Golf Course Reviews
Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!Range and practice greens both upper level quality wise. Nice GPS on carts. Restaurant good for a golf course with a good selection. POP excellent with few golfers out braving the 100+ degree temps even early in the day. Course beginning to get "summer scruffy" around the edges. With temps frequently above 100 and fewer golfers, my observation is that they do not mow the rough very often this time of year. Rough is hit/miss and you cannot count on it stopping balls hit around the edges of fairways. Areas getting overspray from the fairways can be lush/deep. But areas 5' away can be low/thin. Fairways and tees still mostly lush but showing the effects of the heat. Sand traps almost always nicely maintained here. Greens back to outstanding again a month out from sanding/punching. This time of year they are firm, smooth and quick. Downhill putts can be almost impossible on some hole locations. So you need to plan and execute your approach shots accordingly. Highly recommended.
Course beginning to get "summer scruffy" around the edges with temps frequently above 100. Rough is hit/miss and you cannot count on it stopping balls hit around the edges of fairways. Normally you can see your ball in the rough from 50 yards away here. I had to almost step on my ball yesterday to find it right beside the fairway where it was lush/deep. Fairways and tees still mostly lush but showing the effects of the heat with thinner spots. Sand traps almost always nicely maintained here. Greens back to outstanding again a month out from sanding/punching. This time of year they are smooth, firm and quick. With downhill putts on some hole locations treacherous. So you better plan and execute your approach shots accordingly. Range and practice greens quality wise are upper tier. Nice GPS on carts. Restaurant good selection for a golf course. Highly recommended.
Course is in very nice shoulder season condition. Played many rounds on Mountain recently with the Canyon greens the last to be punched. Greens back to medium fast and smooth. Firm again. Almost borderline unreasonably fast going downhill. So course management is a must. You just can not get above certain pins or 3, even 4 putts is likely. Had my first one of the season recently, gotta love those 5's on par 3's where you had a long birdie putt to start with. Bermuda lush on the tee's/fairways. Rough patchy hit/mniss, mowed low. Mowed low around the greens, you can definitely use putter from well off many greenw currently. Which when going over large mounds to a firm, quick green is frequently a safer play IMO. Nice range, carts, GPS. Good restaurant onsite. Highly recommended.
Played Canyon for the first time this month yesterday. Greens were punched/sanded about 2 weeks ago. Surprised they are still not close to being really firm/smooth again yet. Medium speed and bumpy compared to normal here. Fairways/Tees very nice with the Bermuda out in full force with warmer temps. Greenside traps really nice, fairway traps thinner and more hard packed. Fringes mowed down, which is not a good thing on the many holes with false fronts or drop offs from on or coming across greens. But do provide more bump run opportunities when short sided from just off many greens. Rough patchy hit/miss, mowed low. Range, carts, GPS excellent. Restaurant/men's lounge provides decent food in a friendly atmosphere. Recommended.
Greens were punched/sanded about a week ago, medium speed and bumpy compared to normal here. Probably 7-10 days from being smooth and quick again. Fairways/Tees very nice with the Bermuda out in full force with warmer temps. Greenside traps really nice, fairway traps have more rocks than I remember from years ago. Fringes mowed down, which is not a good thing on the many holes with false fronts or drop offs from on or coming across greens. But do provide more bump run opportunities when short sided from just off many greens. Many areas of the course have been vericut, which does not affect playability. Rough patchy hit/miss, mowed low. Range, carts, GPS excellent. Restaurant/men's lounge provides decent food in a friendly atmosphere. Recommended overall in spite of the current so-so greens, but play Mountain instead until about June 10th.
Played many rounds on Mountain recently with the Canyon greens recently punched. Course is in very nice shoulder season condition. Greens back to medium fast and smooth. And for the first time in memory, you can stop irons close to their newly made ball mark. Which creates a whole another set of issues after people are used to there being nothing but a dent to maybe fix if you can maybe find it where an iron landed. I have gotten used to playing for roll out, so coming up a club short is the new normal while I ascertain if this is just a few day issue or if that is the way they are now going to play. But I have seen more divot ball marks on greens in the last week than in the last several years here.
Many areas of the course have been vericut, which does not affect playability. And the same issue on the greens is present in the fairways. Balls plugging or barely rolling when you normally get 50 yards of roll creates a different course.
Bermuda coming out well on the Tee's/fairways, very lush. Rough patchy hit/mniss, mowed low. Mowed low around the greens, you can definitely use putter from well off greenws currently. Which when going over large mounds to a firm, quick green is frequently a safer play IMO. Nice range, carts, GPS. Good restaurant onsite. highly recommended.

Played many rounds on Canyon recently with Mountain greens punched. Course is in very nice shoulder season condition. Greens sanded but so far not punched this season. Barely affects anything but the way the greens look from afar after a couple days. Firm, smooth and medium quick, they putt nicely.

Greens were punched/sanded about 10 days ago, medium speed and bumpy. I rarely have any complaints here, but felt the need to call the pro shop this week when I found out my out of state guest was charged $148 at my guest rate to play on punched/sanded greens. Making the experience even worse was being scheduled to play a front 9 on Mountain with punched, medium slow, bumpy greens and then transitioning to a back 9 on Canyon with unpunched but sanded quick/smooth greens. Literally the same 30' putt that was 4' short on the front would suddenly be rolling 4' by on the back. Not only did I find the rate ridiculous. Also thought it was extremely poor planning/judgment to split scheduled 9's between courses that played so differently. And was very unhappy they were charging the same guest rate for both courses, so we played nothing but Canyon to play on good greens the rest of the week.
Fairways/Tees very nice with the Bermuda out in full force with warmer temps. Greenside traps really nice, fairway traps have more rocks than I remember from years ago. Fringes mowed down, which is not a good thing on the many holes with false fronts or drop offs from on or coming across greens.

Range, carts, GPS excellent. Restaurant/men's lounge provides decent food in a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended overall in spite of the above. But still a week away from all 18 greens being medium fast/smooth again.

Front 9 greens were punched/sanded last week, medium speed and bumpy. Back 9 greens have not yet been punched, normal medium fast/smooth. Which creates a whole new experience when you make the turn.

Course in very nice late Spring condition. Course playing firm and fast. Tees and Fairways very well maintained, lush with few unfixed divots. Few brown spots here and there beginning to show. Traps always well maintained here, but have more rocks than I remember from prior years. Greens are firm and medium fast with few ball marks. You have to play for roll out on these greens. Practice facitilies excellent. 2 putting greens, 2 practice chippings greens with sand traps. Only complain would be that often the range is set us to limit shots based on a 235 maximum distance, which prohibits Drivers for some players. Decent restaurant for a golf course. Customer service in the Pro shop and with the outside staff has been excellent this golf season. Layout is very spread out, so you rarely see a walker. Nice carts with very good GPS. Highly recommended.
Course is in excellent condition for early May. Bermuda coming out well. Layout plays firm and fast this time of year. Combination of that and the 2200' elevation makes for some long shots. Tees and Fairways lush and very well maintained. Rough is patchy hit and miss, mixture of many grasses, kept low and very playable. This is the time of year they lower it, which does not keep offline shots on the course but it is easier to play out of if the ball actually stops in it. Sand traps well maintained, but has more rocks than I remember previously. Greens are firm and you have to play for roll out. This is my favorite time of the year to putt on these greens. They are firm and quick, but not ridiculously quick. You just need to know which holes not to miss above the hole. Excellent carts/GPS, fine customer service. Highly recommended.
