02What golfers say

The word on the course.

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

A polished 27-hole resort club (Acacia, Ironwood, Mesquite) with rolling, well-manicured fairways and heavily bunkered greens — playable from the forward tees but penal in the sand for stronger players. The Scott Miller design draws steady praise for conditioning and a generous mix-and-match layout.

Best forVariety

Consistently praised

Three distinct nines you can mix, all in resort-grade condition with wide landing areas.
Ironwood and Acacia singled out for elevation changes and well-built greens.

Worth knowing

Hundreds of bunkers punish loose tee shots; higher handicaps get nibbled in the sand.

Golfers recommend

Pick the right tee set; it plays very fair forward and far tougher from the back.
Each nine ends with water in play — leave something in the tank.
