The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A player-friendly David Ginkel layout that golfers single out for some of the best conditioning and greens in the valley, with wide fairways, few forced carries, and water and waterfalls for scenery rather than terror. Widely regarded as one of the better daily-fee values in the desert.
Consistently praised
- Conditioning and putting surfaces golfers repeatedly call country-club or tournament caliber.
- Wide, forgiving fairways with few forced carries, plus lakes, streams and waterfalls.
Worth knowing
- The routing threads through residential pockets, so some green-to-tee transitions are long.
Golfers recommend
- Come for a clean, stress-free round rather than a brutal test.
- Best appreciated as a value play when premium desert courses are charging top dollar.
