Lots of minor issues.
- NO LOOP - Players can park either near tee (1) or near tee (9). Regardless of the choice, it will either be a quarter mile walk to the start of the course, or a quarter mile walk back to the car. There is an informal marked reverse layout reusing most of the pads, but the reverse layout adds no value to non-locals and piles on the issues.
- MULTI USE HAZARDS - Like every course I've played in Vegas (5 of them), there are other park amenities that come into play routinely. Here at Arroyo, it's mainly walking paths and trails, but they are in play on almost every hole. I had to pause my play multiple times. I could see the dog park coming into play on a terrible shot as well.
- NAVIGATION AND SIGNAGE - The on-site posted course map is sun bleached to the point of being useless. No tee signs are present either. Thankfully someone was kind enough to sharpie a number and direction to throw on each pad. Players will need a nav app to seamlessly proceed.
- TEES - Circular 8 foot diameter concrete pads. I needed more several times.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Of the five courses I hit in the Vegas area, I scored this one in the middle for aesthetics and at roughly 40 percentile on my ledger as of this review. The backdrop is nice several times, the terrain is cool, and the rock lined paths were neat. The issues however are the constant view of the built environment and the culvert. There is also a lack of lush vegetation and small bits of trash on just about every hole.
- TERRAIN - I don't agree that the course is listed as very cart friendly. After hole (4), the course traverses rocky flat terrain for the remainder. My ankles got a workout. I would not recommend this course to players with bad knees or foot issues.
- FORGIVENESS - Lots of chances for players to scrape up their discs here. Don't bring plastic here that can't take a beating. I am no longer going to feel bad when someone hits a rock on my backyard course. Oh wait, I never did.
- CULVERT - A concrete culvert comes into play 5 times. Good luck crossing it to all those who attempt to throw here after a good downpour. Also, just another feature to help scruff up one's discs.
- TIME PLAY - I clocked in at 27 minutes. A touch higher compared to the average niner I've thrown. However, this figure does not include the time it took me to walk to (1).
