Spent the last day of my trip in the Bullhead City area. Started at Chaparral. I called ahead and they let me know there's a member group that was going out at 9:00 and anything before that (open at 7:00) should be pretty open. Arrived around 7:20 and got out right away. Member group actually went out at 8:00 and they did kind of a spread-out shotgun, but nobody in my way by the time I finished with a 40-minute pace. Price was $31 with cart for 9 holes. They also have GolfBoards for rent here now, if you are interested in that.

The course conditions were pretty mediocre as the course heads into the slow summer season. Tee boxes fairly beat up and firm underneath, but flat enough to tee it up. Fairways firm with pretty thin/dry grass coverage. Rough areas mostly just dirt and hardpan. Bunkers compacted and damp in the morning, but not terrible. The greens varied in speed and shagginess, with the holes across the street having nicer surfaces overall than the ones on the side where the clubhouse is. Medium-slow and pretty bumpy at times.

I didn't expect too much from this course and it pretty much delivered on that low expectation. Pretty simple layout with a par-30 routing. One of the par-4s is 320 yards while the others are in the 240 range. Par-3s have a wider range of distances and there are different tee boxes for front/back nine play. The 9th/18th actually has two different greens to play to, as well. Overall, pretty basic locals' course for the predominantly senior residents of the area.
