Trail Ridge Golf Course offers a good game on a truly desert landscape. Built on mostly flat terrain, the course can be walked but there are some holes that are quite hilly. Ponds situated throughout the golf course create water hazards that come into play on six holes. There are some elevated tees and greens as well as strategically placed sand bunkers to add further challenges. Four sets of tee boxes ensure that golfers of all skill levels and abilities will enjoy the course. The Trail Ridge Golf Course facility also features practice facilities including a putting green and chipping area and there is also a fully stocked pro shop.

Challenging Course

This course has plenty of challenges. Besides the normal bunker and water hazards, expect greens to be relatively difficult to hold a wedge shot unless you really sky it. It played very slow as this was the last day of a 4 day men's challenge tournament. I wasn't aware of this or I would not have played this course on this day.

Fun Course to Play

This was the second time playing Trail Ridge. It was very windy, so that made the course tougher. The fairways and greens were in great shape, but the ground was very hard. It was very difficult to land on the green and stop the ball.

There were 2groups ahead of us slowing. We had 4groups waiting for them on par 3 n 4s.

MARSHELL came buy n admitted that there was no one in front of this group. He would not do anything n drove off.

I feel if I pay for 18 holes I should have time to finish course we started early to give us time to finish

Bad real bad

Not family friendly

The range ball dispenser rips you off. If you purchase a full bucket which is supposed to be 60 balls you get 40. The first batch it gives you is ~ 30 balls, the second batch is ~10. None of the other SCW courses do this. My friend brought his grandkids to ride in the cart while we played golf. I was walking so we had room for the grandkids. He expected to pay a riders fee. We have done this at other courses in the area and it was no problem. This course told him he had to pay FULL price for golf for both kids under 12 and the cart fee on top. When he asked why he was told it was a policy and that "someone" had complained. How does charging kids under 12 full price fix someone's complaint? They are not playing golf. Seems to me this course just rips you off as a policy. We will not be returning ever. Too many other courses that treat you fairly.

Good value

Fairways and greens in excellent shape, rough very spotty. Play a little slow 4:20 min for round. No memorable holes, most fairly straight and no elevation changes. Mostly wide fairways. Some water on a few holes. Got great price on golfnow and would play again

Very nice course

It was the first time I played Trail Ridge and I was impressed. The course was in very good shape and it had some challenging holes. It seemed like most of the greens were almost mounded, so if you didn't hit in the middle of the green, the balled rolled off. And the grass was short so there was nothing there to keep the ball on the side of the green. It usually rolled all the way down to the hard pan. The greens were fast and rolled smooth.

Great value for this time of year

Trail ridge is a great walking course.

Had a frost delay that got things backed up, nothing the course could do. They managed it very well.

Pace was a little slow, this course plays fast just got stuck behind a a slow group.

Overall course conditions were good, greens were a little bumpy. But for $47 walking, can’t beat it.

Nice sun city west course - great staff

Course was in very good shape- from tees to greens.

Pace was very good - didn’t have to wait on any of the holes.

Staff a clubhouse was very professional and cordial.

Would definitely play again.

Only downside is $16 per player for a cart.
