Payson Golf Club

I hadn’t played in 3 weeks and just had to play. This is the only public course in Payson, and wasn’t driving over a hour to play in 110 degree heat in the valley.

1) the fairways are reminiscent of a Goat Farm. not much grass on the front nine a little more on the back.

2) not a single level tee box, or grass on them.

3) The pace and f play was terrible, there was a group of 8 twenty something’s in fron of us and no one did anything about it.

4) This is city operated, so the greens are all that’s maintained and they were furry and slow.

5) I paid $28.00 for a hot deal and feel it should have been $10.00.

Obviously, they don’t have the budget to operate it a a good level with better conditions. Maybe turn it into a park!

Had no expectations. Got there early and the tee was available so they sent us out early. The front was very flat with not a lot of character but it was fun. The back has more adventure to it and some elevation gain and loss but still pretty flat. The greens were good and they were SOFT. I don't usually stick my irons but the ball was sitting down nicely leaving significant ball marks and necessary repair. Fairways were pretty good and tees not as good. Coming from the valley the temperature was a very welcome relief and the staff was great. A local told us the course was on the upswing as far as conditions and investment goes.Two of us would be happy to come back and the third guy is just an old grouch.
