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.

Friendly members

Course was a little tight but not crazy. Forgiving enough on miss hits. Greens not huge but easy to hit. Fairways and greens immaculate. Hardly a divot on the fairway as members look after their divots. Easy to walk. Not many powercarts to rent so be prepared to walk. I would golf here again.

Nice layout

Trail Ridge is a fun course with good conditions. Not overly hard, but also challenging enough for any golfer. The grass is in good shape from tee to green. Bunkers have decent sand. Pace of play was very slow on the front 9, but picked up on the back. We didn’t think we’d get 18 holes finished, as we started at 2:52, but we just finished 18 as it was getting dark. Got a pretty deal on GolfNow.

Trail Ridge - Great Value - But Horrible Pace of Play

Really liked the course, its conditions were really good. But, Pace of play was AWFUL - the players assistant guy was useless and twice he decides to drive in my line of play as i am preparing to tee off and in fact almost got hit. He was friendly but clueless on how to do his job - which is keep players on pace and 2nd Stay out of the way of golfers.

1ST TIME PLAYING

Pace of play shameful

Teed off at 1am it was 101 outside playing as a single a twosome in their own carts out in front of me never asked me to play though after 3 hours and 12 holes i gave up skipped holes and finished round. Gentlemen inside nice to start out however stated I couldnt tee off and would need to be called to the tee nothing about this course makes sense. This is the typical sun city cringeworthy experience people who have no golf ettiquite dont respect anyone who plays their golf course. Never ever ever go back.

Excellent option for something other than a desert course

Loved the layout. Plenty of challenge to finding the correct landing target off the tee, and greens offer subtle breaks but fair challenge.

Very friendly staff, with a modest 'luncheonette' style option for eating. Beer is available for purchase. Easy access from the 303.

Will be playing here regularly through the summer.

Great course- great value!

I played this course for the first time as part of a foursome. Pace of play was good- we finished right at 4 hours. The course has a number of challenging holes but overall would play fairly had not the wind been blowing. Although only visiting this area for a short time, I will likely play this course again, and would recommend it to anyone. One additional note- the address listed on Golfnow is for Hillcrest, so check the correct address before driving to it.

course was in good shape. Pin placements were difficult, greens were slow, sand traps have no sand in them making them very hard to play. overall average course.

Bunkers

Bunkers were in terrible condition, hard as the cart path. They looked like they had been raked, sand needs to be added. So lesson learned, stay out of the bunkers.

Also appears there is a drainage problem or irrigation lines were leaking.

Sun City West's Best

Course was pretty empty for our scheduled 1 pm tee time so we were able to tee off 15 minutes early. Greens had been punched week before and the course had been open for maybe 5 days but the greens still ran a little slower than normal. We played in less than 3 1/2 hours as a twosome. Have played the course​ multiple times and enjoy the layout. Generous fairways and straightforward greens make it a forgiving course for good scoring.

With ease

Staff person was very accommodating, and let me know who was going to be in my group. Asked me if I needed to know anything about the course, and having played it before needed nothing. Clean facilities out on the course, and well kept up.
