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.
Great Course To Get Outta Phoenix and Play
Friendly staff, challenging layout, great greens, and cooler than Phoenix.
Good Layout, Great People, Rough Course Condition
Played for the first time and it was a bit of a shock after playing other AZ courses this trip. The people are very nice and I was told things were better condition wise just a short time ago, so in all fairness they may be trying to get the greens to grow in? The course layout is fun and challenging, although there are no sand traps on the course. Less maintenance I suppose? The greens are pretty horrible, and again they may be in some transition phase. Most greens we have been playing in AZ are either quick or fast and these greens are similar to putting on a nicely mown tee box! Very Very Slow and Bumpy! You don't stroke a putt, you HIT a putt.
I did take into consideration the Covid thing as well as the labor issues out there, otherwise my rating would be 2 instead of 3. The other issue is the dormant bermuda is only beginning to grow, so if you are off the often narrow fairways even by a foot, you will likely be playing off mostly native sandy soft soil. When the bermuda pops I assume that will get better.
Overall it is a fun day on the course as we could certainly be doing other things, like shoveling snow at home or going to work at a job we don't want to do, so I actually would recommend the course to others if they are aware of the conditions! If you just want to go play some golf at a reasonable price and aren't worried about the issues previously mentioned, go for it! I think they could use the money:)
Worth the dive from Sedona
It's worth the short drive from Sedona to play here. Very nice course and staff. Course was in good condition, but the greens were very lumpy. I suspect it was due to the winter conditions.
Don't Waste Your Money
A friend said this course was a pretty nice course with great greens but he hadn't played it in a while. It was immediately agreed, upon by all of our 8 players, that on this day the greens were nowhere close to great. In fact, they were terrible. In addition to poor greens condition, they appear to have no interest in marshalling play. We had a group in front of us that had at least 4 open holes in front of them. This group even stopped to have a small party on the 16th fairway while everyone behind had to wait for them in order to continue. A course employee drove by and didn't even address the situation. Finally the roughs were being rototilled during play, that's right rototilled, causing a huge cloud of dust over the playing area and settling on golfers in it's path. Roughs overall were nothing but dirt. The only positive comment I can give the course is it has a decent layout, great views, and potential to be very nice. The clubhouse restaurant and bar personnel were also very responsive, professional, and courteous. I would highly recommend replacing the grounds and overall course management teams immediately. Bottom line, save your money and stay away from this course until many improvements are made. I wouldn't play it again for free.
Great Value
If you have not played this one yet, give it a try. Great price, fun, fair layout, and conditions are good for the money.
Really good course!
We booked one of there deals on there website and played at 12 for $30+tx. If you sign up for their text offers you they set you up with a 20% off code. We drove down from Flagstaff. Golf shop and course staff were very friendly. Pace of play was good and the grass was green on the fairways and the greens were good for the time of year. The rough was thin and would have helped on this desertesque style course but its winter. The layout was cool and had variety including elevation changes on a few holes. The golf shop even allowed us to play a few extra even tho we offered to pay. I appreciate they recognized we drove down and didn't ask how much we paid or if we got a deal for our first round. They just said go have fun. That is great customer service. Obviously I'm not looking to get free holes everytime now but It's hard to believe so many people give this place such a bad wrap. Yes the bar was closed and amenities were limited but it's gonna take time to get things back to normal plus it was Tuesday! Since the start of the pandemic I've called the courses ahead of time and asked what was available and then planned accordingly like a responsible adult. Places out in these rural areas have to charge a bit more and provide a little less in some areas during these times, they just have to. Get over it then support itself! We were satisfied completely and look forward to driving down and playing here often. Stop at Gs Burger for a strong cocktail and great burger afterwards. Fairways and greens my fellow humans.
Goat ranch
50 dollars for twilight starting at 1 pm . Real joke. . No restaurant , no bar, no bathrooms on course, just disgusting porta potties. Mgmt doesn’t have any interest in course condition our emenities.. Don’t waste your money
I have played this course many times, but the condition of this course right now is the worst that I have seen it. The tee boxes were in terrible shape to the point of having to find a spot that wasn't torn up, the fairways were average, the rough was mostly dirt hardly any grass. It is in deperate need of work to bring it back to where it once was. I will not spend $50-55.00 to play it again. I would rather drive over to Sedona and play one of the two courses over there and pay a little more money and not tear up my clubs.
