Great walk and a cool design from C&C. Greens have some challenge, but most of the bite comes from tough tee shots (at least from back tees). Fun alternating stretches of short scoring holes followed by holes that protect par heavily.

RTJ II desert golf. Fun course, tough driving course some tight landing areas. As with most desert golf miss the fairway and rough and your ball is likely gone. Nice views interesting holes. 18th hole seems kinda out of place from rest of course…

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

The 10th hole and 18th hole the entire hole is filled with balls from the range. So you can imagine how that goes
