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.

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.

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.

Everything I thought and more..

Great course; read a lot of reviews saying it is narrow and some holes can be, but for the most part is a pretty straight straight forward course. Being from the valley, throughly enjoyed the pined lined fairways.

Somewhat challenging layout

Hit em straight, or watch your score balloon! Very nice greens, pretty fast, and in excellent condition. Tee boxes and fairways were just ok. #18 is the toughest hole on the course in my opinion. My only gripe is getting from one hole to another is a location challenge. Cart paths are suitable for ATVs, less so for golf carts. All in all, fun track.
