Found a hot deal time for last Friday $42 after 15% promo code. I booked it before itslikeimsaying played his round but noticed some Instagram posts showing better conditions. It was worth a shot. I was very happy to see Marks's pictures and decent review. They are putting money into the lakes course and it shows. Visually the entire course looks fantastic. Blue tees were fine and solid coverage on every box. Par 3's a little chewed as usual but I was also late in the day. Fairways had good coverage throughout the course and was cut short which allowed extra roll. Even cut short the cushion was nice to hot from. As Mark noted there was poop on one of the holes which is from the wild donkeys that roam the desert. Keep an eye out on the right side of the freeway near the brake check area before coming down the mountain to the course and you will see them. Rough was longer than I have been use to playing and the ball sat down a bit. Even though it sat I don't believe it was that penal. Around the edges of the course the rough would have some bare spots but nothing really in play. Greens were very very slow. A few looked like they were redone in areas and while all the putts were smooth it just took a little extra oomf to get the putts to the hole. They did receive shots well and even allowed checks but just too slow. I was in 4 sand traps and all of them needed sand. I talked to the cart guys and that is the next item on the list that ownership is going to work on before attacking the Desert course. The POP was very slow as the course had a full tee sheet. We finished just around 5 hours which had I not been able to sneak out 1 hour early, I would have been close to not being able to finish. I am happy that this course is getting a little love as its a fantastic layout nicknamed Shadow (creek) Light. This being the cheapest Fazio course probably in the West it worth a play. PS They are hoping to have the desert course back to nice shape by summer. As of friday it is still in bad shape except for the greens which look fantastic.
