Ok golf

They should offer a discount course was in rough shape. A drilling rig was in the middle of one of the holes. Big water leaks in the middle of the fairway. I will not play here again.

Very poor condition

This course is probably in the worst condition of any course I’ve ever played. It may be under construction but the price to value here is completely unacceptable.

Embarrassing

I brought friends that were here on vacation from MN. This course is trashed. Spend the couple extra bucks and go to Sedona.

Course is in fair condition, Staff is great!

The course is in fair condition. Fairways are decent, roughs have little to very lean bermuda, greens are in fair condition. Some greens have areas of repair and can be soft in areas.

Pro Shop staff and Eduardo in the lounge were great! Pace of play can be slow in the AM due to the Men's club on Monday's & Friday.. But I was lucky enough to be paired with 2 guys who were a lot of fun to play a round of golf with. Making for a enjoyable day on the course.

Staff is great, condition of course is fair

The staff @ Agave were great, friendly & helpful, from the Pro Shop, maintenance crew to cart barn attendants! The course condition is fair. Fairways have enough grass to hit off. The roughs are just that. Having areas with little to skimpy Bermuda grass to hit off. Layout is fun with some challenging shots to clear barrancas, but nice. The greens are fair, some have areas being repaired & are a bit slow. Overall if looking for a full length course to get a round in that is 1/2 the cost of courses in Sedona. Give it a go!

Stay away!

This was easily the worst course I’ve ever played. No way should a round of golf cost more than $20 here. The course conditions were beyond awful. Save yourself from wasting $70+

Not worth it

Over seeding is common in Oct but should be mentioned when reserving (cart path only on all holes - one temp green). Ground is hard and dry. Fairway grass is spotty at best and greens are have numerous bald and diseased spots that prevent true ball roll when putting. I would not play there again unless it was a third of the price.

ROUGH GREENS....CHALLENGING LAYOUT

Although a relatively short course at 6400 yard from the back tees, this course offered a real challenge for the average golfer. However, the greans were not in very good condition.

Little rough but nice staff

Course is a bit rough but mainly in the places you should not hit it. Staff is super friendly as well as the locals. Always a place I want to play when I am in Sedona area.

Rough summer conditions

Simply a dry desert course that hasn't been watered enough. Many greens patchy and damaged (oddly receptive but in spotty health). Fairways were very hard and barren. Cart paths were uncomfortable and bumpy to drive. Some quirks to the course, so you really need to play with someone who has local knowledge. Price didn't match quality. I won't make the trek to play it again.
