Played on 09/23/20 Course is in great shape for the end of summer. I saw a post from Apreggi about a recommendation out in the Palm Springs area. I saw Johnny had recommended Indian Wells and noticed I had not played there in two years. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are all lush except they all need a haircut. The grass is just a little long everywhere. The bunkers had plenty of sand in them and the sand was soft and not hard packed. I played the white tees at 6000 yards which is perfect for me now, but I did notice almost all the white and yellow markers were together, so I might have played several yellow tees. They have water/ice stations throughout the course and saw the beverage cart gal several times.
Covid 19 precautions are in effect. Cart attendants do not handle your bag and there is a plastic divider in every cart. They do have sand bottles in them. There was a food truck outside serving food but I did not use. The carts have GPS in them and I did notice they have speakers in them.

Played in GK Outing on 09/13 A big shout out to the staff at Desert Willow. A large accident on the 60 fwy. coming in delayed some players arrival time but the staff was very accommodating to the situation. Due to the massive heat wave last week I thought the course was in great shape. Tee boxes were very good. The fairways were great, with the ball sitting up. Not much rough to speak of. The greens were firm. they seemed to putt slower as the day went on, but that might be me battling the heat. Was in two sand traps with the sand being very good.
One of the highlights at Desert willow is the practice facility.All grass driving range, chipping area and large putting green Covid 19 precautions are in place.
Thanks to Johnny for setting this up and to Golf Moose and Linksoul for the great raffle prizes

Played 07/23 and 07/25 on my annual fishing/golf trip with my buddies. Course is in good shape. Tee boxes are ok with some being not level. Fairways are nice and lush and the rough is pretty thick. Sand traps are dried out and hard. Snack bar and restaurant are open with outside seating only. They do have a fleet of new carts with coolers on them. Course can play long in the afternoon when the wind usually picks up

Played Thurs. 07/02 The course is in very good shape. The fairways are lush with very little divot damage. Sand traps excellent. The greens had been sanded a couple of days earlier. Some showed no signs of sand and some had visible signs of sand on them. They are in excellent shape. The only drawback were the tee boxes. I believe they are in the process of redoing them all. Some had brand new sod, some had been punched, some were dried out. There are some that had the sod completely removed. They were closed. Course was crowded but still finished in 4 and half hours. Customer service was excellent

Played Wed.07/01 Had initially planned on playing The Golf Club at Dove Mountain, but received a message from Nicksquire that Ventana Canyon would be a better choice. The course is in great shape. Tee boxes are very good . Fairways are semi generous in size and in excellent shape. The rough is still dormant and not penal at all. The sand traps had plenty of sand. The highlight are the greens. They are in the top 5 of all the golf courses i have ever played.

Played Tuesday 06/30 Course is in very good shape. Tee boxes are very lush with only a little divot damage on the par threes. Fairways are near excellent. The only drawback is no divot mix on the carts and the divots are more visible now. There is no rough to speak of. Sand traps are full of sand with a few starting to get a little crusty. There are no rakes anywhere. Greens are near perfect. I don’t what kind of grass they have, but they have not gone into the “summer transition” Saw the cart girl several times. There is drinking water around the course. Customer service is excellent.kj

Played Mon. 06/29. Course is in very good condition. Tee boxes are excellent. Very little divot damage. Fairways are in good condition with some areas starting to dry out. Very little rough to speak of. There is no divot mix in the carts. Sand traps have good amount of sand in them, but they are starting to get a little crusty. No rakes in any of them. Greens are in their “summer transition “ Very hard with no divot damage and they putted smooth. Saw the cart girl several times. Customer service is excellent. The carts have ice coolers on them and they give you a couple bottles of water. There are water stations on the course also. My only negative is the tee markers. They all look the same color to me.

Played Sun. 06/14 The course is in very good condition. Tee boxes were lush with very little divot damage on the par three holes. The fairways were excellent. There is no rough to speak of. It is still dormant and they are starting to aerate it. The greens are very hard with no divot damage and they are in their summer transition. There are no water stations on the course and they took the coolers off the carts. I never saw the beverage cart on the course. The pro shop is completely empty. My only disappointment is their lack of social distancing. The starter walked right up to me with no mask on and so did the cart attendants after the round.

Played Friday 06/28 on my way back to So Cal. Played the white tees at 6000 yards, but it seemed like it played much longer with no roll on the fairways. I never noticed but there are six par threes and five par fives.
Tee boxes are great and so are the greens.
The fairways had so much water on them and there was so much mud on my ball after my tee shots, I played lift clean and replace. Off the fairways and areas near the green were the complete opposite. There were many dried out areas.
Course is a favorite of mine and usually in great shape, but not this time.

Played 06/26. Course is in very good shape. Tee boxes are in great shape. Fairways are lush with very little dry areas. Rough is very short. Greens are very good to excellent. Some of them have started to transition to the summer grass.
Customer service is excellent.
My only drawback is that I played the Palo/Terra combo and I could not figure out what tee box to play because I am color blind and could not distinguish the difference in colors on the scorecard.

Played 06/26. Course is in very good condition. Tee boxes very good shape. Fairways are semi lush for summer conditions. Greens rolled true. There is still signs of verticut but they did not have any effect of putts. Plenty of sand in the bunkers. Rough was up a little but still easy to hit out of. Customer service is very good and saw the cart girl several times

Part two of my review of the Boulders. This review is for the front nine of the south.
Very different fairway conditions. The grass in the fairway was a light green and the rough dark green. The fairways were not as nice as the north. They are starting to thin out. Still good but not as lush as the north. The greens are good. Soft and semi slow. I wasn’t in any bunkers but they looked ok. Tee boxes are good. I find that this nine is quite a bit more difficult than the north. Very challenging.
Customer service was great. Staff very friendly
