Never really a bad course. Driving range mats are old. With as tight as they pack in the tee times, probably should consider removing carts all together except for those with a disability/reduced capacity to walk as pace of play was a bit slow behind a group that was half walkers and carts.

Returning the cart, there was no way to get from the south side of 9 to the return without going back through the area of play. So, Drove through the lot. Apparently not allowed, but the sign that says that, isn’t visible to anyone unless you’re on the west side of the building, tucked in by a small parking lot and happen to be looking in its exact spot.

Oh well. We’ll be back and won’t drive in the lot.

Central Phoenix semi quick 9

Nice enough to get in some practice chipping pitch shots

The course surrounds a dirt driving range so when they collect balls creates a dust storm add a little wind and your breathing a bunch of dust if that’s not a issue then watch out for balls raining down on holes 4,5 and 9. Nettings is obviously low and that needs to be addressed. I counted at least 7 balls physically landing with in 30’ of me

Big puddles everywhere watch your step

Muni course so it has pretty decent fairways and greens.

Overall I will go again because its location is convenient price is great and I do get great practice in

Great shape

Booked a 9 hole round as a single. Ran into friends with a later tee time. The staff was very accommodating, letting me switch tee times. We had a great time and ended up replaying to play 18 holes 🤗

Great for Short Game and Beginners

This is also a fairly easy course to walk. Most holes are short par 3s. A seasoned golfer might only use their driver once or twice. The course was a little dry but considering it’s September in Phoenix, it’s understandable. The staff was extremely helpful!

We do plan on returning.

Pay Attention to your golfers

Couldn't make and pay for golf on line. The website seems to lead one to believe you can as they ask for a credit card etc. Once we got to the course, we got several excuses about how the software was not functioning correctly and we had pay in person. We tried playing Palo Verde several times. We play early and it seems no one on the grounds keeping crew seems to think keeping the sprinklers on while you have golfers on the course is a problem. We are tired of trying to tee off in a shower and having the sprinklers on for the entire round. While we will be utilizing your practice range, we won't be back to play the course. Thank you for the opportunity to bring this to your attention.
