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.

Decent course at a great value

Nice little 9 hole course. Not too many water hazards. No par 5s. Pretty flat, no elevated greens. Ice, water, and cups available. Walking and riding available.

Poop everywhere

I like to walk the course and you can’t take a step on the first 3-4 holes without finding poop everywhere. The rest of the course was okay but there was even poop on the greens. Probably won’t go back

Fair course for the price

For being a little 9-hole muni in the middle of Phoenix, it’s all you can ask for given the price. The staff was friendly and it was really laid back

Heat has takrn a toll on Palo Verde

Have played this course dozens of times. First time since March. The past months heat and a lack of maintenance (?) has burned this course out. The greens have burned out from the aeration holes, and the fairways are rock hard with no grass or soggy in the wrong places.You can live with hard burned out fairways on a predominately par-3 but bad greens leave little excuses. Closer it down for a month and put in some green maintenance. I wont be back here until December.

Another beautiful run at Palo

The best track in Phoenix. Oh it looks so simple, so regular. Take a step in. The launch perspectives into the green could be a Monet masterpiece. and the greens. Ohhh the greens. None of the putts really break. Everything is an illusion. What a brain bender. Man I love Palo!!

Fair Executive

The price is right. There is a driving range that is used often. Nice that there are some water features on the course. I don’t remember seeing a sand trap. Pace of play was a little slow but I give extra points that I wasn’t made to group up and I could play solo. Condition was fine. No real issues. There are some lack of grass areas around the greens that will have you short chipping of soft dirt. For the price and quick 9 I can get it, I will probably be back.

A nice nine hole course

For the money it was a good day of golf. The course was in good shape and we really enjoyed it. It was crowded but it moved right along. If you’re looking for a nice nine hole course to play/practice this is it.
