Hubby competed in national competition & love the course. Large pro shop with good selection but didn’t find the people visiting or the staff very friendly.

We were visiting from the NE during summer.
Only the Celebrity Course was open, the Professional was closed for rehab.
The course is not cheap but it is challenging and gorgeous.
The course is immaculately maintained.
The only issue was the 105deg heat, but that's not the resorts

The celebrity course was amazing. Greens were hard and fast, sometimes tricky but challenging. Hole 14 was my favorite with great views and reachable in 2. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again
