Played 1/26 with USCDodger and a couple friends. We teed off at 12 and finished about 4:30.

Overall the conditions were fantastic.

It’s hard to find a spot where I complain about anything in particular. The tee boxes were level and lush throughout the round, the fairways were on the softer side than I expected and were excellent to play from. The rough was consistent and wasn’t overly penal when you landed in it. Was still easy enough to advance the ball with your club of choice. The bunkers had very nice sand to hit from and was really surprised at this because of the windy conditions of the course. Nice bunkers and high wind don’t usually go together. The greens were harder than I expected given the fairways. Even on fully struck wedges it could be hard to get the ball to stop quickly.

The wind was howling all day around 15-25 mph. With 3/4 par 5’s and many of the par 4’s into the wind it made for a lot of long irons and hybrid into greens.

Even with the heavy wind it was a really enjoyable and fun round. The scenery and desert-scape is top notch and the lack of houses and civilization make the day and whole experience even better. This course is often written off as the lesser of the three on property but was still a well thought out design with plenty of decision making and intrigue throughout the round.
