- This course has gone so far down hill it is not fathomable. Don't waste your time and money. Dead fairways, unraked traps with 4-6" of soft sand leaving 2" deep footprints. Greens are average at best. Be prepared to spend 5 1/2 hours out there. Have never played there when they were not at least 30 minutes behind by mid morning both during the week and on weekends. Layout is boring, not much character. Too many houses too close to the course.This used to be a nice course, but don't waste your time and money. Have played here several times in the past few years during the week and on weekends. If you go plan to spend the day. I have never teed off on time in more than half a dozen times. This weekday it was 40 minutes behind for a 10:00 tee time. After that is was 5 hours and 15 minutes. They have rangers but they spend more time sitting in their carts at the clubhouse than out on the course. Staff is friendly but rather inattentive.
Fairways are in horrible condition with numerous dead spots. Traps have so much sand in them that you "dig" in without trying to dig in. Hardly any rakes in the traps, and with 6" or so of soft sand you can imagine what kind of footprints you can get yourself info. Been to the Grand Canyon? Greens are inconsistent and many have fungus problems.
