Have conflicted feelings about reviewing this course. My uncle's home is on this course so I have basically grown up with this course. As well you really have to factor in the price in regards to a course. Played here 6:00 Sat Morning. Woke up early before everyone and decided to sneak in a quick round. This course is a member of OB sports so I was able to use my traveling discount and play for $25 with a cart prime time Saturday morning. Staff couldn't have been friendlier. The girl in the clubhouse let me jump the four somes in front of me and play right away since I said I was a single and ready to go. The starter was very accommodating as well. Aside from the $25 and the friendly staff the course is quite boring. It is basically straight away holes with small trees lining the fairways. The fairways aren't in bad shape when you are on grass but that is few and far between. Massive dead spots and rivers of dirt throughout the course. No rough. The greens are mostly elevated and the course' main defence are the small scattered trees, narrow fairways, and tiny dime sized greens. Positives: Tee boxes are watered heavily and lush. The greens are fine, roll well. Firm but to be expected in Laughlin / Ft Mojave. Grass surrounding the greens is well maintained. Fast POP (I finished in under 2 hours burning through as a solo). 18th is a nice hole. Negatives: The bunkers are inexcusably bad. Seriously pay, someone to go and rake the gravel out of the bunkers. They are tiny thin, hard packed, and are a neglected. They have no lips and most balls roll out most of the time. The greens need to be bigger and have some undulation. The course could be scenic with great mountain backdrops but beyond many of the par 3's are dumpsters or other eyesores that kill the raw beauty. The challenge with this review is I can't really blame the course. It is a locals course. In fort mojave the economics are tough. It's a small town in the desert. It wouldn't make sense or be economical to spend the money to make the course nice as no one would play it because it would be too expensive. $25 for a full round of 18 on a weekend is a fair deal. For what it charges its a solid value and fun time. But I wouldn't plan a 4 some and spend 4.5 here knocking it around on hard pan or make the drive from Laughlin.
