Description: Built in 1991, Architect: Arthur Hills, Course record: 64. This links-style course features rolling fairways, deep arroyos, but no trees. Water only comes into play on one or two holes. It is moderately to heavily bunkered and the arroyo makes it's presense known on several holes.. The greens are above average size and fairly contoured. The rough is pretty much unplayable in most areas with hardpan the most forgiving playing surface (deep holes are everywhere WATCH WHERE YOU STEP!). Bring plenty of golf balls and insect repellent. Make sure that you avail yourself of the snackbar and drink cart - stay hydrated. Rated #10 in Golf Digest's America's Top 75 afforable courses (less than $50).

USGA Rules govern all play except where local rules prevail. Out of bounds is defined by wire boundary fence. Red stakes define lateral hazards. All cart riders must observe 90 degree cart rule. Yardage marked on cart paths and sprinkler heads are measured to the center of the green. Repair ball marks on greens, rake bunkers, and replace divots.

Etiquette: Slow play will not be tolerated and will be stictly marshaled at all times. If your group cannot keep up with the group in front of you. Either pick-up, speed-up, or come-in. Pace of play is determined by keeping pase with the group in front of you. Each nine should be played in 2 hours and 10 minutes or less. Way to speed up play are: Continuous putting, hit when ready, one practice swing only, no honors on teebox.

No restrictions on public play. Carts are not required but must follow the 90-degree rule when used. Walking is allowed and pull carts are available (note: this is an easy walking course but in the summer, take a cart). Collered shirts, golf shoes or tennis shoes required; no short shorts or cutoffs. NO METAL SPIKES ARE ALLOWED (Ceramic and plastic spikes are available in the pro shop). No coolers or external food and beverage are allowed on the course.

Signature Hole: #4 - 544 yard, par 5. A sweeping dogleg left with an arroyo along the entire left side (ala Pebble Beach). A bunker guards the right front of the green. Another bunker set 30 yards from the green on the right makes judgment about distance to the green difficult. Any wind at all will affect play.
