Played here with my dad who's a local. He's played pretty much everywhere and he says that this is one of the best that he's played. I agree. We usually play Raven at Verrado and I love that course... but I think it's only better because it's in the middle of nowhere. No houses, no cars, no highways... nothing. With that said... it's in the opposite side of where my parents live so it's a pain in the arse to make my way out there. I feel like all dessert courses are similar so I probably won't make my way out there again especially since I have Raven. But regardless, all the accolades and attention this course is getting is legit. I'd give it 5 stars but I'm not a huge fan of dessert golf... I love trees and rough.
