I played the Red course on a 1021 tee time on 5/6. The course complex was busy due to a tournament on the Gold course. Nobody at the bag drop.
Range balls included in the tee time and the range was in good shape with plenty of space and balls.
I had booked as a single and was told by the starter I was paired with three others. They didn’t show on time so I went out as a single. Ran into a sixsome who let me play through and another 4 that also let me play through. Play moved pretty quickly and I got through in about 4 hours but had to wait on nearly every shot.
I haven’t played here in a number of years and was surprised by conditions. Overall they were very good. Only negatives are the greens were very firm. Well struck shots still rolled out and I didn’t have to repair a ball mark all day. Sand traps seemed like they had too much sand. Difficult to get out of them. Also, many tee boxes were firm and difficult to get a tee in.
I have always enjoyed this traditional, non desert course. The finishing three holes are still difficult with a long, right to left par 4, a 225 yard par 3, and a true three shot par 5.
Rack rates on this course are still high but deals are out there. A good play right now.
