The course has no real base to drawn on. The members are old (65+) and will not pay what it takes to make this a great track. It started out as a great course when Del Webb owned it and plowed the money into it to sell houses. After Del Webb left they turned the course over to the members. At that point the course started to go down. The members were not willing to pay what it took to keep the course at a great level. Several years later it had turned into a dog track. In came a group of Korean investors and took over the course. They plowed several million into it and got it looking fairly nice. The income generated could not keep it going at that level. Management doesn't have a clue as to how to operate a facility. They spend alot of money in all the wrong places. And that's how you get what you have now. It's a good layout that is ugly and cheap.

Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Worse than average course for the area

I have been playing this course for the last five years and it is in the best shape since I started playing it. The greens are very good, fairways are coming around. They have been watering like crazy all summer. A good over seeding of the fairways would be nice. The traps actually have sand.

Would travel: 10-20 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
