I'm supposedly going to the desert, so I'm out, but do yourself a favor: Stop by the local Rite Aid and buy yourself a big huge bottle of No Doze. You'll need it by the 12th hole.

Kidding aside, it is probably the best Fazio routing of all time. I really think it took great advantage of a flat, featureless site but missed out on using the rail line as a really cool hazard. The cost of  building the bridge over that line cost a pretty penny I'm told. All total the course cost 17 Million on land they owned, but they got the most out of the landscaping. I'm sure it costs a small fortune to maintain. blocking out all of the outside world with a huge berm of containment around most of it's parimeter.

Unfortunately repetition on many holes, as well as repetitive green-sites spells it doom early. Great clubhouse and practice facility though. Have a great time.

PS: Weather looks to be typical (yawn) SoCal this weekend, more on the high 80's side.

Peter,
This is a GOLF ARCHITECTURE WEBSITE where golf architecture is and opinions are openly discussed. When it becomes a site where an opinion on golf architecture is not welcomed, well then, something is then simply wrong and needs to be changed.  

Pat's invite was indeed nice. And if it isn't obvious that my little $.10 review was supposed to be in a somewhat fun and joking manner, well then it's your problem, not mine.

Pat is a great guy to play with for those who are interested.
