02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

A showpiece resort course, a Clive Clark design built around streams, waterfalls, split-level lakes and lavish flowers with mountain views on nearly every hole. It tests strategy more than length, and most call the front a gentle warmup before a more dramatic, water-heavy back nine.

Best forScenery

Consistently praised

Spectacular eye candy: cascading waterfalls, lakes, vivid flowers and constant mountain views.
A strategic, well-bunkered layout that rewards smart play rather than pure distance.

Worth knowing

Firm greens can be hard to hold, and some find the front nine pretty but tame next to the back.

Golfers recommend

The water-heavy back nine, including the short par-4 13th over a lake, is the memorable stretch.
Bring more club thinking than horsepower; placement beats bombing.
