For years this course was the premiere course in the High Desert, with a remarkable history. A decade or so ago the city recreation department took control and there has been a downhill slide ever since. Dozen upon dozens of ground squirrel holes are scattered throughout the course. Sand bunkers are often hard and full of weeds. In many areas the grass has died or is dying, the fairway haven't been punched for years. There are numerous dead or dying trees trees, trimmings and debris is piled up in many areas just off the fairways, the fairways and greens are not mowed consistently or expertly. What this course badly needs is a course management team that knows how to maintain a course, not just treat it like a city park. It's Sad to think that the city seems to be intentionally letting the course go.
