Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Thursday, February 2012 at 8am

Did a stay and play package, so not sure how much of the price was greens fees. Rack rate is $215, and that is definitely way over priced. We played all three nines several times over three days and each is a little different, but all are challenging and well designed. A few rather hinky holes with some pretty difficult placement of fairway to green carry, but overall a great place. The fairways are some of the best, conversely, the greens are horrid....lightening fast, rolled to the point that there really is no grass, and really hard to read made putting frustrating. Take plenty of balls.... the arroyos are hungry and steep, and finding errant shots mission impossible. The course staff are some of the most friendly and helpful we've ever seen. Not only did they offer tips on playing and reading greens, their dining recommendations were way better than the JW Marriott Concierge!

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
