Long Bow is a course that we have really been looking forward to playing. It gets great ratings, and is well over $100 to play in the winter. We are paying $40 to play today. The carts, which were included in the rate, were very nice and had incredible gps technology, which helped with distances to all the course obstacles. This is not a neighborhood course, it is a true desert course. No houses to hit, but also no houses to look at.
We were excited to see that the carts were sitting in the shade waiting for us on our arrival.
Their outdoor dining at The Grill looks good, but no comfy chairs, which is something I really appreciate after a round of golf.
Cute decor for a desert course.
At first glance, the fairways looked pretty dry. And as we started playing they were as dry as they looked. You don't want to hit thick on this course, because it will rattle your soul. And many of the fairways are sloped, so with the dry grass, we ended up rolling off the fairway almost every time. Very unforgiving, even when we hit a great, middle of the fairway shot.
Gorgeous views! From this perspective I can see how this course gets such good ratings.
There is also a small airport right next to Long Bow. It must have been touch-and-go practice day, because we had about 3 planes per hole fly right over us.
It took the first nine holes for us to actually get into a groove, but once we did, we were able to really start enjoying the game and the beauty of this course. The back nine was much more enjoyable for both of us.
They have lots of really beautiful and difficult sand traps.
