Fun Course In Very Poor Condition = Not Worth The Money!

PV used to be a great little course but lately management has let it deteriorate. 4 of the 9 tee boxes were OK with enough grass to make for a normal tee box, others not so much. I would rate the fairways were average with a combination of grass, weeds and dirt on all of them. Greens were cut extremely short to reduce the overabundance of poa and weeds. Looked like perhaps there was some green fertilizer or paint sprayed on the greens, but could not really tell. Overall the course needs some water as things were overly dry and dusty. There are 18 hole courses that are in much better shape than PV and are charging less than PV such as Ahwatukee Lakes, Continental, Scottsdale Country Club and Apache Wells. Do not recommend this course until they maintain the course better!

Quick Swings With A Friend

Have been here plenty of times. Close to where I live. Can walk the 9 quickly as long as there isn't a 4some in front of me. Riding, I can complete in less than an hour sometimes. Driving range is fine. Pro shop is fine. Staff is nice. There are some beverages you can purchase in pro shop. Free coffee is a nice offering. Putting and chipping greens are decent and appreciated. Course is a bit rough on tee boxes and around the greens. Fairways and greens were pretty decent. For price and quality, I will keep coming back for a quick 9 or even 18.

A great discount option

Palo verde provides a very easy layout for beginner golfers. The fairways can be a bit tight, but topping the ball toward the pin doesn’t find you in any bunkers or water usually. Very nice greens that are in pretty good shape.

range and a quick round, 2 1/2 hrs

Palo Verde is a good practice course for the average recreational golfer. Nice range and good people. Course conditions (for an inexpensive 9-hole muni in the middle of the desert) were good where they should be, with consistent greens and maintained fringe areas.

It is very walkable with enough trees to make it easy to find shade on warmer days.
