| Pueblo del Sol Golf & Country Club -- Greens Can Be Fast Without Being Like Concrete |
| Review by: Gary Bailey |
Take this course to Scotland where it belongs. Whomever is the greenskeeper here needs a bit of elementary training in the concept of WATER. Greens can be fast without being unreceptive to a golfball. It is rediculous when a topped 4-iron produces a better result than a high, spinning wedge. It is a well-designed course, but you just can't hide the pins behind bunkers when the golfer has no chance of holding the green. It is just plain goofy golf. To watch fairly accomplished players putt from 20 yards off the green is just too bad. |

| Review by: Craig |
Played this course as part of a company outing on Saturday. The fairways were covered in dead grass, but the course was to be closed on Monday for a month of overseeding, so I will cut some slack on that. The greens were in good shape, however, albeit a little fast. The front nine is resort style. My only complaint was the fact that it winds through a housing development and sometimes the journey to the next tee box was a little long. The back nine is desert style and very scenic. None of the holes are exceptionally difficult, but none of them are easy, either. Many of the holes have doglegs and the straight ones have well-placed bunkers or difficult pin placements. There is a driving range and practice green, but while they are adequate, the layout says "resort focus" not "golf focus".
Overall, this is a good course, that would be even better once winter grass is in. It is not a bargain (it *is* a resort) but if you are looking for a pleasant experience and resort golf is in your price range, a visit to Phantom Horse is worthwhile. |
