The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
An old-school 1969 Jimmy Hines layout that golfers compare to a northern parkland course, with mature tree-lined fairways that punish wayward drives and an unusually long, demanding set of par 3s. It plays as a shot-maker’s track where shaping the ball both ways matters more than length.
Consistently praised
- Mature, tree-lined fairways and a classic parkland feel unlike typical desert target golf.
- Walkable, gentler terrain that golfers liken to a Midwestern or northern course.
Worth knowing
- Trees overhang the lines and the par 3s are long; private, generally member-guest access.
Golfers recommend
- Favor positioning and shot shape off the tee over driver.
- Pick a tee that keeps those long par 3s playable rather than backing up to the tips.
