Enjoyed yet another excellent GK Outing on T - Tuesday at the Classic Club. Played the Front 9 twice with Johnny, Gary, and Matt to complete the 2-Day – 72 Hole Extravaganza of Golf in the Desert! WOW, it really happened! CC is another Players Course in the Desert. I believe it is one of the best layouts in the Desert and would also place it in my Top 3 of the Desert. CC is a Championship Style course where your game simply needs to show up. It is by no means a target golf course, but accuracy is needed from tee to green if you want to have a good scoring round. This course shows its beauty and teeth in its elevation changes and hole design. You will find open fairways to hit at, but lots of bunkers, undulations, and occasional water. Greens are generally mid to large in size and rolled fast and pure. At times the wind howled at us, but it was in limited windows. The course played its yardage, and I note CC as another Ball Striker’s Course without being a target layout. The course was in excellent condition. The course layout is rated a 5 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.5 out of 5. I note the following: Tee Boxes: Level and lush, no damage. Excellent condition. Fairways: Green at times tight. Excellent condition. Greens: Green, fast in speed with nice hold, while still holding quality shots. Speed at about an 11. Excellent condition. Sand: Well-maintained heavy but not hard. Excellent condition. Rough: Well defined from the fairway and green collars but not too overgrown, about 2 – 4 inches. Excellent condition. Waste Areas: Observed on various holes and did not offer much opportunity of recovery due to the overgrown nature. Excellent condition. Driving Range: The range was very nice. Hitting off a grass surface. Situated on a flat section of the facility and hitting into a grassland with green markers at 100, 150, 200, 225, and 250 yards. Range ran out at about 350ish. Range balls were top of the line Titleist Practice balls. Very nice! Practice Putting Green: ample and very well maintained. Surface speed was consistent with the course greens. Chipping Green: ample and very well maintained. Several pins noted to work on the short-game, along with sand bunkering. POP: 4 hours – very little wait encountered. Food: awesome restaurant at the turn, the food was incredible. Also had an ABC Burger here, it was a perfect! Service: we received incredible service from Bag Drop, in the Pro Shop, and in the Restaurant. Top class! I loved CC and wish I could have played the Back 9. This is a must play when you are in the Desert. As previously mentioned, this is one of my Top 3 of the Desert. Just a top-notch course and facility. A 5-Star golf experience all the way. Strongly endorsed! Thank you Johnny and GK for this outing!
