I played the Dunes and Arroyo 9s. Upon my arrival I was greeted by the staff who took my clubs and showed me the way to the pro shop. There I was greeted by another friendly staff member who let me know about the course, range, locker room and where to grab lunch. Really made me feel welcome and made the visit easy. I changed my shoes in the locker room which was what I expect from a private club. Then went to look for a quick bite and found the beverage cart fully stocked with several types of sandwiches. Next I hit the range, putting green and then the first tee. The Dunes course was up first. It was not a true desert course but had a lot of bunkers. The Dunes ends at the clubhouse and then I teed it up on Arroyo. Both courses were very well maintained. I did find the putting greens to be relatively slow and never got used to it. But the greens were in good shape. The Arroyo ends with a fantastic par five with a peninsula green. The club was very busy but the pace was great. Finished in four hours. After my round I hit the bar and enjoyed a couple local brews, a tasty burger, and attentive service. Thoroughly enjoyed my day!

Customer service in the golf shop was great and so was the beverage cart girl. We played both courses and then had drinks in the bar afterwards. All 6 of us agreed that we would be back soon, but we couldn't agree which course we liked more! It was a split opinion - 4 liked the Pine best and 2 liked the Palm best.
