Played as part of a series of courses IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST.
Enjoyed more than higher priced rounds at some "nicer" courses that shall be nameless. (The Golf Vato is a charitable sort). Golf bro (who turned out to be a bit of a wuss toward the end but that is another story) booked through one of those other booking deal dealies.

Teeing off early am, the pace was great, no complaints about course condition. Challenging tee to green for The Golf Vato.

No bunker rakes in the bunkers, so, do best with your feet, and give yourself a bunker drop if you find yourself in someone else's print.

Another bro (who also turned out to be a bit of a wuss) noted the lack of shade trees after surveying his view on first tee.

Nice views, a number of dramatic, water in play holes mixed in with some that sort of blended in with the desert surroundings.

So, the Golf Vato gives this course a solid 4.5 beans out of a possible 5.
