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.

Good value

Course was in pretty good shape. The rough could have used some work, but the fairways and greens were good. We played during a rainy day, so pretty much got the course to ourselves so I cannot comment on pace of play. The course is not the longest but has some challenging holes. Staff was very friendly and I would recommend if you are looking for a good value course.

Good value

All Sun City West courses are very good for the money. Trail Ridge has nice greens, good fairways and will require precise shots coming in to the greens.

Too many golfers

We were delayed for 30 minutes past our scheduled tee time and then they kept sending out golfers so rapidly that we had three groups on every hole.

Great!

Had never played here before but saw a hot deal on golf now so we gave it a try. Love the course even in the rain. we got 18 in in less than 4 hours probably because so few golfers with the wet weather but that was fine with us. Will definitely recommend this course!

Sun City West gem

Outstanding layout with excellent conditions from tee to green. Greens are perfect smooth no ball marks and quick. Greens are also quite large so practice your long lag putting. Played in 4 hours which for me is slow but mainly due to the twosome we were paired with. Would highly recommend this course and look forward to playing it again in the near future

great trak

This remains one of our favorite venues in the NW valley. Holes are interesting and there is some challenge to the layout with water in play on several holes. Pace of play was very good and we finished our round in a little over 4 hours. The course was in great shape; greens were fast and a bit tricky to read. We'll play it again.

Great day of golf.

Never played this course before but I will certainly be back. Having been in Arizona in July and golfed on really burnt out fairways and greens, this course was amazing. Fairways and greens were lush and green! What a wonderful experience.

Though course was closing on the 1st for overseeing, it was still in good shape. We got a hot rate so we zipped around in 2 1/2 hours, lovely! Great pro shop and very friendly.
