Great Experience
The greens are almost unfair, so fast. First time rounds will want to come back for revenge. Knowing the course layout is key to a good score.
Course Management Inept
The course is nice and had a great setting. Sadly, the speed of the greens bordered ridiculous and limited most pin placements to only small, isolated areas of each green. The remainder of the greens were simply unusable and unplayable. Will not play this course again, nor would I recommend it to anyone else in this condition. Inept course management.
As golf should be....FUN!
Friendly staff, great conditions and a quick round too! Greeted by friendly staff and courteous staff! We were told the greens were running at 12 to 13 and they were.....glass like but very true!
The course was so much fun. Tight, tight tee shots to small undulating greens. Plenty of birdies to be had but also many dropped shots. If you were on wrong side of hole it was going to be tough. From the low side putts were makeable.
GREAT FUN on the course and in the restaurant and bar afterwards. Thanks to everyone at the club. we will be back!
Great greens good course
1st time playing this course
The course itself is in nice condition it does however have an odd lay out
As it winds aimlessly through the old and newer parts of the housing community that has been built around it. It plays well but hard to give it an identity as some fairways are tree lined and super tight and others are wide open sometimes you feel secluded in the woods and others times your in the yards of houses that line the fairway. Again the course plays well and the greens we' re excellent, very fast and took
a few holes to realize that even though the very undulating and sloped greens didn't have much break due to the speed ,maybe an 11 on the stimp
F A S T greens!
There were some bare spots & wet spots in the fairway, but all in all in great shape. Greens were beautiful & QUICK!!! I would play there again.
My gps took me to the villas not golf course.. being we only play 9 they had to send someone to take us back to our car.. that was totally not doable on our own..

Nice course layout, narrow but plays long. Loved the greens FAST and true.
not worth the effort
Too bad I can't give it no stars. Pro shop staff was very nice. Course conditions were one step up from a cow pasture. Green conditions were very fast but did not putt true. Gopher mounds in fairways. No course marshal so pace of play is whatever the locals wanted to allow. Would not recommend.
First time around and will be back!
Wanted to play a nice course in the Show Low area and this one qualifies. Had a bit of a hard time figuring out how far to hit it on some of the holes so distance is a key factor. Lots of holes require a pretty straight tee shot. Driver is not always the club off the tee. Greens were very nice...receptive to shots and very goo putting speed. The pine scent is all around you as you one plays this course. I will be back again, now that I have some local knowledge.
Always love playing but greens are slick
Course is always in wonderful condition. Be prepared though the greens are fast fast fast. Not always receptive of approaches from the fairway as they can skip right off. With this being said I can’t wait to come back and play another round.
Hidden Gem
Played Bison golf club early in the morning course itself was in pretty good shape. But I have to rave about the putting greens they were some of the best greens EVER! My congratulations to the grounds staff for their efforts!!
Nice course but tight
Nice course tucked in amongst the trees and a LOT of houses. Some of the fairways are very narrow. Course was in good shape.
Playing through the pines.
What a great course for the money. It is beautiful playing through the tall pine trees. Many elevation changes throughout the course. Felt very welcome from the time we checked in, through the starter, and when we finished. Considering this has been a private course for members which is now open to the public, made us feel as welcome as one of the members.
