Fun to play and good for the money.

It is fun to play and has some hard shots.
It is easy to get to and the weather was great.

Target Golf

We enjoyed our round at Vistal golf course. It was very challenging. It had elevated tees on some Par 3's which required accuracy. The sand traps were also challenging with lips up to 2 feet on most holes, however the sand was easy to hit out of. The greens are in good shape and the fairways were firm. The staff were welcoming and helpful. We definitely plan on returning here again.

Needs work!

Like the layout, but course needs a lot of work. Fairways and greens were dyed green to make them look better than they really are.

Don't play in winter

Great layout, great views. Unfortunately, no grass. Fairways were painted. Chipping impossible. Won't play again until grass is growing.

Not Likely to play again

Besides the items rated above the good is the views of the City. The bad is poorly designed, unfair holes (e.g. firm, uphill, elevated greens which in some areas are not much more than 10 yards deep, minimal fringe then unplayable mountain desert. Also had many tees 20 yards +/- up which is not conducive to a fair score for handicap purposes.

Beautiful Views but painted fairways

It was a great layout but they paint the fairways and greens which made for difficult putting and not true greens

put some money in it

such potential, great views, could give the Legacy and Raven a run for their money if they spent some money on the fairways and greens. Beautiful views but that's it... no grass all paint and then they have the nerve to rush you through your round

Excellent views of the city

As other reviews state this is a great value for your money spent. It is challenging but not to hard. Down hill lies and uphill lies making it challenging. Every hole is different and has it's quirks but you can shoot low here if you avoid the bunkers and get a few lucky putts.The views are fantastic as you watch planes landing and taking off at Sky harbor and can see downtown. Your close to the Raven another great course and the legacy another excellent course but they are more expensive.

One of the nicest courses in south central phoenix

I was pleased with the course except 90% of the sand traps were fill with water from the heavy rains. Greens and fairways were in good shape. Very nice views of south mountain and Phoenix.
