Mildly rude concierge and tee times booked tight
My first time to this course and had an unwelcoming experience. Concierge was not welcoming, impatient, and rude. Further, as a group of 4, we had to play rushed and let other players skip us. Price for the tee time is nice but not worth the experience. Will try and play other courses for a few dollars more next time.
18 holes in under 2 hors
There was no one on the course so we flew through the course in under 2 hours!! One of the many beauties of golfing after the snow birds have left!
Great value
Had a fun 3 hours of play for our foursome. For start of summer course in great condition
Good track
Great short track for the dough .. great place to work on your 2nd shot , and wedge game . The greens are crazy difficult, turtle backs keep the below the hole if you can . Good shape for this time of year .
Nice little 18 hole walk
Course was in great condition. Great place to sharpen your short game. Nice quiet practice facility also.
Review
Good condition but crazy tough greens for an average golfer.
Houses along the course, especially the back nine are pretty tough looking, sure takes away from the ambiance.
Trying to better the course. A lot better than the last couple years
Trying to better the course. Better than last couple years.
An OK short course
An older course. Short. Good enough to practice your short game. Not a fan of having to cross Sossaman road twice on the back nine. It's a much better value once the summer rates kick in.
Rudest Pro Shop Staff EVER
It's a good bang for your buck course- ideal for beginners. However the service, especially the woman in the pro shop is miserable to work with. She is rude, not welcoming and has obvious distain for her job or much less treating people with common decency. Which is too bad since the course is actually and fun to play. Do better Desert Sands. Your first impression with her leaves a bad impression.
Golf in az
Great course for mix of beginners and more experienced players. Greens are tricky. Stay below the hole when making approach ahots
