had a chance to play Sierra Lakes on 12/11. Been looking to play this course for awhile now. It's a bit of trip but with how hard it is to get tee times these days, I'm willing to go anywhere to play.

I'm not a fan of courses that wind through homes, especially those courses with homes on both sides.

The homes had no effect on play at all. Course had big wide fairways and plenty of rough so the houses were never in play, although, we had one buddy put one in a house. it was an extraordinary effort. lol

Loved the layout of the course, greens were excellent. Fairways were very nice, though in winter condition. Not much rough to speak of. Sand Traps were covid sand traps so not going to say anything.

Overall, had an excellent times out at Sierra Lakes. Looking forward to our next round there.

Finished our 50th golf trip to Mesquite by playing Falcon Ridge on 11/18.

Of the 4 courses we played, this would have to be my least favorite course. I'm not a fan of blind tee shots and this had many. To go along with the blind shots, we had wind gusts of 40mph so things got a little crazy and frustrating.

The course's condition was nice. Greens rolled true and had some speed to them. Tee boxes for the most part were in good shape, rough was good.

I just couldn't get over the tricked up layout. It had some very nice holes but when I think of Falcon Ridge it's the tricked up holes that come to mind first.

Played Coyote Springs on a 50th birthday golf trip. Played on 11/17

During our golf outing, we played 4 courses (Primm, Wolf Creek, Coyote Springs and Falcon Ridge)

Hands down, our favorite golf course was Coyote Springs, it was agreed upon by all four of us.

This course was absolutely beautiful, from tee to green, just about perfect in so many ways. Depending on which tees you play, you are going to get a very good challenge. I loved how the ball sat up on the fairway like you were teeing it up.

BTW, this has one of the best practice facilities I've ever seen, just short of Orange County National in Orlando, but not by much. Because it's in the middle of nowhere (and I'm not kidding), they could build their practice facility as big as they wanted and they tried. lol

Played Wolf Creek on 11/16 on a 50th birthday golf trip. Played it once before and it makes my top 3 golf courses I've played so the expectations were very high.

The layout was nothing less than outstanding, the greens just about perfect. The whole experience was incredible. Not only is the course awesome but the staff do such a great job at making you maximize your experience.

If I did have one complaint and it could be just this time of year, is that the fairways were awfully thin. Last time I played there, I recall how nice the ball would sit on the fairways, almost as if they were teed up. Not this time but I'll give them a pass this time.

Played La Mirada on 12/6 with low expectations based on what I've read on Greenskeeper. Even with low expectations, we were completely disappointed in the conditions of the course. I've always enjoyed the layout but the course today was on par with Victoria Golf Course in Carson. And I'll take Victoria's layout over La Mirada's.

There were so many dead spots in the fairways, we agreed to pick up your ball and move to grass. The rough was non existent and in some cases, if you hit it and miss the green, your ball would roll and roll because of the lack of rough.

The only saving grace i guess would be the greens were solid. Not great but compared to the other areas of the course, it was the lone bright spot.

The customer service during check in was great as well.
