I enjoy playing this course cause it’s more wide open than what I am used to here in the Phoenix metro area. I will play here again as it is a nice course for the money.

Good value. Great condition

Good value. Greens in great condition. Bunker sand was evenly distributed and consistent. Fairways were good but not great...too dried out.

T-boxes are really close to greens. Course layout led to backups on back 9.

No GPS on carts.

Overall a good experience.

Enjoyed playing this course which was nicely maintained. Fairways and greens were in good condition. My only mention was that the ladies tees were the same as senior men so very difficult to make par unless you hit monster long drives. Easy to walk the course.

Nice course at a reasonable price.

The course was great. We’d definitely like to golf it again! The price of golf has gone up a lot this year. It was nice finding a decent price plus an early afternoon time available to get in 18 holes before dark. Best value we’ve come across while visiting the Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa area the past couple weeks.

Quick round

Enjoyable round on a Sunday morning. Course in above average conditions. A little casual water in spots. Less than a 4 hour round. Priceless in today's world of 5 hour rounds!!! Will play here again.

First review ever written by me. Ever

For the price this place is awesome. Green’s were good, traps were better than good. Under 4 hour pace. Had a blast out there with 3 other strangers. Will be back they’re doing it right out there.

Mr.

They could sure use a Ranger on this course. We had some kids ahead of us (good to see young people playing) who knew nothing of the etiquette of golf. We finished in the dark.

Challenging Greens

Good course for the money, fairways are green and the greens are challenging, a few greens have steep slopes resulting in missed puts rolling off the green.
