Very nice 9 hole city course

Perfect course for the very casual / beginner golfer or a quick 9 hole round. A nice course to walk. The course is in very good condition. The staff are very friendly & helpful. Reasonable winter rates.

I wouldn’t play this course again even if the green fees were $1 or less.

I understand this course has a lot of play but there are no redeeming features.

What to say??

Consider this my home course, learned how to play here and at Cave Creek. I keep returning and have turned this little gem into a Sunday practice round, great for short/scoring irons and putting. Love this place, alway have- always will.

Great course and great staff

I had a few hours available and needed some fairway therapy. I was going to be in the area so I hit Tee Off and found this little gem. $20 including a cart. I arrived about 30 minutes early and asked if I could get a pull cart instead of a riding cart. She said that would be fine and handed me a card for a free small bucket of balls for the difference in cart fees. Course was in excellent condition especially the greens. If you need a quick round on a great little course I can highly recommend this gem.

Great exec course

If you’re looking for a quick 9 holes to work on your short game this is the place. Friendly staff and a the course is in good shape. The weekends can be busy, however the weekdays are great. I’ve played 2x in the last two weeks and finished in 90 mins both times.

We had fun at this course.

I really liked the course. They were getting ready for overseeding so some spots were a bit wet.

I liked the greens that undulated and you had to read them. This course has a nice mix of shorter and longer holes that let me use a greater mix of clubs.

Palo Verde is complete with a driving range, putting and chipping practice areas.

This is a very compact course that opened in 1961. Tucked in a nice Phoenix neighborhood.

The staff was the best. The course manager made us feel welcome and the carts are well maintained.
