Figure this is as good a place as any to provide an update on the conditions.
I was out there yesterday and the course is in quite playable condition. As has been reported, the bunkers are the worst of it. There is no sand in any of them and a good number (especially the shallower ones in the fairways) are starting to be taken by grass in areas. The tees are the other area of the course in major need of help. Grass is sparse on the tees at best and erosion has started as well so any kind of flat or vaguely even lie is hard to find.
The best of it is the greens. They certainly have some areas with major damage, but for the most part they have grass and are growing in well. In fact, I thought they putted quite well, if a touch on the slow side. The fairways were somewhere in between. For the most part, they are playable, if scruffy. There are some areas where weeds dominate more than grass and due to excessive watering the areas around the greens are actually overly wet, even muddy. It's all for the greater good, ultimately, I'm sure, but for now the course around the greens doesn't play much as intended. Even the sports that doesn't have issues due to wetness have some issues with the way the growth is growing. There's no way to properly bounce/run a shot into the punchbowl 10th for example.
It's a tough situation they're in. I spent more in gas yesterday than I did on my green fee and there were not many people around. Hard to make the money that would be necessary to really turn things around in those circumstances.
That said, it's certainly playable and I would argue to issues with the bunkers are probably less of an issue than it would be at many (non-desert?) courses.
