Played here today (9/5) with GK member Abbacat (Wendy) on a 7:04am tee time under threat of rain/lightning that never came to fruition thankfully. Had heard nothing but great things about this course but being it’s over 2 hours away, never thought I’d get the chance to play. Wendy was nice enough to offer the chance on her way out of AZ and my way back home and we made it happen, thankful to have gotten to try this course out, even if conditions were far from prestige with fall maintenance less than a week away! Tees: no issues on the blue tee boxes I played, but the red boxes Wendy played had more than a few uneven lies. Lots of tee options to chose from too for golfers of all skill levels. Fairways: good shape given the storm that passed hours before tee off and the fact summer was unkind im sure. No issues with roll or lies. Rough: the rough here is minimal; the native rough in the land that flanks the course is beyond penal. I lost a drive to it on the back 9 and didn’t even bother trying to look. Sand: this place has the name dunes for a reason; bunkers litter every hole, all shapes and sizes so best to get used to the dirt-like sand you’ll encounter. Greens: good shape as well, though they didn’t hold a single shot all day. They were firm, quick, and undulation was very tricky for me today. ETC: very nice property isolated from everything. Staff was friendly all around (they even offered bug spray!) and frankly this place could charge twice what it does and get away with it but they don’t. Facilities reek of Troon class all-around; clubhouse had everything you could ever want. Pace today was insanely good at 4 hours even with the groups behind us pushing us from beginning to end! Highly recommend.
