Palo Verde -- Muni Round

First things first, this is a city municipal course, so don't be expecting Troon-like quality or private course amenities/conditions. You get what you pay for.

Having said that, was a nice time at this 9 hole muni. Easily walkable, though carts are available but the push courts allow for an easier time to walk this short course. Of the 9 holes, 6 are Par 3s, so good time to test your short game.

The conditions were what you expect in the fairways and for early in the morning when I teed off (sprinklers still going, wet spots, mud in some spots, etc). Just know you are playing around $12 to $15 for a city course and don't expect anything else. However, I was really impressed by the condition the greens were in -- if there's a good thing to say about this course, it's that the greens are better than a lot of other/better courses I've played throughout the years.

Most par 3 courses are in poor shape. This course was in great shape and the greens were excellent. Putts moved a lot if you were not in front of the pin. Shot 1 over.

Pleasantly surprised

Played the course off a recommendation. Turned out to be perfect for my wife who just started but still good enough to let me use driver on some holes and still work on my irons. Looking for a quick round in central Phoenix, come here! Think it was $12 to walk 18.

Well-maintained course

I was really impressed with the condition of the turf. I walked the course and all aspects are in superb condition. Bigger and more expensive courses should pay attention to what's being done at this little course. I will be back.

Great 9 hole course

Course is in great shape, usually not crowded, can play in about 90 minutes. Staff is very friendly, juniors are welcome and play free with paid adult after noon on Sundays. Great bargain in Central Phoenix.

Its an old city course but its in the best shape ever, the greens are soft and receptive. Overall it's a real good bang for the buck. Ill be back. I sometimes practice putting chipping and use the driving range. Last fall I bought some clothing items on sale and got some really nice stuff at a real good price.

Great course for the coin

I like this course a lot. Driving range, nice golf carts, fairways in great shape, greens were in excellent condition and pace of play was good considering the holiday. I wish I had a chance to use my driver more but all the par threes makes you work on that important short game. I would definitely play Palo Verde again.

For a quick and pleasant 9 hole round, Palo Verde fills the bill. Three par 4's and 6 par 3's make up the course layout. Walking is easy on this flat course and is recommended over using a cart. Play your irons and hybrids and leave the driver in the bag on the par 4's.

Your short game will be tested and the greens provide plenty of undulation, slope and challenge to keep you focused.

Staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming.

A nice putting and chipping area and a well kept practice range enhance the amenities at PV.

A perfect course for the novice as well as the better player.

In all fairness

First 9 top walk was $14 on line. To repeat on site was an additional $6. The only complaints I would have is how many people who were SLOW on a simple course layout, but they payed the same greens fees as anyone, so......

Beautiful weather, and for what it is, Palo Verde is a place I would recommend (over seeding has been done, and its all good).
