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 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.

Fun time

Arrived at course and found staff friendly. Was paired with another player and within 5 minutes we were at our first tee. Course fairways and rough in very nice shape. The traps had soft sand and the greens were fast and undilating. Would advise to get a cooler with ice and beverages(water, Powerade, Gatorade, etc). Had a great time and would recommend this course for it's condition, staff friendlyness, value.

Good first time

Very pleased with the first time playing here. Staff was very friendly. Tee boxes and fairways were very good. Grass was thick. Greens also good, held shots reasonably well and putted true. A little slow but expected that this time of year. Snack was open after
4pm which is not always true. Good variation of holes and challenging but will not beat you up. Glad I played and will play again.

Wanna have fun?

OK, everybody knows Sun City West is hard to get to, takes forever and isn't scenic. I still think Trail Ridge is a most enjoyable golf course, and I'll keep looking for the northwest passage to make getting there tolerable.

Why? Billy Casper. Really nice greens. Interesting holes that don't leave you feeling beaten with a 2 by 4. But you can lose a ball there and be in jail. It's all a matter of taste, but I like to feel like if I play well I can score well, and I do at this course. The clubhouse has "muni" written all over it so if it's chic you want go elsewhere. Decent driving range and near-empty parking lot because most patrons drive their golf carts over. But remember: it's about the golf course, and golf is golf. Leave your comfort zone. Take a chance.

Nice course, Good value

Course is in nice shape. Greens are hard, but that seems to be the norm for most courses in the area. Fairways are well kept, but sand traps have very little sand. All in all a great value.

Lots of hazards

Sand traps were very thin, hardly any sand at all, a lot maintenance roads parrallel the course and end up coming into play because fairways "fall off " toward the boundaries. Water not marked or noted on scorecards.

Fun course

Played at 1:30pm. Course was in great condition for being late September. Hot deal for $9, could not go wrong. $2 range balls for medium size bucket was a bargain as well.
