Worth the cost

Greens were in great shape (maybe a little slow).
Fairways and traps were fine.
Speed of play was great till the last 4 holes, we were a twosome and joined up with the twosome in front of us on the 15th hole, waited a lot and could see there was a single, another single, theN a twosome in front of us all playing super slow! A player’s assistant could have helped a lot!
Don’t expect a beverage cart, isn’t one , so load up before heading out!
Overall a good course that could be great

Expected better conditions.

Played here July of last year. The conditions were better then than they are now. Bring tall tees to overcome tee box grass. Fairways are mowed down native weeds. Areas around greens little to no turf. Greens ok but very slow.
I know this course had gone through changes.
But to charge prime fees for sub prime conditions just not right.

First time playing in the wind.

Never played in wind like this, had to learn to keep the ball down, I did a nice job of it. Played the first 9 by myself and then teamed up with a husband and wife from Canada, had a very nice time. The fairways were in great shape as were the greens. Bunkers for the most part could use some sand but nowadays I find most courses have this problem. The course was very enjoyable, the bar restaurant was very nice and the drinks were affordable. Had a cheeseburger, very good.. One thing I was told before I went out, try and play early as the wind comes up in the afternoon, will remember that next time. Overall I enjoyed the course and will play it again the next time I come down here. I think other golfers would enjoy this course.

Need new greenskeeper.

Never seen greens in such poor condition! Might as well put the pins in the middle of the fairway. Contrary to their website the restaurant had no food at all. They should have paid us to golf there. Stay AWAY! Don't waste your money.

Could be better

Liked the course layout and carts, and staff were very good. The only problem was the greens. Poor grass coverage and painted surface. Too bad, otherwise we liked it here.

Good course

We had a very windy day to play. I understand that is pretty normal. Course was in good shape. Greens were speedy. Wind would blow ball a little if the pace was not firm. Greens were firm I assume because of the wind. Hopefully I will get chance to play when not so breezy.

Rates should be given to LOCAL if their license says Bullhead, Laughlin,Ft Mohave that should be considered, also GPS is very speratic. Remember locals are here when Snowbirds leave!

Great Desert Course

From the time we checked in until we finished the round, we found nothing wrong with the course. Very friendly when we checked in, allowed us to go a little early as it wasn't crowded. Course was in great shape and showed the effects of ongoing good maintenance.

Greens were excellent and rolled smoothly.
