Nice city of Phoenix golf course.

This was my wife's and my first time to play here. We were paired up with another twosome who were both nice to play with. Since we had to start on hole Ten at 1:36 PM

the last 3 - 4 holes were pretty brutal looking into the sun on the front 9. It was really so bright it was hard to tell when the twosome in front of us had cleared the green on 18. Otherwise a fun day.

A sunny yet refreshingly cool round

Given the price and volume of golf played on the course due to its downtown location, I was pleasantly surprised at its solid condition.

Tee boxes were in great shape, and the fairways were neat. The greens were hard and fast with some tricky pin locations.

The practice facilities were impressive, featuring a well-maintained driving range and dedicated areas for chipping and putting.

However, the pace of play was noticeably slow, which detracted from the overall experience. That said, the friendly and accommodating staff at the pro shop made up for it, as did the regular visits from the cart girls, ensuring players stayed refreshed throughout the round.

Ok Municipal Course

This city course is just ok. The greens are super fast and hard, the fairways aren't bad, and the tee boxes aren't that good. For as busy as this course seems to be, more money should be invested into it for a better experience.

Holiday golf outing

The greens are in great shape. They are true and very quick. If you are off the fairways or miss the greens it's a bit damp and may get a thin lie that's not so great.

I will give props to the greens keeper and course maintenance 👍👍
