Thanks for all the suggestions....I ended up playing here for $38.50...included 18 holes, cart with gps and range balls...it only got to 100 degrees...unbelievable!

That's fantastic ... which course is that?  Also, what time did you get out and how busy was it?

Somebody previously mentioned the pictures you posted from the course were probably taken during a different season, so I'm wondering how the course actually looks right now?  Pretty good conditions, green or brown, soft or dried out?

I am an hour drive away, basically, and looking at the prices of a lot of those courses on golfnow is very tempting.  I could keep an eye out for upcoming "cold" (ha!) spells, grab an early tee time, play 18, and be back in time for a late lunch.

Very tempting.

Yes, I'm sure the photos I've posted are professionally taken during peak conditions. This time of year you won't find a course down there in A+ condition but even there B- condition is beautiful. The greens are a little hard, the fairways may have some burnt spots but nothing to bad. Silverrock and Desert Dunes were a  B+ on my scale right now while Escena was probably a C+

    • Wordle 1,830 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 what can I say? I’m embarrassed it took me five.
    • that is an excellent approach. I did that with my last set. I made a few 7 irons from different heads and shafts. Getting a feel for how they play on the course is the right idea. Let us know how it goes.
    • I’m glad the USGA booted some of the hecklers. It’s getting out of hand. I wish the networks wouldn’t mic the crowd to give those idiots a platform.
    • New member here, and I have decided to upgrade my clubs. I have been playing for a long time but these last 10 years I have had to put four kids through college. So I've played a few rounds a year and some years have not played at all. I am currently playing Titleist 716 AP2's with Rifle 6.5 steel shafts and Winn grips. I used to hit my 7 iron around 165 yds until just 5 years ago. I turned 62 this year and noticed I can barely get my 7 iron to 145 yds. I went for a fitting to try out some new player distance irons. I don't think I need game improvement irons because I'm pretty straight and rarely try to work a ball (if I'm working a ball, then I most definetely did something wrong to get there). I tried a bunch of irons (Callaway, Mizuno, PXG, Taylormade, Srixon, Ping, and Titleist) and I kept coming back to the Ping and Titleist. They just felt right and really looked good when lining up a shot. The Ping, by far, went the longest of all the irons. The Titleist was a close second in distance. Both felt buttery smooth through impact. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these irons. I was getting 160 yds with a nice smooth swing (81 mph swing speed). I know I'm asking a lot of my clubs but my last fitting was 27 years ago and I ended up with some Cleveland TA3's or TA2's forged irons with Dynamic Gold S300 (swing speed 87 mph). I really love the feel of my AP2's and the place I'm going to purchase from is going to make a 7 iron in both Ping and Titleist for me to test on real grass. I'm pretty certain it's going to be either one. They're both identical in price for a set of 5-PW. I'm going to forego a 4 iron and get another 4 hybrid to go along with my 3 hybrid. Any and all replies are welcome.
    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.
