Golf Course Reviews
Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!Course continues to be in very nice condition with the weather turning hot. Played several times recently. Good POP considering the course has been very busy, usually around 4.5H.
Tees and fairways lush and well maintained. Sand is almost immaculate. Rough mostly dormant Bermuda. Lies can vary from looking like it was teed up on a tee box to sitting down so much advancing it with a longer club is unlikely within a small area.
Bermuda greens are excellent. Smooth, firm and medium fast. Chips w/o spin downhill may not stop until they reach the other side fringe. Almost no ball marks and putts roll really well.
Customer service excellent both inside/outside the club. Practice facilities and the GPS on the carts both excellent. Restaurant good for a golf course. Men's lounge nice place to have a meal or get a drink with numerous big screen TV's in a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Played several times recently. POP good considering how busy the course has been. Usually 4-4.5H as a 4some. Weather conditions have been excellent with temps in the mid 80's to low 90's over the last week.
The course is in very nice shape. Greens smooth, firm and medium fast. Tees well maintained. Fairways mostly lush with the Bermuda beginning to take over from the winter rye. Rough mostly clumpy, dormant Bermuda which usually produces iffy lies. Sand traps immaculate.
Customer service excellent. Nice restaurant on site. Practice facilities very good. Good GPS on carts on a very spread out, almost unwalkable layout. Highly recommended.

Course continues to be in very nice condition with most nights around 50 and most days around 75. Played several times this week in a 1-2 club wind and good POP.

I previously commented on what IMO was the over reach and heavy handed approach of a few employees and volunteers here. Someone must have listened to my detailed critique with numerous examples I had witnessed others be subjected to on the club annual survey. At least in my presence, the few that were going overboard are much more customer service and make the guest feel welcome oriented. Nice and welcome improvement in one of the few complaints I have had about anything in my 4 years here.

Course continues to be in very nice condition with most nights in the mid 40's and most days in the mid 70's. Played several times this week in a 1-2 club wind with good POP.
Tees and fairways lush and well maintained. Sand near immaculate. Rough mostly dormant Bermuda. Lies can vary from looking like it was teed up on a tee box to sitting down so much advancing it with a longer club probably not happening within a small area.
Bermuda greens are the hi-light here. Smooth, firm and medium fast. Chips w/o spin downhill may not stop until they reach the other side fringe. Almost no ball marks, putts roll really well.

Played Super Bowl Sunday mid day. Course surprisingly not crowded considering it was clear, calm and in the low 80's.
Lush but not as lush as a month ago. Playing firm and fast from tee to green. Greens smooth and firm. Tee boxes and fairways near immaculate. Sand is immaculate. Rough a mixture of grasses, not tall but the lies will vary greatly within a small area.
Excellent practice facility and customer service. Highly recommended.

Have been getting around in less than 3.5H in most recent rounds. Course less busy than expected because the temps went down from low 80's to low 50's within a week.
Course very lush. Greens smooth, quick and firm with very few ball marks.
Rough very hit and miss with good coverage. Lush to clumpy in a small area. Tee boxes, fairways and sand all about as immaculately maintained as you will see anywhere.
Pro shop and Bag attendants are always helpful and top notch here. Nice practice area and restaurant on site. Highly recommended.

4H, 45M POP as a 4some. A friend of a friend played with us. Not a bad golfer, really nice guy. But 3+ practice swings on every shot coupled with him having challenges reading/putting these greens really added to the time on the round. We let 3 groups (2 were singles) play through. Teed off @ 12:20 and did not think we were going to finish. Easily 1H more than I would normally expect playing twilight during the week when the course was not very crowded.
Layout still very lush. Greens firm, smooth and medium fast. Traps, fairways and tee boxes almost immaculate. Rough mostly lush with some patchy areas.
Customer service excellent. Outstanding range that now comes equipped with accurate yardage tracking on shots of you want to set it up and utilize it. Highly recommended.

Played numerous times since my last review here. Let's make this brief.
Lush. Pristine. Fazio layout. Conditions could hardly be improved on.
Carts with nice GPS, and they are needed. Very few attempt to walk here with the distance between many holes. Excellent practice facility, nice golf course restaurant. Excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

Played twice this week. With daytime temps consistently in the low 70 to low 80 range and night time temps in the low 50 range, the course has flourished. Possibly the nicest conditions I have experienced in the 3 years I have been playing this course. Very comparable to the times I have played Pebble Beach as a basis of comparison. It not only looks lush everywhere, it plays that way.
Sand traps fluffy white beach sand that is immaculately maintained.
Rough combination of dormant Bermuda, still green Bermuda and over seeded grasses. Weak link compared to the other parts of the course but excellent coverage everywhere and very playable.
Fairways a little higher than normal, which lessens the almost insane amount of roll when they are mowed low and playing quick/firm. Tee boxes very lush with most divots filled in.
Greens their normal firm and quick. The 2 Ventana courses have the best Bermuda greens I have ever putted on by a large margin. And they do not overseed the greens. There is evidently about a 125 mile wide band from south of Phoenix to roughly the US/Mexico border that agronomists determined that Bermuda greens should not be over seeded and they do better than over seeded greens do in that climate. It is such a joy (on the rare times I manage to do it) to just tap a downhill putt with break and watch it trickle smoothly into the hole.
Customer service always top notch. Highly recommended.

Course very lush. Greens smooth, quick and firm with very few ball marks. Downhill putts make me go STOP!!! about 4-5 times a round.
Rough very hit and miss with good coverage. Lush to clumpy in a small area. You can have a lie sitting up like on a tee and a few ft. away have a lie you can barely see the top of the ball.
Tee boxes, fairways and sand all about as immaculately maintained as you will see anywhere.
CPO until this coming weekend still slows play. But have been getting around in less than 4H in most recent rounds.
