Pretty good conditions even in July. Greens a little crunchy and slow and bunkers a bit crusted over but when playing in 106 degree weather what do you expect? My gripe is lack of rough. If you get just a bit off the fairway you are done. Lost ball. A bush eats it or it skitters crazily across the desert to who knows where. If you are a high handicapper use irons off the tee. Or play elsewhere until your long game is more controllable. Losing too many balls on semi-ok tee shots sucks the fun out of the rest of the course for me. Other courses I might be in some big rough and can hack it out for a bogey. Not here, you are done.

Played afternoon of 4/29. Doesn't get much better than this unless you go private. Top Notch customer service. Nice carts. Fabulous clubhouse. Immaculate playing conditions. Even with 95+ degree heat at 3 PM the grass was perfect from tee to green on every hole. Great pace of play ~ 4 hours. Got out as a twosome. Just keep it out of the drainage channel on the right of a few holes and all is well.
