Beautiful views.

Had a 1040 start time. The views were beautifull. Golf course was in good shape... Unfortunately the pace of play was very slow. We got logjammed at the 9th and it continued for the rest of the course. Price wise it was fair.

Elephant Rocks

First time playing this course and it chewed me up and spit me out. Extremely long holes and a lot of up and downs. I play in Phoenix a majority of the time and those flat courses will be much easier now after playing E.R. Beautiful setting, the course was in great shape and was treated to an abundance of wild life. I hope you do not mind crows because there seems to be a lot of them. Would recommend to any one with a certain amount of game, this course is not for beginners. Had lunch in the club house and the food was very good and the wait staff very cordial.

SCOTT IS THE MAN

This is a very nice course that I play twice a week. It is challenging with water and width that will keep you alert. Plenty of width to find the wayward shots as well. Played on 11/1/16 with a scratch golfer that was retired and just traveled around golfing. He enjoyed the course very much and had a good time even as he put up with me.

The real gem out there is the PGA guy Scott. Scott has always been very nice and helpful. Not enough good can be said about him as I wish all pro-shops had guys like him.

Williams Golf Getaway

I usually only get to Elephant Rocks once a year living in Phoenix, but wanted to get there and play once more before they close or it gets too cold. The course was in great shape as it has always been when I've played. One of my favorites in Arizona...just beautiful.

a golf oasis

Who knew!? Took my sticks on a camping trip to Williams just in case there was time for golf. What a pleasant surprise this course was.

The greens are nearly perfect and fast, fairways are lush. Overall the course is pretty short but it has its moments, the par 5 17th is just a mean(but fun) hole from tee to green, the par 3's are really nice from the tips. Quality sand around the greens should you land there.

My one complaint; speed. At one point we had 4 groups on 1 hole and no marshal anywhere cracking the whip.(he was there, just not being very assertive, note to the manager please a mean marshal out there!)

The staff was terrific, very friendly and helpful.

It's a 'down-homey' no frills kind of place with gravel driveway and cart paths but I'd play it every day if I could.

Sand covered greens

Coming in from Phoenix, I called ahead two days before to make sure the course didn't have any alerts and that there weren't any issues with the course conditions. They lied and said that it was in fantastic condition, there were no problems, and there would be no scheduled maintenance any time soon. I golf there 2 days later and the greens were covered in sand. Terrible, I wish they would have just been honest and saved me a long drive.

Nice weather

It was good to get out of the heat in the valley and head up to Williams for the cooler weather. Beautiful setting in the pines. The fairways and greens were immaculate. Pace of play was ok. Pretty straightforward layout with a few challenging holes. Staff was great and the marshall helped move things along. Would certainly recommend.

Best Value in AZ

Elephant Rocks is worth the trip north. Our group makes the drive from PHX to Williams several times a year to play this course. One of the best "muni" courses you'll find anywhere. Great staff, Great Weather, Really Great Golf Course....what else can you ask for? Oh yeah, Great Value

We enjoyed this course. The staff was so helpful, the restaurant served fabulous food, and the course itself was challenging, well marked and well kept. Please don't tell anybody about this course, it is our little secret.
