Jim:
I just finished playing there last week. It is as both Ken and Joel allude to a marvelous, exclusively private and very worthy track.
I might disagree every so slightly with Joel by saying that water really only comes into play on maybe five holes and I've never met a stuffy member *(having played there multiple times with different people).
It is clearly the best conditioned course in the SoCal Desert area and the truly an interesting and good Fazio layout. The canyon holes 13-15 are really nice and feel nicely desolate. The finishing holes of 16-18 are excellent and well postioned to lend challenge to the finality of any match.
That said, there are several slight negatives. Multiple times the back tee boxes (especially on the mid-front and throughout the backside) are too close to the cart paths and thus prone to having other players(when out) break the otherwise abundant silence on the tee.
The pro shop personnel are not the warmest folks, but the caddies are among the best I've ever had from a playing perspective. They explicitly recruit near all low-to-scratch players for loopers and they hustle better than anywhere else. The other clubhouse people are terrific.
All-in-all, considerably superior to Vintage, Plantation(very stuffy*) and the other high-end exclusively private desert courses.
