Played 12/10. 12:30 tee time. Online rate of $36+tax. Played this course with a friend who is playing here next weekend in a tournament. No changes in the course layout from when I reviewed it a little over a year ago. It's a generally wide open flat golf course. Most of the holes are straight. Housing developments are around the perimeter of the golf course. Fairways and rough are generous. Desert areas have some mature trees, but it is clear of small plants and you're hitting off of hard pan. Greens are pretty large and mostly flat. The four Par 3's are challenging. Especially hole #12. It's 220 yards on the card but today with the pin back it was all of 235 yards. The Par 5's range between 520 - 546 yards. If you're long, you have a decent shot to get to them in 2. It's the Par 4's that give you a great chance to score. Holes #8 & #9 are 441 & 435 yards respectively, but after that all the Par 4's on the back nine are 400 yards or less.

Conditions were fair - good. They over seeded the tee boxes, fairways, and greens. Some holes had some soggy and even muddy areas. Most notably the left side of hole #10. The fairways I rated only fair. There were many bare spots and thin areas. Also, not many people are using the sand bottles in their carts. There was a lot of divot damage. The rough was dormant bermuda grass. Pretty easy to play from. Ball doesn't spin as much. Sand traps were inconsistent. Some were fine and others have heavy packed down sand. Greens were good. They were soft underfoot. Medium - slow. (9.5 to 10) Don't over read them. Most putts are straight. Tee boxes were in good condition.

Outside service was weak. The ranger had to tell us which cart to use. The beverage cart came around 5 times. Good practice range. Nice chipping and putting area. Others I played with said the food from the restaurant was very good. POP was 3 hrs 45 mins. They have GPS in the carts now. OK value for the conditions. Submitted 4 pics.
