chili dip three shots on a single hole after a good drive. Oh well, I guess I'm not that good yet. There were a lot of Ground Under Repair areas on the front nine. It appears that there is some revegetation or other landscape construction going on several holes. It did get better on the back nine.
The greens were very soft and there were lots of unrepaired ball marks. By the size of the practice putting green, I guess the course sees a lot of play. Fixing ball marks doesn't seem the be a common practice here.
Fairways and rough were mostly good. Some areas of the rough had some very deep grass, but for the most part your ball would sit up.
Bunker sand was mostly wet and kind of thin.
We played the Blue Tees and most were in good shape.
Pace of play was about 4.5 hours.
I did not get anything from the club house, but my playing partner bought a single 25 oz. domestic beer for $12. » Close I played here last Friday, September 5, 2025, teeing off at about 1:30 PM with my brother.

POP about 4 hours. The routing was Oasis to Sky. It was my first time here. At first I was concerned about the water on almost every hole with forced carries either on your tee shot or approach; however, it was relatively benign. I only lost 3 balls.
Greens were consistent; medium speed, slightly grainy (Bermudagrass), and not a lot of break. They were somewhat firm and I only fixed a couple of ball marks all day.
Fairways were great. Lots of roll out on most shots. Good coverage of turf and great lies all day.
Rough was deep in spots and challenging to judge the way the ball would react. No bare ground for the most part, except in some of the areas where carts drive through.
Tees (we played the White tees) were consistently level and had good coverage of turf.
Bunkers were fairly nice and easy to play from. Good quality sand and lacking footprints. Fairway bunkers were on the firm side, making it easy to get decent distance.
It was a nice afternoon of golf and the price was good. » Close Played today, September 2, 2025, Mountain/Desert routing. The Mountain Course is not in great condition.

The tees were in poor condition, with the Black and Blue tees pushed back and the White and Gold tees moved forward. The unused tee boxes were not under any kind of maintenance. The fairways were okay. The rough was a mixed bag of shaggy (mowed) grass or bare ground. The greens were mostly bad; slow, bumpy, with bare areas on many greens. The Desert Course was in better condition. Like the Mountain nine, the tees were consolidated and not well maintained. The greens were much better on this nine. Looks like they just mowed them before we played. They were on the slower side though. The bunkers were in good condition around the greens; There were footprints in many of them. Overall, I wished I golfed somewhere else. » Close Played today, riding, white tees, $44 at 11:24. There was some kind of mixup at the starter’s desk and we went out as a fivesome.

We split up two and three but ended up back as a five because the course was a little backed up. The pace did quicken up on the back nine.
The course was in good condition. Greens were running medium slow; very few ball marks were visible but I fixed what I saw. Fairways and rough were very lush with good lies everywhere. Tees were level and had few, if any, bad areas.
They have some dynamic pricing on their website. As it turns out, one of the guys got the same tee time for $40. At noon it looks like the price goes down to about $36. No senior discount, whatever it says on website what you will pay. Still, not bad for 18 with a cart. » Close I played here yesterday with the Greenskeeper.org/Vivid/GolfMoose private club event.

I love this course and try to play it every chance I get. Big V, as it is called around here, underwent a facelift a couple years ago. Throughout the course, the turf grass has been improved. It is consistent whether you are in the fairway or rough. I played the white tees (6113 yards) and all were level and lush. Great lies in the fairway, and the rough is just penal enough (3” deep)without being ridiculous. The bunkering throughout the course has been greatly improved in visual appearance and all were well maintained. I was able to get up and down from the greenside traps 50%. Of course, the highlight of the course is the condition of the greens. Pure, smooth, fast, and undulating. Most pins were located in very diabolical positions, making putting quite a challenge. If I had the means, I would join. Members must be very proud of their club. Kudos to the maintenance team; they were working nonstop without disruption to the players. Many thanks to Johnny, VCC, GolfMoose, and Vivid. » Close
