The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A 27-hole Ted Robinson community club where the West and East nines combine into a relaxed, social, target-golf round set against the Santa Rosa Mountains. Forgiving and fun with strategic water rather than intimidation, and a standout stretch that plays through a rugged desert wash.
Consistently praised
- An easygoing, social vibe and strong visual appeal against the Santa Rosa peaks.
- Distinctive holes running through a rugged desert wash that contrasts the manicured turf.
Worth knowing
- Robinson’s water and small-game demands punish poor chipping and putting despite friendly fairways.
Golfers recommend
- This is 27 holes; the West/East combo is one of three possible 18s.
- Play it for fun and shot-making, not as a brutal championship test.
