McDowell Mountain Golf Club

Course is in decent shape for this time of year. Nice layout. Worth the discounted Hot Deal price on GolfNow. Wouldn’t pay normal asking price, however.

I’m spending a year in Scottsdale and this course was always on my list however I always found courses I could play for less money. I had credit with GN from a cancelled reservation and could only use it for Hot Deal tee time. When it came up here I jumped on it. It was my birthday and I played alone for the first nine. The starter was very friendly and when I told him I was from Hilton Head I think he thought I was a low handicaper so he stood behind me to watch me hit. Of course it was not my best drive but I went on to mark 11 pars and one birdie for the best round here in Scottsdale. The fairways were in good shape although the summer heat was taking its toll, same for the greens but overall a very nice track.

A good round played with almost nobody else in front of me. Greens were in great condition. Few fairways need some irrigation. Overall, I’d play it again in the future with the summer bringing down the green fees.

Very friendly staff managing a great course layout and overall conditions. Love to play here, later afternoon tee times in the summer are a great deal

First time using mats at their range (not a fan). Overall, the course was in very good shape, with almost all in a green, lush state (a positive contrast to most over courses in the Valley). Tee boxes were fine (some could use some leveling), fairways good, rough was being maintained nicely, all greens would hold a shot (not found anywhere else that I’ve seen) and were quite fast (a few were struggling with a foreign grass), and sand traps were very playable. Pace was good (3:45), but the threesome in front of us was a hole+ behind the group in front of them. Definitely a good value with GolfNow Hot Deal. Go and enjoy….

The greens are pretty rough right now. Everything else is in decent shape. The starter warned us that every green undulates and this was not my experience. About half of them are relatively flat around the hole.

Perfect date for golfers. Easy going and a beautiful course. No pressure with strategic shots. Fresh maintained greens. And the views!!!!! Definitely golfing here again.
