Scottsdale Country Club - The Roadrunner Course

Second week in a row that I played this course and once again extremely slow play! Last Friday 4 hours & 50 minutes & this Friday, 2 & half hours to play 9 & when we came to number 10, 2 4-soms ahead of us so we bailed. I’m done with this course!

This course has some new amenities. They look nice. The course itself is still not in great shape. Tee boxes are rock hard. Too many bald spots even after overseed. They need to enforce ball mark repair on the greens. Overall an average course at best.

Last time I played here is was HORRIBLE. Yesterday was MUCH MUCH better. Seems the course is making some great changes.

Pace was very slow. No ranger - no cart gal service was a bummer.

We played early Morning so the pace was great. I had not played here in 10 years so the layout had changed. The front nine was in better shape than the back nine. The back seemed shorter than I recalled but was in good shape. I had a billing issue that was quickly resolved and yes I would play here again

Well, the newly renovated clubhouse and practice areas are great…. Course is a little roughed up….no way they should be letting carts off the cart paths this early after overseed and 2 days of rain. Pace of play is brutal. 3 hours on the back nine. .

I was in the area for a week and played the course twice. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. It had rained a lot in the past week and there were lots of puddles on the cart paths and the side areas. We had the unforutunate luck of following 2 groups who were playing from tees which were beyond their abilities so the round took between 4.5 and 5 hours. It was just over 4 hours when I played a few days earlier on a weekday. Overall, a good value for the mone.

$135 and this is one of the worst courses I’ve ever played. It’s basically a scam. If you pay to play this course you’ve been warned.

This was the first time that I played this course under the new MANAGEMENT. Wow what an improvement! Now they actually have an excellent driving range. Their practice green and chipping area has been added onto and is about four times the size it used to be. The course conditions are excellent. The only complaint that I would have is that they need to do more about moving things along on the course. It took close to five hours to play 18 holes. I never saw a Marshall. That aside, it was a great bang for the buck, especially in Scottsdale. I will definitely play this course again and again.
