Walked this course yesterday (7/19/12) with a friend and a nice 2-some that joined us. One of the 2 was a greenskeeper.org subscriber, Kevin. Great group to play with. The course is a fun course to play especially for a 20 or so handicapper like myself. We played white tees and a challenging but fair course. *I will say right here that one issue that marred an otherwise enjoyable round. Most (if not all) of the water containers were empty. It was a 95+ degree day. A couple of us had water bottles in our bag but when they were empty, we could not refill them until the 17th hole!! It seemed that the cans were empty to encourage sales for the cart girl but I hope that wasn't the case.
Overall course in great condition. Wind is a factor especially in the afternoon. Par 3's look benign but tricky greens and hazards in foreground challenge your committment to yardage. Dry riverbeds and desert brush are the penalty for missing somewhat generous fairways. Greens are quick and hidden undulations that will tax your green reading skills.
I tried to do too much (which is why I'm a high handicapper ) but if you take your time hit the safe shot, you can score. Some of the greens have several levels and just hitting the green doesn't mean you won't be punished with a 3putt. Overall, a favorite course to play but PLEASE GUYS, FILL UP THE WATER JUGS !!!
