Thought this was a great course at a good price, and would play again. Fairways and greens were in great shape and all the trees lining the fairways and greens gave the feel that you were playing in a forest and not a desert. Several holes also had water around them. For the down side, play was very slow. Took us well over 4 hours to play 15 holes and were looking at a 5+ hour round for sure except we had to leave to get the rental car back in time. Considering the length and difficulty of the track, should not play this slow. Also, only saw the beverage cart once during the round, which was early on.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Price, Ambiance, No Houses on Course
