Great if you have nothing to do the rest of the day

We didn't tee off until almost 25 mins past our tee time because they were so far behind. We then were forced to be paired with another two-some because they were so far behind. It took 90 mins to play 5 holes and at that point our entire foursome quit after one of us got hit by a ball. I would recommend going mid week when it hopefully would be less crowded. Friday at 1pm was a bad choice.

Sweet 9 hole!

Straight shots to the greens but bring your short game!!! Greens are REALLY nice and pin placement was tough. Driving range is nice. Terrific value!

Convenient and cheap, but very mediocre

One of the few courses we have actually been able to get on in the Phoenix metro, and it’s obvious why. This is definitely a bottom tier, limited golf options course. BORING layout, painfully slow pace of play (1:50 for nine holes on a SHORT course with nowhere to waste time looking for balls).

Greens were in good condition (fast and smooth), but the rest of the course in mediocre condition — not terrible, but very dry with sparse grass in the fairways and none off the fairways.

If we lived in Phoenix and had to play courses like this, we’d give up the game.

A Crowded Course

The appointment times are too close together not taking into account that most people are walking. This last time my partner and i waited at least 10 minutes at each tee for the players in front of us to clear the green. It wasnt their fault as they also had to wait for the players to clear in front of them.until the 9th tee..

Course covered in geese poop

Overall, a decent 18 hole course but the greens were covered in geese crap, so it made it difficult to walk the course.
