Played 4-15-24. Got out for a $35 rate. Course is still getting back to its one time perfect conditions. There are still some dry areas and the greens are recovering from aeration so a little slower than usual but a pleasure to play. I have always felt that you can put up with a lot of flaws if the greens are good and that is the case here. It is not the gem it once was but getting closer. Check it out if you are in the area it is well worth it!

Played 2 weeks ago. This is the third time in the last 2 months. It was an all time favorite for years, then things went downhill when Billy Casper Golf took over management. It has been slowly but surely coming back but still has a way to go. Fairways are a bit brown but nice to play from. Rough is pretty short and very nice to play out of. Sand was pretty good and was a pleasure to play from. As always here the greens were the highlight! Great hold, great speed and lots of fun putts. I keep hoping it will continue to improve. All 3 times we played here it was pretty quiet and making a tee time was easy. I hope more will come out and play so they won't decide to close it down but enjoying the experience of a wide open golf course. If you are in the area its a must play!

Played last week but have been too busy to sit and write this. Course is in decent shape. A bit brown still but fairly soft surface is nice to hit off of and gives decent roll. Greens hold nicely and rolled true. Speed was a bit slower than I'm used to here but played OK. As usual the sand was the biggest negative. Not just hard but lots of pebbles and some rocks. Didn't spend much time in them but a couple played nice with softer sand and some were hard, no consistency. Still a fun round of golf and decent price.

Have played a number of rounds this past month. The course had a rough time with the heavy rain but is dried out and looking pretty nice. They are still having issues with gofers. There are some patches of dirt but most of the fairways are pretty nice. The greens are running nice and fast again so putt with caution. They also have filled the bunkers with nice sand so they are a pleasure to play out of. Overall the course is in excellent shape with about a month left in the season. They will be closing at the end of October so get out and play while there is still time.

Today 5-26-23 was opening day for the course. It must be tough to get a course in top shape after 7 months but they have done a decent job. They are re-paving all the cart paths the base layer is done but still to be finished so the paths were blocked off and cart directed along the side of hem. This created a number of problems slowing play unfortunately. Greens are pretty slow but that should change soon. Fairways are in good shape and the rough is rough!!! The rough would make the Open rough seem tame 6 to 8 inches deep. You can lose a ball a couple feet off the fairway and if you find it hitting out of it will take some major strength. Bunkers are firm but better than what we found at Morongo or Green Tree. Looking forward to a great season ahead.

Played 5-22-23. Today was an OMG experience. Used to play this course on a weekly basis and then Billy Casper Golf took over management and it went steadily downhill till it was not worth even considering in our regular rotation. Haven't played here in over a year between bad conditions and an increase in crime. Heard things were improving so decided to give it another try. It is not back to its glory days but wow what an improvement. Fairways were lush and green, tee boxes had a few rough spots but mostly nice and the greens were smooth and soft. Green speed was medium fast though they used to be lightning fast. As seems to be the case in the desert the sand was marginal. Mostly hard packed and a bit damp with some puddles from the recent rains so hopeful they will dry out and get a little softer. We paid $37 senior rate for green fees and a cart so well worth it. We will be returning on a regular basis again and hope to see it continue to improve back to when we called it the hidden gem in the desert! If you are in the area or just looking for a new spot to play check it out.

Played 5-10-23. The course has changed substantially in the last couple weeks. Fairways are filling in nicely and the greens are looking great. Green speed is still a bit inconsistent but smooth and holding OK. Only real negative are the bunkers, though I wasn't in one all day(which is very rare) there was water puddled in a few and it was mostly hard pack with an occasional fluffy one. All the rain has helped get the course in what I would say is the best condition I have seen in a number of years. Lets hope this is the beginning of a great summer of golf for the course. I will definitely be returning on a regular basis.

Played 4-29-23. I have only played here once before and I was not overly impressed. Today the course was in very nice shape. Greens rolled true with good speed. Sand was soft and easy to play. Fairways had a few brown spots but very few. Tee boxes were level and lush. The course itself is a little unimaginative. Many holes have dog legs but all of them are dog leg left. I think there was 1 dog leg right. The scenery is striking. Flower covered hills around most of the course made it a quiet peaceful round. I would definitely play here again given the chance.

Played 4-19-23. The course is in as a good of shape as it has been in a number of years. Still a little bumpy in the fairways but good coverage. Little difference in the rough but a little thicker. Greens were smooth but slow. It has been a couple weeks since they were punched so maybe they are still getting them dialed in. As usual the biggest complaint is the sand. Bunkers were full of rocks, and I mean rocks. Ashwood has pebbles, these were rocks! Overall a decent place to get in a round right now. Was not busy and sailed around in a little over 4 hours.

Played 4-12-23. It was a bit windy but not uncommon here. Greens are recovering from being punched but they are offering a discounted rate. No GPS on the carts. Sand is firm but playable. Most of the pebbles have been cleared or new sand is covering them but not the problem it used to be. Fairways rough and tee boxes are in good shape and made it a pleasure to play. Not a fancy course but for a quick round, played in 3 hours, it is well worth the price.

Played today 3-27-23. Wow, what a disappointment!!! It is clear they are more concerned with building houses than maintaining the golf course. This course has always been a favorite of mine. In the past couple years I have been disappointed more often than not and today followed that pattern. Tee boxes were torn up and more like rough than fairway. Fairways were splotchy and more like a low end course than the quality course it used to be. We found 1 sand trap that was not filled with water. It's been a couple weeks since the heavy rains and nothing has been done to get the water out. Most traps where not a pond were covered with small pebbles and hard packed. Greens were the best thing and they did not hold shots and were painfully slow. I am not ready to give up on this course but very close to deciding not to ever play here again. I may be being stupid but I will hold out hope it will get better but I won't be surprised if in the next few years they close 1 of the courses to build more houses. Really sad!

Have been playing all summer and the course has been is OK shape but not what I have gotten used to here. Played Monday and with the recent rains the course is as nice as ever. Fairways lush, greens smooth and fast. The sand has improved as well. Much softer and well filled. Only real negative these day are the tee boxes. There are several that are more dirt than grass and a few that are humped so you are dealing with the choice of an uphill lie or downhill one. If you have ever considered playing here this is the time to do it! Only a month and a half till it closes for the season so make the trip and check it out!
