Played here Sun April 6, 10:30 tee time. 5:30 round. Finally made it out here as it's been on my list forever. My opinion on this is an interesting exercise. It's a beautiful scenic course.. the way it runs through the canyons and the POV of seeing other holes as patches of green littered through the brown mountains.. it's cool. It's in pretty good shape. Greens are moderately fast... like fast 11. the holes in it of itself are interesting holes... the knock on this course is it's gimmicky. And I'd agree with that. the holes are interesting, but too many circus type shots. I say it's a fun course to play, but it's not a great course. It was a sunny warm day with a 1-2 club wind all day. Course knowledge important. Very hilly, seems like most of the tee shots were 50-100 ft downhill. which again, is fun, but makes for a gimmicky course. They don't put rakes in the bunkers and they tell you to lift clean place your ball in the bunkers. And when the preround spiel is how slow the round is going to be... well... he wasn't wrong. I appreciate the heads up though. I wouldn't mind playing this a few times.. but not for the rack rate. Driving range is irons only. I don't think there was a drink cart going around... so hilly. Had fun.
