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.

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.

West valley hidden gem

Spent $50 on a 1:07PM tee time and didn’t expect much for that price this time of year, but boy was I wrong. The conditions of the fairways and greens rival the best east valley courses (I’ve played TPC and We-Ko-Pa in the last 2 weeks). Not a dead/dormant blade of grass on the fairways or greens. The rough is dormant (to be expected this time of year ) and there is plenty of waste area you can find off of the tee. Clubhouse, carts and facility are dated but you can find $3 beers, hot dogs and other snacks and drinks inside. Cheapest bucket of range balls I’ve found in years. If you are thinking about playing here….do yourself a favor and do it.

The course was in excellent condition

With the exception of some slow play created by the par 3s, I found the course to be quite enjoyable. The fairways and greens were an excellent shape along with a friendly staff and decent amenities such as chipping greens, putting greens and driving range.

Great layout & conditioning

Moderately-challenging modern design. Great greens & decent bunkers. A bit of a long-ish walk from green to tee in several cases.

Good course

The course was an excellent condition. The greens were challenging with lots of angulations. The course had more than average water holes, which provided the average golfer with many challenges to play was above average, and Course staff was very friendly. Sounds
