In my time, we would call Cresta Verde a goat track. From tee to green, you never know what you will get but it probably won't be good. The fairways were in horrible shape. There were more dirt patches then grass at times. Wasn't sure if I should wear my golf shoes or hiking boots. The only saving grace the the greens and the area around them. The greens were in perfect shape and the area around them was also in great shape. Speeds were medium fast and ball rolled true. The grounds crews are working on the tee boxes and that was a positive sign, but many were in extremely bad shape. My only suggestion, only play here if the price is right or you can't get a reservation anywhere else.

I have played Dos Lagos many times and each time I go back, I keep being amazed. The first thing, the staff is fantastic. Everyone is friendly and extremely helpful. Unlike most courses today, Dos Lagos keeps a starter at the first tee all day. That is very helpful in making sure groups go off at the right times. Secondly, the starter, checks your start time at the halfway point as well as when you finish your round. Pace of play is more than just a slogan to them.
The course is in fantastic shape for this late in the summer. The greens are the best I have ever seen and the fairways are tight, but in good shape. The tee boxes are a little dry in places, but still playable. If I have to have a complaint, it is will their traps. They have sand, but it can be very hard at times. That being said this course is in great shape and should not be missed. Excellent job to everyone who works at Dos Lagos.

We had made reservations for a morning tee time over a week ago, but this morning at 5:30 am we received an email telling us several holes on the course were closed or modified due to construction. Why wasn't this information provided to us at the time of the reservation, so we would have had time to change our plans if so desired. I realize they are working on the course conditions, but currently the course is basically unplayable. The only good part are the greens. they are in good shape. I only dealt with one employee, but he was friendly and extremely helpful. This was a great course in its time and the layout can't be beat. The only thing we can hope for is at sometime it will return to its past glory. For now I would recommend staying away, unless you just want to hit the ball around.

Even after the heavy rains the course received last night, it was in extremely good shape. The course was wet, but no visible puddles. The sandtraps were in great shape (both fairway and greenside). They must have recently replaced the sand. Tee boxes have not been cut down since over seeding, but were still in good shape. This is the best I have seen this course in the long time. You can tell the Kramers are putting some money into it. I will definitely be back soon.

Played on Nov. 2nd mid morning. Not a lot of people playing, but round still took over 5 hours. As always the front nine is a little gimmicky, but the back nine makes up for it. Due to overseeding, fairways have still not been cut, so extremely long grass. Remainder of course is in good shape except for tee boxes. Majority are not level and in bad shape. The girl in the pro shop was very nice and made me feel welcome. Overall the course is fun to play and once the fairways are cut down, I will be back.

Dos Lagos Golf Club Review

Played during the late afternoon for the twilight rate of $35. The course was wide open and completed play in 3 1/2 hours. The course was in fantastic shape. Could not find anything to complain about. The course is worth both the drive and money to play. One of my favorite courses. The entire staff treats you like one of the family. Being at Desert Willow makes you feel like a member of a private country club, if only only for a day.
