Oleander bushes line the first fairway and other areas on course. While this sounds lovely, the reality is that if you hit a ball in there – you will search for 10 minutes - find 5 other balls but not your own - Really slows things down in snowbird season. The course logo should be a snowbirds backsides sticking out of an oleander bush.
Sand traps with less than 2" of sand and rocks as big as 2" - Save your clubs - take an unplayable lie.
You must give them your drivers license to rent a golf cart. Do not treat me like a thief and expect me to come back!
Greens fringed with grass longer than the rough.
Cups pulled high so that putts will break all directions. The only putts that go in are dead center - back of the cup. Is this any way to run a course?

Fairways and greens in good condition, Sand traps terrible-more like gravel than sand. Overprieced compared to other courses in the area, but a City course, so not unexpected
