Nice course

While the layout and course conditions were great, tge pace of play wasn't. Unfortunately if you're going to load the course up, then you shouldn't allow any walkers.

I try to golf at Phillips 3 times a week I enjoy it at the time however around a lot of the green are burnt out I know water is expensive however it’s a must I rather it be thick and challenging Some of them were some what non existent I love the course

The staff is very nice I get greeted by my name that goes a long way I understand the heat is a bother This years every time I come parking lot is always packed and course is full The whole time Don’t take things always is about the money Trust me that’s why I been golfing for 35 years at this establishment Just don’t forget the small details By the way Having cold water every three holes is a big reason I feel safe from overheating I also have noticed the bunker have got better The course just needs to have a little love Keep it clean and the golfers will come

This course was well maintained! With the mix of walking golfers and cart golfers slowed things down bit over all we had a great experience.

July 6th - Sunday Morning

Crowded course but a good pace of play. Very reasonable costs and the course was in very good condition.

Its a great public course, especially one owned by the city. Its a treat to play and I will always come back.

Looks Easy, but lots of challenges!

Rough proved to be a challenge. However, the greens rolled very well.

Hot day on the course

The day was very hot but the course was filled up. A nice time...the only complaint is that the clubhouse grill and refreshments closed at 4:30. No nineteenth hole for us with a 1:20 tee time. Many golfers had tee times that were after the grille closed. A course worthwhile despite that though.
