All Good

I joined another single late afternoon. The course overall was empty (Cinco de Mayo). At hole # 3 we got stuck behind two 4-somes. Certainly not the course’s fault. Turns out my partner and I had a common employer in the past, so we yapped it up the whole time.

The greens hadn’t been mowed in a few days it appeared to which I could not adjust. All good though. I drove the ball well and hit a few great shots. Nice outing overall.

Take your money elsewhere

I have played Palm Valley many times. Today’s conditions do not warrant $109+. I understand the industry is encountering inflation but this is a ripoff price. Greens are sloowww and poorly maintained in areas causing inconsistent reads. I’m a scratch golfer and lost strokes due to the inconsistent cuts and conditions on greens. Some of the tee boxes need help. It’s a shame, as I played collegiate events here when it is in mint condition. However, for peak Arizona golf season, it’s truly a shame how poorly kept it is now. Take your $100 elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to share your candid feedback. We truly appreciate your history with Palm Valley and the perspective you bring as a frequent player.

We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding green conditions and value. Feedback like yours is taken seriously, especially from players who are familiar with the course at its best. Our agronomy team is continually working to balance seasonal demands, weather impacts, and play volume, but we recognize that consistency—especially on the greens—is critical to the overall experience.

Your comments regarding green speed, surface consistency, and tee box conditions have been shared with our maintenance team for review and action. We are committed to delivering conditions that align with peak-season expectations, and we acknowledge that we fell short during your visit.

We do appreciate your loyalty to Palm Valley over the years and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the level of experience you’ve come to expect from us.

Thank you again for your honest feedback.

Good course to play

Love Palm Valley but West Course is not in the great shape. North and South are the two you always want to play. Staff is great though. Pace can be challenging at times and yesterday was bad so late in the day. Enjoy your round

Thank you for your continued support of Palm Valley! We’re glad you enjoy the North and South courses and appreciate your kind words about our team.

We hear you on the West Course and are actively working to improve conditions. We also understand the frustration with pace of play, especially later in the day, and are focused on making that more consistent.

Thanks again for the feedback—we look forward to seeing you back out soon!

Worst course I have played in AZ

Absolutely no shade around the T boxes for carts. Not one ball washer on the course. No regulation by a Marshall and no cart path signs anywhere on the fairways

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent round with us. I’m very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.

Playing in the Arizona heat, especially without adequate shade or on-course amenities, can certainly impact enjoyment, and your comments regarding the lack of ball washers, signage, and marshal presence are all noted. These are important details that contribute to both comfort and overall course management, and we clearly fell short during your visit.

We are actively reviewing these areas with our team—specifically improving on-course signage, evaluating amenity placement, and reinforcing our Player Assistant presence to better manage pace and support our guests throughout their round.

Your feedback is extremely valuable, and I truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

Thank you again for your honesty, and we hope to have the chance to earn back your trust.

Great round

This is one of the few times at any course I've seen a marshall actually push a slow foresome who got quite snotty with him apparently.

If a course will send marshalls out to actually manage pace of play it makes that course top notch to me.

Great Track

Played 18 on this course in over 100° weather. Course was in great shape, staff was very accommodating and friendly, and it is a very enjoyable place to play. Not too difficult, unlike other courses I have played this course is not in the desert it is in the middle of a city. So you don’t lose a lot of balls to the desert! Would play again, very great location.

Another great day!

Palm Valley is a great little gem on the west side of Phoenix. For how much traffic this golf course gets, it’s worth the trip. They can probably do a bit better with pace of play, but that’s everywhere.
