The course is in pretty bad shape due to the ongoing severe water shortage here in south Texas…read more There are many patches throughout the entire course where the grass has died and are now just bare dirt. It's been several years since I've golfed here so the changes were quite noticeable. The areas I refer to as moguls, surrounding the fairways, are now matted down dormant/dead grass, which will soon be nothing but dirt if they don't do something to resolve the problem. Most of the once abundant sand traps are no longer tended to and becoming grass filled , changing how the course plays considerably. Overall the course looks a mess compared to what it once was. Even the power carts were unwashed and poorly kept. We had problems with ours powering off, even while on the cart path between holes four times and had to turn it Off and On, reversing directions in order to proceed to the next tee. Evidently the GPS system is out of calibration and thought we were entering a protected waste area of sorts and shut down. I informed a worker in the cart return area upon the completion of our round, but he seemed disinterested and I doubt anything was done to correct the problem. Also notable was how many new homes have been built around the course, some with small swimming/plunge pools. Seems there is enough water to build new homes and supply households with water but not maintain what once was a great course. That type of shortsighted planning seems pretty common down here in the Valley. I doubt we will be back to play anytime soon as there are much nicer tracks down here that are better maintained. That's a shame.

The Golf Course is nice, fun, well maintained. It would be nice if dress code was enforced, and the five-somes, and six-somes were gone, but oh well. My problem is with the Board and how it is run. The club has what I call a (small click) of people who matter and who have control of how it is run. Times change, and Board Members need to updated. As they say out with Old and in with the New. They have an incentive for members to Refer someone, which is nice. But when a member refers monthly large business to club, that to them is meaningless. My husband and I spoke with Estelle C. this morning and she did state that Shea B. was in charge of that and there was NOTHING, for members who refer monthly large business. I have never seen a club or business run in such an inept manner. No wonder they have had so many issues here. Diana M-B

The reason I am giving this golf course a 1-star rating is due to my experience on two separate…read moreoccasions over the past four years. Both times, I arrived with high expectations of playing a quality course. However, it wasn't until after paying the full greens fees and beginning my round that I discovered significant portions of the course were under repair. During my first visit, nearly all of the greens were being renovated, and temporary greens had been set up in the middle of the fairways. On my second visit, I again found several greens under repair, with some holes still utilizing temporary greens. I understand that course maintenance and renovations are sometimes necessary, and I would have had no issue with that had I been informed beforehand. The problem is that there was no disclosure prior to payment, no notification at check-in, and no signage indicating the extent of the repairs. As a customer, I feel this is information that should be communicated upfront so golfers can make an informed decision before paying full price. Unfortunately, after experiencing the same lack of transparency on two separate visits, I cannot recommend this course.

The swimming pool has long been concreted over. The clubhouse concession stand has been reduced to a single commercial refrigerator for which you pull out your refreshment and pay at the golf counter. The golf course has stopped maintaining all the fairway bunkers and now they are just grass-filled indentations. This makes it hard to figure out shot directions as there are no visual cues. The green side bunkers are just raked dirt. The fairways suffer from many bare spots and the greens have many thin areas. On the up side the course does have a driving range with decent range balls.
