Pleasant Surprise
Finding good value during the week of the WM Phoenix Open can be a challenge. The four of us played in less than 4 hours and never felt rushed. The course is basically flat with some elevation when approaching the greens. While the forward tees are not a big advantage to our wives, they appreciate the roll they got from their tee shots.
I would recommend the course to anyone who asks look forward to playing again.
The staff was courteous, welcoming, and helpful!

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.
