Excellent parkland golf in the desert. Small greens, narrow targets, and plenty of friendly people to meet when you drive it into another fairway. Easy to walk with a great clubhouse and staff. The layout isn’t exactly “exciting”, but not one bad hole, great golf course.

Great value for the valley. First par 3 on the back is super unique. Good use of the land.

Fantastically conditioned, very nice desert course. Interesting quick greens room off the tee. Fantastic service but it’s a little spendy. Round of 3 drinks (doubles) was $114. Definitely worth playing if you get an opportunity
