Decent Layout ruined by terrible Geofencing and poorest greens on otherwise nice course

Can't abide courses that carelessly set up their geofences, which disabled my cart while ON a CARTPATH, ended up having to drive on the turf at the edge of OB to get around the poor fence, plus multiple other times it prevents users from driving on reasonable areas over 30-50 feet from a green, while other players in their own carts can drive right up to the edge of the green..

Furthermore, greens were mowed very long, which required massively strong putts to go 20 ft. or more.

finally, vista/cielo is the only 18 hole rotation that doest leave you with a 10+ minute ride either before or after your round.

A Pleasure to Play

Lee and Jerry on staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgable; great service! The Vista / Lagos courses were generally in good shape though there were some dry spots on a couple fairways. One issue for me was unclear signage to direct you from end of Vista to the start of Lagos. Otherwise a pleasure to play all round.

Great course

Great course but a bit challenging to find your way around. In addition, finished playing at 2:00 but grill already closed. A little disappointing that we could not get anything to eat.

Staff is excellent, very friendly. Course in excellent condition considering the heat of the summer.

Rough shape

Course is in bad shape right now. Dead/thin spots everywhere and greens are slow and bumpy. I’ll wait a few months and give them time to fix it before I go back.

Rude and disrespectful

The staff was rude and entitled! We were trying to check in and were treated badly!

Golfen old lady

I have played these courses many times and the courses have been in good to excellent condition. but not this time. The fairways and around the greens are in poor condition, no grass or burnt-out grass. The greens are in good- minus condition The cart attendant was grumpy old man. After driving an hour, I was very disappointed.

Needs a sign

Greens were great! Fairways had too many bare spots. However, when in shape it has been a great course the few times I played it. When playing the Cielo course and getting off the first green you expect hole #2 to be straight ahead. Who would expect that you go all the way to the wash to play 1 hole.. After figuring out that is wrong you start looking for signs that tell you where to go. There is 1 sign that says follow the arrows and it's pointed in the wrong direction so golfers from 1 don't even notice it. The sign needs to be facing the people coming off 1 and it needs to say "FOLLOW THE ARROWS ON THE STREET WITH A LEFT ARROW. This is not something that should have to be explained. We held up the group behind us for 15 minutes because of it.

Quirky course. Just a bit overpriced for the condition its in

Certainly you need to keep a close eye out for the signage to get around the course.. its right in the middle if a housing development so for me it lacked character.

Greens were true faiways were poor. Course was quite forgetable . Overpriced when compared to other in the area.

Decent course

Course was dry and some fairways were really thin but didn’t negatively affect play. Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Fun course and will be back again.
