The executive-length course at Continental Golf Club is a popular choice due to the friendly staff, convenient location, and challenging game. The course features undulating greens that are in excellent shape, as is the entire course. Unique mounding surrounds the narrow fairways. A drainage ditch and two lakes also come into play on the golf course. The signature hole is the par-4 18th hole, which calls for not only a tee shot but also an approach shot over water. The course plays fast but it is still quite enjoyable. Continental Golf Club also has practice facilities including a large driving range, putting green, and practice green.

Overbooked/Slow Pace

This could be a great executive course. Very well designed and the fairways and greens are in fairly good shape. The downside is they overbook and there is poor management of the course. I have played here often and don't remember seeing a range master at anytime. Very, very slow pace. If you play on this course expect to finish in 3-4 hours. Because the fees are much lower than other courses in the area, you save a few bucks, but you get a lot of weekend golfers out and they take there time around the course and stopping at the refreshment wagon. They have no sense of golf etiquette or understanding of moving along to maintain the pace of play. .

Slow Play

Pace of play too slow, especially on back nine. Shouldn't take over 3 - 3 1/2 hours to play executive course. A ranger is badly needed to keep things moving.

Wouldn't go back

This course was awful. The conditions were average except for the tee boxes - they are all hacked up and are all on slopes. Every single hole you are at risk of getting hit from a different hole and every 5 minutes someone is yelling fore. The worst part though was the pace of play. They obviously just try to cram as many people as possible out there. It took us 2.5 hrs to play 6 holes and then it was too dark to keep going.

In an area where there are so many other fabulous courses, I would go to any other course than this one. I would actually just rather not golf than have to go back here.

Poor course management

We played behind 4 five somes....yes 4 groups of 5...it took 4 hours and 45 minutes for an executive course. The excuse we were given is that there was a skins tournament and a bachelor party. This is not a Eason to let people play at 5 per group....Poor course management.

The course is over scheduled.

Two and a half hours to play 9 holes at a par-3 course. We quit after 12 holes. Tee boxes are like hitting out of a bunker. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Areas around them need some cleanup. I won't play this course again.

Fun little course

Tees need work, fairly unlevel and the grass was sparse. (Too small for the amount of play they get.) Greens had a lot of unfixed ball marks. But a fun little track, good for practicing irons and short game. Great value for money, especially in the high season.

cool cloudy day

It was a cool cloudy day with temps in low 50's which is probably why not too many people were out. Plus it was a weekday. I had two holes open in front of me for the first 9 and could take my time, sometimes taking a second shot. This is a nice course to loosen up and work on your short game.

Great executive course

Fun short course with 3 par 4s per side. with the rest being par 3s ranging from 110 yards to 185 yards. Bombers can leave their driver in the bag on the short par 4s. Greens are straightforward with no surprises. The read you see is how the ball will roll into the cup. A great course to play if you are a beginner or have been unfortunate enough to have not played in a couple months, and need to shake out the cobwebs.

Excellent. That's it

Excellent courses, played the Wild Burro and the Saguaro. Both in perfect condition and really beautiful. This course is not for everybody, they are difficult and challenging. I would say for below 18 hdc.

Decent exec course, good value

This is a nice course for husbands and wives... not too demanding but interesting enough to keep your attention. Greens on the front nine were pretty hairy and slow but the back nine seemed to be cut closer and ran better.

Excellent value

Played November 3, 2015 and found the course to be in surprisingly good condition. Excellent value for the intermediate or beginner. My wife and I had a very enjoyable round, and the staff were excellent. No cart service on the course, today so food and beverage was rated accordingly
Holes are varied and a couple of the par 4's are a good test.

Fun course

The course, while greatly improved, requires a little more professionalism as regards maintenance. Greens are still bumpy and slow. Roughs are high.
Overall it remains a good value. They are trying.

Nice executive course

Nice executive course. There are 6 par 4's and I hit my driver on each one. Greens are pretty good and hold shots well. There's some water but only a couple of traps. Par 60. I'm a 7 handicap and I shot 63. Range and practice green are just fine. Staff is great; professional and very friendly.

Great Value!

I am getting back into golf and this is a great course to reintroduce myself to the sport without breaking the bank. The course is short however that is for the better as it will force me to work my irons more. It is also close to my house and with the pace of play it's a great course to play on short notice. I will continue to frequent this course.

Good practice

If your a beginner or need to improve your short game this course is a great place.
Wide open with only a few obstacles. Large greens. A little wait on each hole due to a lot of par 3 and beginners still learning but 18 hole round stll only took 3.25 hrs.
