Played 11/3/12 at 8AM. Their driving range is auto loader with giant netting. (Range Mat has a hole with rubber tee sticking out and when you hit the ball or roll one off, tee will go down and load up another golf ball). Not a typical range you normally see. They have large putting green with about 5 holes so if you're just looking to roll few putts to gauge the speed, you have plenty of room even during busy times. Starter ran through local rules and young lady took our photos which you have option of purchasing at the end of the round for $20. Similar to many of the other courses in the area, this course was also in the late stages of transition period from the over seeding. Tee boxes were probably the worst aspect of the course. It was pretty bare on many of the holes. This was an issue for one of our player on all par 3's since he doesn't tee the ball so bare area played similar to packed bunker to him. It didn't affect other players. Fairways were in overall good shape with very minor transition issues (Rye has grown out full but bermuda was dormant so ball will sit in a small hole/slot making the shot little more difficult). Bunkers were very soft but it was very consistent and in great condition. Greens were in 2 shades of color (Bermuda and Rye over seed) so it didn't look as pretty but putted true and smooth. It was receptive and overall in great shape. Bali Hai is a fantasy golf land for high rollers so even though fairways are pretty narrow, it is banked towards the middle so its fairly forgiving. With the collection of hundreds (maybe thousands?) of palm tree lined fairways, you can easily mistake that you're in some sub tropical area. The collection of the par 3's here are one of the best I've played. Combination of variety of yardage, elevation, and beautiful vista, all the Par 3's really stood out. Layout is pretty interesting but they are somewhat cramped together so some wild shots can end up in your fairways so be careful when people are teeing off. Course was very busy with first tee box packed with 2 to 3 sets of foursomes waiting to tee off so you may want to avoid those times if you want to play quickly. Since we got out at 8AM, we finished before noon. This is my 2nd time playing here and given the opportunity, I love to play here as long as I don't have to fork over 3 Benjamins.
