Course marshall

The course marshall was friendly, engaging and helpful. Played in 3hr 45min. No push or pull in play. Some exciting holes. Drove up solely to escape the desert oven and well worth the trip.

Elephant Rocks

The course is beautiful and I love the layout.

However, it seemed to be over watered. I had 4 balls plug in the fairway and in front of the green. Also they are having a wasp and yellow Jacket problem. We were constantly swarmed throughout our round and my wife was stung by a Tarantula Wasp while sitting the cart right in front of the pro shop. The foursome in front of us was also under attack from the stinging pests. They really need to address this issue as it really devalued our round.

Nice, fun course

We drove three hours to play this course and we were not disappointed. It did help that we played with someone who had played there before, just for tips on some of the hole layouts. Greens were great. Will for sure go play again.

Mountain Air

It's been over 10 years since last playing this course...I have no idea why it's taken so long to get back. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are all in great shape. Greens roll smooth, fairways allow the opportunity to strike the ball clean, ( not that I do ), and the Tee boxes aren't torn up....Played this course twice in 3 days and enjoyed both rounds...The staff was very pleasant and just added to the fun......Stay outta the ROUGH!

Forest golf at 7000 ft.

Really expansive beautiful course with some challenging holes, especially on the front 9. Great greens putted true, lush fairways, tough local fescue for the rough. I'll definitely return when in the area. If you're going to the Grand Canyon, make sure to take a little detour to Williams, AZ and this golf course!

Great course

Played on a weekday afternoon. Not very crowded. Would have finished in 3 hours except for the multi-group stack up starting on 16.

Coming from Phx, this was a pretty easy day trip. The course is in great shape, not too expensive and a nice layout. I could easily be content to play here every day.

Beautiful layout but slowww

The course is beautiful. The greens roll great, the fairways are thick and full. Its a gorgeous golf course. Great layout and I really liked the par 3s. Fun and challenging. The pace of play was just dreadful, I had a tee time at 9:40 and groups of 4 were teeing off on top of each other from about 9am onward. Essentially, there was a wait on every shot and tee box. I lost my patience after 14 holes and called it a day. No starter or ranger throughout the day. I would make the trek back up from the valley to play it again though. Hopefully it’s a quicker round next go around.
