Played here on 6/30 as well...2nd round of 36 at the Oasis facility for the day. Paid 55 for the first and 25 for the 2nd round.

Pace of Play - 7/10. We were told that there was no one out and no groups going until 10:30. We teed off at about 10:15. As I mentioned before, we play sub-3 hour rounds generally, so we ended up catching up to people on hole 5. It was a two-some and it was clear they didn't want us to play through so we hung back but if definitely made the round longer. We actually even stopped and went in a local open house while waiting for a backup to clear on hole 16.

Fairways - 8/10. Little thin in some spots but we've played on worse before so no issues here.

Rough - 7/10 - same as the Palmer. Little thin in some areas and weedy in the desert areas. No issue finding or hitting your ball out of it for the most part though. No complaints here.

Greens - 6/10 - in all fairness - we knew they punched 10 days before and the lady in the pro shop let us go look at the 1st green before deciding we were going to play the second round. You could definitely tell that they were punched recently but they were healing up. The remnants of the aeration were visible and were just big enough to alter putts.

Boxes - 8/10. Good to go here...always could find flat land to hit off of...little thin on a few but nothing to write home about.

Sand - wasn't in any bunks, so wouldn't feel right commenting on this one.

Overall - another staple in the rotation for us that will remain there. We like this one just a little more than we like some of the other local courses (falcon, palmer, palms). Highly recommend this one if you get a chance to play.

Played 6/30 so I know I'm a little behind...but just got home and back to internet service today.

Pace of play - 10/10. Played just as a twosome, and although we didn't have the first tee time we were basically first off. Never caught any one or had anyone get within 4 holes of us from behind. Finished in sub-3 hours.

Sand - 8/10. Was only in one bunker...little thin and was still wet from the morning watering so it was heavy. No complaints given the rest of the round.

Fairways - 8/10. Some patchy spots but I guess that's what I would expect for middle of summer in mesquite. Certainly nothing to knock this course down for.

Greens - 9/10. Definitely a tale of two types here - the front were slow and wet and the back were dried out and fast. Both rolled true and were mowed nicely.

Rough - 7/10. Little thin in more than a few areas. Weedy in some of the desert areas, but it is the middle of summer so not something I'd skip over the course for.

Overall - I would definitely recommend this course. If you go in summer, be prepared and bring water/gatorade cause the water stations are about every 6 holes here. This is one that is a mainstay in our rotation in mesquite and will continue to stay there.

Played yesterday before coverage of the Masters started...

Pace of play was great. We were the 2nd group out and didn't wait until the 14th hole when the group in front of us was driving around in the bushes looking for their balls. Overall the pace was great as we teed off at 0630 and finished at 1010. Greens were in fantastic shape. Dried out a little as the sun came up and got a little faster, but rolled smooth and true. Boxes and fairways were not great. Looked like they were getting ready to punch the fairways, and even had hole 6 punched already (along with all the little turds sitting there in the fairway). Would have been okay if they pulled those off, but it was not as aesthetically pleasing as the hole normally is. Would highly recommend this course as long as you're off early in the morning. Might want to wait a few weeks until the maintenance is complete though.

Played the front 9 twice on Friday after the rains...was sorely disappointed. Boxes were pretty good, but that was about it. Fairways looked like dead weeds with pockets of new weeds growing. Very little green in the fairways. Greens were in good condition with the exception of ball marks. Greens were VERY slow. Rough was okay...again very spotty but better than the fairways. Natural area was nothing but weeds and dead bushes. A few hours of yardwork would go a long way here. After years of being a great course, I definitely won't be back until I see a few more positive reviews here.

Played sunday morning as a 4 some. Got out a few minutes early and there was no one in front of us. We didn't ever catch the group ahead of us nor did anyone hit into us from behind. Great job spreading out the tee times there.

Overall the course is in great shape. Only complaint is that they either (1) overwatered the fairways (entirely possible due to the heat we've had) or (2) we played right after they watered. We didn't see any sprinklers on so I'm going to guess it was the former and not the latter. Complete coverage of fairways and most of the rough (little thinner the farther away you get, but they used mulch/chips). Boxes were pretty level and you could always find a good place to hit from. Greens were in great shape with most ball marks repaired. Quick and true for the most part as they dried out. Sand was soft and easy to hit from.

Overall a great place to play, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick, cheap round.

Played this course in the AM...first group out. Overall impression is that this course is a great little track. Starter gave us some pointers as this was our first time here and they definitely helped..super nice guy named Jim.

Greens - 8/10. Rolled nicely, only reason I won't go higher is a few of them were inconsistent on speed, and a few had some leftover ball marks that any maintenance guy could have walked and fixed. Overall though, they were great.

Boxes - 7/10. In general they were solid. Few were on uneven lies so that's why I knocked it down a couple ticks. Ground was hard on a couple but I don't think thats the courses fault but when it's hard to stick your tee in the ground it becomes the problem.

Fairways - 8/10. Also solid in a general sense. Once I finally got going and found a few fairways, they were soft and green. Only one was a little thin which I don't think was too much of a problem.

Rough - 7/10. Definitely longer than the fairway grass but not too punishing. Rated down a couple spots due to some bare spots that could have been addressed.

Sand - 7/10. I'll rank this based on the 1 bunker that I was in....sand was fluffy...too soft for me but definitely playable nonetheless.

Got out today for the first time in a while...man I missed it. Little rainy/cold at the start but overall couldn't complain about the weather at all.

2 words describe this course - bird turds. Every hole with the exception of maybe 1 or two was covered with those little remnants of the coots and geese that are all over here. With all the rain the last few weeks, it looked as though the maintenance crew will have their hands full in the very near future. Right off hole number 1 was a few large mud piles, and quite a few mud tracks where the water has definitely taken its toll. Overall course was in okay condition given the recent weather, but once the rain lets up they better get it under control quickly.

Boxes - 5/10. Could always find a flat spot to hit from, but they were all VERY shaggy. Some of the par 3s were loaded with divots so a few steps back was required.

Fairways - 5/10. Also VERY shaggy. The above maintenance comment directly applies here.

Rough - 5/10 - same as the fairways. Some holes were difficult to ascertain the difference. Quite a few weeds on the course as well, a half hour of picking weeds would make a huge visual difference.

Sand - n/a. Was lucky enough to stay out of them, so no experience/comment here.

Greens - 8/10. This was the bright spot of the round. Greens were great today. Rolled true and only one hole had bumps that impacted the putting. Little inconsistent speed-wise but nothing to worry about here.

Pace of play - 9/10. Got out at 7:00am on a saturday morning as a 2 some, and finished in under 4 hours. Can't complain at all about this.

Played yesterday (01/13) morning.

Course was cart path only - which I can understand on some of the holes, but some were completely dry and should have been normal operations. Course in general was okay at best - and for that reason I won't go into my normal detail on a review. Boxes were okay, fairways were okay but greens were horrible. Far too soft and everyone who putted left spike marks in/around the hole, as well as quite a few marks. A little unfair to write a review on a course after the amount of rain we've had, so i'll leave it at that.

All I can say is WOW.

The course is awesome. Fantastic even. I will knock the course a little though for their clubhouse. Here you are pulling into this facility and you see an awesome practice area, a few of the holes, and then a clubhouse that looks like they grabbed a couple double wides and smashed them together.

Greens - 8/10. ONLY reason this is being knocked down is because there were about 3 holes that they didn't mow and roll. They were shaggy and WAY slower than the rest of th course.

Boxes - 9/10. Generally you could find some great areas to hit from with plenty of grass. Few of the boxes were on some uneven lies but nothing that would impact most golfers.

Fairways - 76/10. This is where I have an issue with the course management here. Quite a few of the fairways were soaked - like the kind where you stand there and it's squishy under your feet. Not sure how much if any rain that they got, so I don't know if it's a management issue or a drainage problem. Nothing worse then trying to hit and getting 5 inches deep because it's so wet. But - I will say that they were all green all the way through and a few warm days would probably have this place being a gem in no time.

Rough - 8/10. Pretty consistent here...thick stuff all around but definitely playable on all holes.

Sand - 7/10. Thick on most of the bunkers that I was lucky enough to find myself in.

Will definitely play this course again if I'm in the area.

Played Wednesday morning, had to endure a light rain for a few holes.

Course is in average at best condition. Greens were good - true, decent speed and not too many ball marks that were unrepaired. Would rate them a 7/10.

Boxes were sub-par. While on most you could find a level spot to hit from, there were a lot of divots and the grass wasn't too full on most of them. Quite a few dead spots. Would give them a 5/10.

Sand - only got to visit one beach on this round...sand was thick and wet - likely due to the rain that we endured and the thick, heavy air. Can't really knock the course for that when they don't have too much control over the weather.

Rough was pretty dead. After years of having played in the thick, lush rough at Tierra, this was a different experience. Could always find a way to hit the ball and often even got a little run out of it. Would rate it a 6/10 just based on knowing what it once was.

Fairways - this was the worst part of the course. WAYYYYY too many dead spots on the fairways. Very thin in the areas that had grass too. Would give this a 4/10.

Bottom line - Tierra is a fun layout and I will 100% be back, but will probably give it a little bit of time to get the conditions back a little before heading back out.

Its been a while since I've played here, and the first time that I've touched a club in a month so needless to say I went back to my favorite local course. Played this morning at 605 as a single. Second person out on the course; still a little dark when teeing off, so you know this was a quick round. Was actually back home in Saugus by 930.

Got out for $49 riding.

Boxes - 8/10. Generally level, could find a good lie on every one. Only thing keeping this down is that several of them were a little thin where they placed the rocks today. Had they been 5-10 feet forward or backwards, probably would have given this a 10. Overall, VERY playable and certainly not something to deter anyone from the course.

Bunks - 7/10. Found myself in a few today unfortunately. Both greenside and fairway. The greenside bunks were nice and full. Being so early they were a little wet and heavy, but I would surmise that by 10am they were in great shape. The fairway bunks were thin. 100% opposite the greenside bunks. I ended up pulling my ball out of the third one I went in since I wasn't keeping score.

Fairways - 8/10. Fantastic, given the water situation this state has put itself in over the last few years. Found a few thin lies but overall was pretty impressed with the state of the fairways.

Greens - 9/10. These were the highlight of the round. Every one of them was in great shape and rolled true. Only reason I can't give them a 10/10 is because there were a bunch of ball marks that weren't fixed. Not the courses fault per se, but I did have a crew of guys 2 holes in front me the entire day and a work following me on every hole to change the cup location - any of them could have fixed the ball marks.

Rough - 5/10. If there was any negative at all here, it was the rough. Depending on what you prefer, this could have been a much higher rating. Personally, I like the rough to be longer than what is out there currently (guessing it's due to lack of water, but that's pure speculation). Rough looked to be a similar length to the fairway, just yellow-er grass.

Side note - the hillsides/waste areas were VERY clean. Made it really easy to find a lot of balls today.

Overall - highly recommend this course anytime, but I have a bit of a bias for it since I grew up in the neighborhood you can see on the other side of the freeway on holes 2/3 and played here every day when I was learning how to golf.

First time ever playing this course...wasn't sure what to expect. Read reviews and google mapped the course to try and get an idea of what we were in for before we got there. Had to remember that the Utah border is an hour time diff from Nevada, so don't forget that if you decide to play there. Greeter told us that the front was wide open and the back was target golf. We played from the tips, and didn't feel that way at all. The front was definitely wide open, but the back was more like a Champions Club at the Retreat or Black Gold - definitely tighter, but still could pull the driver on just about every par 4 or 5.

PoP - 9/10. Got out just the 2 of us, an hour early. Pro Shop told us "if you don't need to hit, you can get out ahead of 3 4-somes and fly around", and we jumped on it. We finished the first round in 3 hours, and only took that long because I had to deal with an issue with our landscape guy that took about 10 minutes making phone calls.

Greens - 7/10. Would say they were running about a 12. Some of the holes were cut in spots that were impossible to hit - that kind was kind of crappy, but really the only complaint I could possibly have. Even the greeter suggested that the Superintendent didn't like golfers with where they were cut that day.

Fairways - 7/10. Think I counted a total of 4 brown spots on the fairways. They do a great job here, and there were zero complaints here.

Boxes - 9/10. Zero complaints here. Few spots needed sanding, so we took care of that, but always found flat, good coverage. Seemed pretty consistent with the fairways in terms of thickness.

Bunkers - 6/10. Soft, fluffy sand. Visually pleasing. No complaints here.

Overall - this is definitely a course that we'll add to our rotation when we go to mesquite. It's about a 45 minute drive from mesquite, so not too far at all. They had a deal going that day that gave us lunch as well.
