Other Thoughts:
Most of the reviews posted prior to this one were done before the course was fully open and ready for play. The baskets now have numbers and there is a fairly accurate sign/ course map at the first tee pad. Just snap a pic of the sign with your cell phone before starting.
The comment about the distances being messed up. Totally blown out of proportion. The ONLY issue with distance was that they put the word "YARDS" instead of "FEET" on the course map/sign next to tee pad #1.
The #2 basket has been moved out of the wet spot in the turf to a drier place beyond it. Add 20 feet to the stated distance. After the course was designed and baskets were installed, ground water/natural spring water started surfacing in the grass right where the basket was.
Im not sure why someone would say they couldn't find their way around the course and then say it is poorly designed. It may seem like poor design if you have no idea where you're going. Now there is a map and #'s.
There was some input from LVDGC as far as I know. There may have been deviations but their basic overall course plan was used. They suggested round tee pads. They city obliged but went way too small.
There are some trees and shrubs that were cut back in June '16 that make the course more playable and fun. Lines of sight are now there from tee pad to basket (which is important when each hole doesn't have its own map) on all holes but #6.
This is not the best course out there. I do feel that it deserves a better rating than it has at this point on this site. Go play it and see for yourself. It is not a waste of time.
