Very scenic track. I didn't eat here, but played golf. Course is in good shape. Staff was very friendly. The fairways are wide and in great shape. Keep the ball in play and good scores are to be had. Water comes into play on only a few holes really, and there are lots of bunkers around, though they should be... More

The view is gorgeous, one of the best in the valley. The food is typical golf club fare - don't expect anything special. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with it - just unimaginitive & not a'foodie' destination - stick to sandwhiches & salads. More

We had drinks and apps at the bar. Food was boring and tasted processed. Who serves tricolored tortilla chips anymore? Ugh! The eighties are over! The kitchen definitely needs work prior to my eating dinner here! More

The sunset patio view from this golf course restaurant is magnificent. It's the place to take your visitors. The meat dishes were excellent, the fish, barramundi, a tad fishy. (maybe don't order fish in the desert?) More

We recently played Escena. We were looking for a medium priced course that would be challenging and not break the bank. Escena delivered. Wide fairways, no forced carries, very forgiving desert if you happened to hit it there. Pace of play was a little over 4 hours and seemed about right. Course condition above average. Beautiful clubhouse and restaurant. One... More

You've got a Great Jack Nicklaus designed Gold course, open to the Public attached to a Great Restaurant. Usually attend Happy Hour that offers a Great Deal, as well as one of the best Restaurant views in all of the Coache3lla Valley! More

We played 2 rounds here - the price is reasonable for the quality of the course. It was an easier round on the day the wind was quiet. The club house has a great selection of women's clothing. More
