Frost delay? Get outta here. 10 degrees colder here than Palm Springs, so keep that in mind if you decide to come here. No GPS, but sporty carts. They should get GPS if they want to rise to the level of premiere golf course. This course, unlike Champions, has no construction going on, but you have to listen to the trains which run by a few holes. Pace was outstanding. We felt all alone on this course. They have a nice drink stop after 9. Cart service was very good and friendly rangers came by a few times. Loved the track and the picturesque holes here. The clubhouse is fantastic. Frost delay gave us a chance to enjoy an awesome breakfast. If you can get the $5 replay, by all means, drive up from the desert and play both wonderful courses. Comlimentary balls on the great driving range too. I highly recommend both bargain-priced courses, but would pay more for GPS.

I agree with the previous comment about the sand and cuts around the greens. They were not anywhere close to top-notch condition, but they rolled true. Played on 2/18/06 and d%mn near froze our asses off, so check the weather. It's ten degrees colder here than the Palm Springs area. No way is this course worthy of 4 1/2 stars, but it's a fun track. People were very nice there. No GPS, ancient ass carts too. The carts were so old, I felt that Bobby Jones might be playing ahead of us. Food was very good and service staff were very very nice. We didn't see enough of the cart girl, however. Pace was okay at best. First round of 36, we had to wait for some sorry foursome who took at least five hours to play. They were five holes in front of us when we started. Not a ranger to be seen to kick them in the ass. There was some drainage problems on a few holes too. I would recommend going accross the interstate and playing PGA of Southern California over this course, but if you get a cheap rate here, it's worth it.

Played both courses on 2/17/06. Frost delay? You gotta be kidding me. Waited an hour, but staff did a great job getting us all started and on pace. We flew through both rounds with no waiting. Course was beautiful and well-groomed. There are some houses and construction going around this course, however. Sporty golf carts but NO GPS! I can't believe a course of this caliber has no GPS. 10 degrees colder than Palm Springs, but well worth the 30 minute drive with the $5 replay special. Excellent clubhouse and driving range with complimentary balls. Great cart service on the course as well.

Drove an hour from Palm Springs to play this course while on golf vacation. Keep in mind, it's about 5-10 degrees colder here than the desert. Played 36 holes on 2/16/06. Course was in great shape, but the sand traps were in desperate need of more sand. Only 1/2 inch of sand between your club and clay. Several holes ranked among the most scenic and picturesque I have ever played. The par three 12? is absolutely phenominal. Pace was great in the morning, but watch out if you play in the afternoon. It gets stacked up big-time! Cheap-ass GPS on carts which was a little disappointing for a course of this caliber. I do, however, highly recommend this course. Bring your camera so you can take photos while you're waiting for your next shot.

If you wear a toupee, don't come here when it's windy. We played on February 15, 2006 and it was the windiest conditions I've ever played in. 50-60 mph gusts, no kidding. Employee told me that wind we endured was a once a month thing. However, the course was in great shape and was a great deal. There was a crusty old b*st%rd working behind the counter, but that didn't bother me. Everybody else there was incredibly friendly. Conditions were very good from tee to green and the course is challenging and very interesting. Great food and great cart service too. If you can get here when the wind's not blowing, by all means play here. It's one of the best deals in the desert. No houses on the course and you feel like you're all alone when you're out there. It is a top-notch facility. My advice is: if you're unloading your clubs and the wind is gusting, put them back in your car and drive away. If not, get ready for a cheap and enjoyable experience.

This course is absolutely incredible! Top notch all the way. Played it on February 14 for $85 twilight rate. Conditions were perfect. Fast greens, immaculate fairways, perfect tee boxes, best GPS out there and great service! Played at 7100 yards (used to playing blue tees), but added length wasn't that big of a deal. The scenery on the course is amazing. If you want a great challenge and love to be catered to, this is your course.

Golf pro just e-mailed me and said course will be open to the public January 9, 2006.
