Tough course

Pretty difficult course because it's long and narrow.

Fair ways need work but greens are in great shape.

Played here 4 times in last two weeks

It’s got interesting holes mostly surrounded by homes and big trees. Greens are good, fairways are a mix of good and sparse. Had a good twilight rate with not a lot of other golfers around.

Somewhat Disappointed

Fairways and most greens were in decent shape. However tee boxes and cart paths are in need of work. There was extensive rain 2 days prior to my round and the ground was still saturated in places. Houses are much too close to fairways and greens on some parts of the course. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Winter was hard on Show Low courses

Fairways were patchy in a lot of places.

Greens were plush and well rooted

Tees were iffy. This is after a good monsoon rain.

That 18th hole is a bear.

Terrible Cart Paths

Cart Paths are full of pot holes and bumps. Don't play here if you have a bad back. First 5 or 6 holes are in pretty bad shape. The final 12 holes are pretty nice except for the cart paths.

Wonderful Course

This course was outstanding. The staff was great, Diego in the pro shop and Josie in the restaurant were great. Course was beautiful, great value for the money.

My one word of advice is I ordered food at the bar after 9, there is NOT a turn. No one said there was, I was just silly there but word of caution.

Bison review

Course conditions were reasonably good. the front was a little thin but the back was well-groomed. Greens overall were nice. The cart paths were a little dodgy, four-wheel drive required in some places.

BIG Improvement.

Played this course 3 weeks ago and it was in 'terrible condition.' The check in person who was very professional advised that they just hired a new course superintendent and has made some effort to make the golf course better.

I couldn't believe my eyes cause the course really in pretty good shape, showing signs of improvement and was very pleased. I shall return within the next few weeks and play again.

BIG IMPROVEMENT,HIGHLY APPRECIATED AND RECOMMENDED.
