I play this course pretty regularly . . sometime better than others. Played with a guy from Virginia who joined our group today, so I'll use his comments about the course as the basis for my review. Very interesting holes. Liked the fact that there were sunken and elevated greens. Liked the elevated tee boxes on many of the holes. Liked the elevation changes. Says they don't get a lot of elevation changes back in the Virginia area where he regulary plays. He said he really enjoys "desert golf" because of the forced carries, and although del Lago doesn't have a lot of "monster carries" off the tee box the ones that are there make you think about shaping your shot. The course conditions are very nice right now. We played early with a 7:22 tee time, and zoomed around the course quicker than we had ever played it before. The only drawback (if you want to call it that) was that there was a minimum of staffers available that early, so it was unload/load your own bags. If you were not familiar with the course layout, as our playing parter found himself to be, then it was a little "disconcerting" (to use his vergiage) to not know where to unload your bag . . whether you needed to load it on to a cart yourself, which cart to take, etc . . This is a nice course as I have mentioned in my previous reviews. Well worth the drive 20 minutes out of town to play.
