Wow, this is such a long course, just a shade over 7,000 yards from the white tees!

Really surprised at the length of this course since this is in a Del Web 55+ community. They do have green tees which are closer but almost near the red ladies tees.

I played on a Monday and it had rained on Sat & Sun so the course was still a bit soggy. Because of this I almost had the course to myself. There were just a few other golfers who started on the front and they started me on the back so I have no one in front or behind me.

Overall the course is in great condition, the fairways, greens and tee boxes are in good shape. It seems there are always those few who refuse to repair their divot marks on the greens. It’s such a shame since it ruins the putt line of all who follow.

It was cart path only because of the rain and it’s such a long course so it made my round almost a 4 1/2 hour extravaganza.

The staff is great, the gas carts run well and are in great shape. They let you take the carts into the parking lot to get your clubs.
They have several bathrooms scattered throughout the course.

It winds through the large neighborhood and would be extremely difficult to walk.

It’s scenically beautiful and I saw several deer, rabbits, red tail hawks and squirrels as I motored along the cart path.

There are a few holes that are severe doglegs which create a blind shot.
There is some water and quite a few fairway bunkers and green side bunkers. There is a lot of elevation change so you get some great vistas but the challenge that goes with it.
