I golf alittle less than once weekly...This course rated in Golf Digest 100 best public courses in US (51st) this year. PGA like carpet fairways and the sand traps imported from the Mohave desert. Not alot of tall rough, but unforgiving sand if mis-hit and plenty of it. Most beautiful and challenging course I have played in my life of 20+ years golfing. Sweet experience....A definite "worth the drive"...we traveled 1.5 hours to play this and were not disappointed.
