Definitely a fun and challenging track, Layout favors players that fade the ball, slick and firm greens, loved the San Andreas ( 16th hole ) only because I was witness to my buddy who got out of the MONSTROUS Greenside Bunker with the 30 foot wall of Grass, Was Incredible. Fairways were ok considering we are at the brink of Summer. 12 water holes, thru this 18, beautiful and fun.

I was really excited to play this course and check it off my list of must plays. But, to be honest I was really disapointed by a lot of things here. Don't get me wrong, the course lived up to everything I had read and seen. It is very tough, unforgiving golf course that you need to bring your A game to play well. But, the condition of the course pales to many of the courses in the area. The rough was just plain bad, the sand traps hadn't been raked in days (and we played the middle of the day Saturday) and the pace of play although understandbly slow due to the toughness of the course was slow, but 5 1/2+ hours? Not to mention the carts were bad the club house is vintage 1970's etc... I am glad I got to play it, but for the $ there are a lot better values near by. I do not think I'll ever play here again.

Played the week of the hope classic. Greens rolled really smooth and great care has been taken to keep them nice with the constant ball mark repair being performed with colored sand topdressing and seeding. The Fairways were nicely trimmed and the tee boxes were in fantastic condition. As anyone knows this course is not for the faint of heart and I fulfilled a life long dream to play the course. However the rough seemed like it just was not really taken care of. The dormant bermuda is fine and is really clean. It was the areas of overseeded rough that really detracted from the courses beauty. I really had a great time and donated two $20 dollar sleeves of golf balls to the abudant water on the course but I am proud to have kept the score to a 92. Count them six water penalties and only a 92. I had a lot of fun and I got lots of pictures. The views from here are spectacular. Kudos to Lee Trevino for his ace on 17. I hit it from the spot and my beutifully struck shot landed in the rocks and into the clear blue lake. :) Oh well. Just a fun round in Paradise. I would love to come back again and shoot better now I know not to think here but aim and pull the trigger.

Played 11/11/06 for $85 twilight rate with 12:45pm tee-time. Course was cart-path only as overseeding had occurred about a month prior. Tee'd off 15 minutes late due to volume and only got through 14 holes before pitch darkness. Drove up to #17 with hopes to play it in the dark just for grins but found three groups still waiting so headed into the clubhouse. In the dark, #18 looked tough - probably a great finishing hole. Overall, was very frustrated with Stadium - played front nine in 3 hours! Would play a hole in 12-20 minutes, then wait 20 minutes on the next tee-box, hole after hole after hole - 2 groups waiting on most every tee-box. Course was extremely difficult even from correct tee boxes. Be sure to get a yardage book, otherwise you'll stand on tee box and scratch your head just wondering where to hit it. Fairways were sloped and narrow but in good shape; the rough was brutal - long, grass bunkers everywhere, no even lie anywhere it seemed. Lots of sand and lots of water on the course as well. Fair amount of trees as well, although not typically in play. Greens were a bit slow and tricky. Although the course is routed through housing, the homes are set back enough not to be an issue. What we saw of the back 9 looked much tighter and tougher than the front nine, or maybe we were just whipped by the turn. Would love to play the course again if pace of play was good and rate was right - not $235 primetime. Maybe next summer instead. Overall, I found the course much harder than Wolf Creek in Mesquite despite similar slope rating. Put the driver away unless you hit it dead straight every time. At Stadium, it's fairway or death - no doubt.

Boy this course was my personal kyptonite! I mean not only was it hot but 50 yards in was jail if you didn't hit the green. Course being prepared for overseeding so fairways were burned out. Greens ran VERY true and amazing how you can stick a shot and not leave a divot. Tee Boxes are flat. Fairway well it's burned out dude to their preparation for overseeding. Looks more like the surface of the moon but all should be good in a few weeks.

I liked this course, it is a difficult course. Played during the summer so it was a little dry and they had just turned off the water to prep for the overseeding. I can't imagine this is going to be a place to play in the next couple of weeks due to the maintenance. But it is a place I would go back to, I got the package deal with the La Quinta Resort so I can't say if the regular greens fee is worth it since I don't know what it is. This is a great test of golf.

Played 8-6-06. Incredible course. Very hard but fun. Course not in the best shape but price was right for off season. Beware of snooty locals who dont care for outsiders on the course. For kicks, You have to hit from the black on 17 "The Alcatraz" and hit the green. Due to the heat all the fish were floating dead and stunk up the place but it gave reality to the name. A must play course but should not be rated as high as it is.

Great course but if you don't hit fairways and greens it will eat you up. Anytime a bunker has steps you know you are in trouble.

great course, typical pete dye. play in the summer only if you're a "dye -hard"... it gets brutally hot. you can drink a gallon of water and not relieve yourself the whole round. overall a must play.
