"First off, our host Mike was amazing! Quickly responded to questions, was helpful, and was accurate in his communication. The property was just right for what we were there for - golf! Couldn't have picked a better location, as it was steps away (carrying our golf bags) to a walk gate leading you right into PGA West's Clubhouse parking lot (Nicklaus Tournament and Dye Stadium). AMAZING! Amenities were plentiful - service for 12!! e-Bikes in the garage were a pleasant surprise. Shared amenities - pool, bbq/patio at pool, fitness center were all fantastic! We will book this one again, and again, and again!"
