I played with three friends at this wonderful golf club on a sunny Saturday between two wicked California storms the day before the super bowl during our annual holiday weekend trip. The setting is rolling hills among vineyards, creeks and other pleasant natural habitats. The course, as expected, was a bit soggy and was cart-path-only. I walked and found it was very walkable from the blue tees. Pace of play was four hours, with no push or wait.

I’ve played here twice in the past and found this winter round to be just as fun and challenging as the warm weather rounds played here. There are no repetitive holes or tee shots on this course, and as a person with limited time for the game, I find this very important in the assessment of all golf courses. The fairways, tee boxes and sand traps are all in good to very good condition. Standing water in only a few traps, and lift clean and cheat was necessary on only a couple of instances. The greens were a 10. Maybe due to the reduced amount of play because of the ridiculous rain we have been getting in CA, but still, minimal ball marks, true roll, great speed. A little local knowledge will go a long way here.

The clubhouse and bar & grill experience was top notch, parking easy, practice areas large and accessible. If you are in the Central CA 101 corridor this is a must play. Only negative – the directional signage on the 17th tee box. I couldn’t figure it out, hit a Drumpf-crazy tee ball well left of the proper routing of the hole and threw up on my shoes to kind of wreck my card. Aim more right….

My date of play was 1/22/17. If you ever need a little ego boost to your game, this is definitely place to come play.

Condition here is immaculate so you will always great consistent lie and there are hardly any trouble so you can spray all over and still shoot a decent score. Only defense this course has is their green speed as their greens and fairways are mostly flat.

Great place to come play for that first round to shake off the Winter rust for us Northerners. Staff is always extra friendly so don’t let them talk your ear off. Layout is somewhat boring since its repeat of same shot over and over again but if you’re dialed in with one of your club, you may have your record breaking round here.

Price is reasonable and pace of play is great since tee shots are playable from 99% of the golf course. If you enjoy a nicely manicured golf course that is easy to play, this is great place for it. It would make a nice place to learn how to play golf.

Played a few weeks ago, this is a newer layout located on the Pascua Yaqui reservation west of Tucson. The course was designed by Notah Begay, not sure if he has done other courses. As such, there is no development around the course and it is set in treeless desert terrain.

The course is really not walkable, it is spread out in quite a few areas due to the terrain. Conditions were impeccable and it doesn’t appear the course gets a lot of play. It was a very good value, the fee included range balls, bottled water, GPS in carts.

The practice areas are excellent as well. One thing to keep in mind playing for the first time is that there is a fair amount of water that is not visible/obvious from some tees and approach shots. The GPS has a flyover feature that you should consult on holes that do have water. There is a lot of bunkering around the green complexes; framing tee shots. Bunkers were excellent.

Very enjoyable round, pace of play good, conditions excellent, service excellent, try this one out.

Wow, I can’t believe no one else has reviewed this beautiful course. I was lucky enough to play here on 1/24/17 morning. Course has changed name and now its called Deer Island golf club.

First off, this course is pretty far from Orlando and there is only one way in and out. It took us about 1 hour to get here but from local friend’s recommendation, we had to come check it out for ourselves. This course is a true gem. If they had the private club money to maintain this place, it would easily be ranked in top 100 in US.

Difficulty of this course is brutal on windy days. There are water hazards in play on almost every hole and any miscue can end up with lost golf ball. My local friend who is normally low 90’s shooter lost 14 to 15 golf balls at this course on a windy day. Lay out is beautiful and price to play here is less than $50 for prime time. Course condition could use some improvement but its definitely playable and as long as you’re not looking for country club condition, you will not be disappointed. Tee box, fairways, and greens are little shaggy.

One thing I do want to put extra attention is their bunkers. Ones with abundant sand (some bunkers were rock hard with no sand) are very very very fluffy. Sand is more like a fluffy lava ash and your club goes through it with no resistance of any kind. I am a decent bunker player but could not get my ball out when the shot was longer than 10 feet from the hole. I recommend any player who enjoy challenging golf course to come and try this place as I will certainly try to go back and play it again.

I also played in the GK Guru event with JohnnyGK, SR129 and Leef2020 and had a great time. Turned out to be rather warm and beautiful day so all conditions were perfect. Also had a nice conversation after our round with Leef2020 as he taught me a lot on club making. Learned a lot.

Got there a bit late and wanted to get to the range and Landon, our host gave me keys to the cart, directions to the range and a complimentary small bucket. Very nice of him to do so. Beautiful setting and really nice club house and restaurant.

I found this course pretty challenging. A good mixture of long and short par 4’s. I found the par 3’s really challenging. Elevation changes and/or hitting over water made you really concentrate on trying to hit a good shot. The pin placement on #7 was incredibly difficult adding to fact that there is a bunker smack in the middle of the green. Fairways were nice. Some tight/thin lies but overall good. Bunkers were real soft and fluffy which is great to see considering most courses have very hard sand or even hard pan. Greens were pretty soft but rolled real nice. Good iron shots held very well. Not sure if that’s always the case here as I bet they will make ‘em pretty fast once the rain stops. Some greens were tough to read with some of the undulations.

All in all a very enjoyable day. Pace of Play was about 4.5 hours. Great for what used to be a private course at one time. Hope to get out here again one day.

Played in the GK Guru event today at GC of Ca. with Jerry64, Zgolfman and DConnally at 11:30. Grass range had good coverage with nice fluffy grass. The landscaping around the clubhouse was as good as I’ve seen it, giving a very nice first impression. Pro shop was friendly and efficient, had me quickly out to the driving range. Practice bunker was still a little muddy and not as nice as those on the course. Practice green was medium pace and similar to course conditions. Tees were lush and level. Fairways had good coverage of tightly mowed mostly Bermuda with many well-repaired divots in the approach areas. Sand was good and hats off to the ground crew for getting them in such nice shape. The greens were in good shape, held shots well, but it was a nice sunny day and the Poa was in full flower by 2:00. They were medium speed and a little spongy by the time we finished. Rough was uneven and a bit thin. They have a really nice bar and a couple craft beers but could use a couple more locals, but got to keep the regulars happy. I do enjoy this course. It has a nice variety of holes that present different challenges than the usual courses I play. The par 5s all play a little differently and even the easy par 4s can give you a number. Had a great time with our group. Couldn’t seem to keep out of Bob’s putting line, but I noticed he stopped making putts after I stopped tramping through his line.

Teed off just before Noon in a Greenskeeper outing. First time playing here in over a year. Forgot how challenging this course is, make sure you play the proper tees for your skill level.

Friendly and helpful service in the Pro shop and with the starter.

The course survived the recent rain storms without any major damage that I could see.

Greens: a little bumpy but to be expect at the end of the day. Speed was medium. Greens were holding.

Fairways: very good for the winter season, great to see green fairways and a majority of divots filled. Not a lot of wet spots on the fairways.

Traps: plenty of sand but some traps not raked by thoughtless golfers.

Rough: some bare spots but not a major problem.

Great practice area!

This course is a must play especially if you can get a special rate!

Played 1-29-17 early morning walking as a threesome in a little over 3 hours for $53.

This course is like playing two different courses, front 9 is a tight tree lined course and the back is wide open in the dunes by the ocean.

Tee boxes were mostly in good shape and semi lush. Fairways were very lush with not much roll mostly because of the recent rains. Rough was thick and wet on the front and low and dry on the back. Greens were in good shape on both sides rolling medium speed and semi smooth.

Fun short course with some great views especially on the back.

Played on Pro Bowl Sunday around 2:40 pm for $39 plus tax (best deal for tee times is through their course website/booking service, call in and refer to the price online). Got paired up on a rather humming Sunday…didn’t have to necessarily wait on every hole but didn’t whiz through the course either. Cart girl saw my group about 2 times per nine so she was definitely customer service orientated.

The courses we played we White to Gold. Probably my favorite nine on this course is the white because of the great design and set up on the holes. This course is just so unique and as you can tell by how many reviews I’ve done on Ocotillo, I always come back.

The course conditions were consistent throughout the course. Because of the rain, some of the bunkers weren’t healthy or fully drained and played as course under repair. But the course played soft and true, greens looked healthy after a rough summer/fall (rough meaning a lot of work done to greens and soaking the overseed in October). The tee boxes and fairways were near identical, couldn’t find a bad lie. The rough was penile at times but with the generous fairways here, scoring isn’t too tough like others in the valley.

Worth the tee fee.

1/31 $25 birthday round on an ideal sc winter day–worked in early by starter for 4 hr POP with some waiting but with the setting and the weather we didnt care–was able to take some extra putts and chips as the 4some following was no where to be seen.

Setting is great–holes are separated–some seem to be 1/4 mile apart as you wind thru the canyons and hills. Generally ample landing areas with at least one fairway side offering some safety– but some forced carries. Fairway conditions quite good with very few wet areas–overall tightly mowed but with good cushion and acceptable roll out. Closely mowed approaches to green which looked to be great for chips but required a precise strike as any shot hit even a little fat would really grab the club or on flops would give too much bounce in to the ball. Rough some what thin and short along most fairways–a little longer and thicker near the greens.

Tees level with good cover. Bunkers well maintained with consistently good quality sand.

The greens are large with quadrants that accentuate the contours providing the opportunity for a range of pin placements that could increase the degree of difficulty by a factor of 10. Speed was a little below medium fast–putts rolled fairly smoothly–but there were many un-repaired or poorly repaired ball marks.

Friendly helpful golfer oriented staff. This is a higher end course that is probably worth the 50-75 $ deals that can be found–but is an absolute must for your birthday play–thanks Crossings and GK for the posting.
