Deer Valley Golf Course at Sun City West
Rating Snapshot
About
Deer Valley Golf Course offers a challenging game that will test golfers of all skill levels. The course has a beautiful rolling terrain with over 800 palm trees sprinkled throughout, providing a nice landscape but they can also affect shots since they border nearly all of the greens on the golf course. There are also sand bunkers that guard some of the greens, which are large, undulating, and oftentimes difficult to read. In addition, five of the greens are double-tiered. Ten ponds are situated on the course, coming into play on five holes. There are also some dogleg fairways to add to the difficulty at Deer Valley.

Great day
Great day Nice to have a Arizona course with shade on every hole great value greens in great shape could've been a little bit softer to hold the ball would like to see a refreshment cart played from the tips and Done in three hours
First time at course
Course was in good shape. Could use a little more watering on the green but we are in a desert. Staff was great and price was awesome.
Day at the beach
Classic Sun City course in good condition. The brilliant white sand bunkers are so nice you almost don't mind when you get in them. A bit short from the white tees, blues are a good challenge.
Great experience
Great facilities
Good value
Course is in great shape after maintenance.
Only issue was the group behind us kept hitting into us. Given that the round was under 4 hours, this behavior was inexcusable. Wish they had a Marshall on the course
Would recommend
Perfect
It was pouring rain everywhere, monsoons in Phoenix, but Sun City lives up to its name, 90 and a breeze. A good challenge and enjoyable day !
Thankx,
Rodd Stowell
great sand traps
very good will play again,only problem no cold water on course not good
Fun track
This is a really great course to play in the summer while it's only 15 bucks for non residents. The pro shop can sometimes be unwelcoming to outsiders and especially younger people but you are on,y there long enough to pay and get a cart key. The course is a fun layout with a combination of long and short holes. Greens are a little slow usually but the course is in good shape for August. If you hit it well here you can score well. The 18th is a great finishing hole especially with a back hole location. Give it a try during the summer when it's cheap and empty and you will be glad you did!
Great track
great track , very well maintained and enjoyable to play for all. The staff and other golfers were all very friendly Wide fairways and big greens and nice bunkjers made this am enjoyable round
Excellant condition
I rated the course condition as good, but for time of year I would say it is excellent. The fairways are in very good condition, and the greens putt true even if they would be rated a little slow, It was a fun day .
Great condition this time of year
Best sand in the area. The course was in great condition considering the heat at this time of the year.
First time
The course was in nice condition. We were especially pleased with the bunkers...real sand, not the miserable hard pan that most courses have that do a number on your clubs.
Nice experience
Very good condition. Only saw one other player. And the layout - the course goes in a large circle - was unique.
This course is beautifully maintained.
The course was absolutely beautiful. The greens were pristine.
Very nice course
Identical facilities to all SCW golf courses so if you know one facility, you are right at home. Water can be a player on several holes but only if you are hitting bad shots. Sand traps are appropriately placed to make you think about your shots. Overall excellent experience and the staff is as friendly as can be found anywhere. 78 degrees with clear skies which has been the case here for the last three months. Perfect winter golf.
Vacationing Golfer
Went as a single, paired with three others, good, nice people.
Staff extremely professional. no complaints from me.
Course was in very good shape, play was fast and pleasurable.
Being from Chicago, and visiting Phoenix in Feb., how can I have any complaints!
Would play course again.
Golfnow has a Great deal on this track.
Value
Had a friend in for the PHX Open and we played golf here Saturday. Great day and value. He played Friday at a course in the east valley for over a hundred dollars.....
deer valley
Fairways and tee boxes very good
Greens were very nice, rolled smooth
Nice layout
Course was fun to play and it was a reasonable value. I would play it again and would recommend it to others.
Short, but a great value
I would suggest playing the back tees here. We played it with some friends yesterday, and the white tees resulted in a multitude
of very short iron shots into quite large greens. While this resulted in a fine score and ego-boost, we shall play the back tees next time (and there will be one of those soon, guaranteed!). The course could do themselves quite a favor and upgrade the clubhouse area, unless you like hot dogs & light beer as about your only options after the round.
especially great for an afternoon round
the course was in great shape, the pace of play was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. An added bonus for December is that in the last 2 holes do not face west.
