Elephant Rocks GC

Visiting Flagstaff and wanted to play neighboring public courses; unfortunately played in 25 mph winds in 67 degree temps. It was miserable so it's really hard to rate this course properly. Tee boxes are nice (only 3 of them), fairways are average, bunkers are ok, and greens are fairly consistent (medium fast). Cart paths are rocks and bumpy. Pace is slow, but a foursome let us play through. Layout is strange, with back nine a totally different track. Very long and short par 4s and a few long par 3s from the White Tees. Finishing holes 17 and 18 are terrific to play. Will play again for sure in better conditions.

Great round

Elephant rocks is always well maintained and greens are always up to par. Half the price of Continental and twice the fun. If your willing to drive a measly half hour, your in for a treat. Don't waste time in Flagstaff. Even Munds park is better than Continental. Drive for the drive!

Fun course to play

Staff greeted well. Noted to us that there was no beverage service on the course so ordered a couple of brews to go. They put them on ice in a carrier! Wife and I played with a couple of locals. Played in three and a half hours. Nice setting. Few trees. Fairways are wide. You should play this course!!!!

Excellent course excellent value

First time up here and will definitely recommend to friends played late in the year and was surprised to see such excellent course conditions. From Chandler Arizona and being a time of year most courses are overseedin I was excited to have the opportunity to play. Staff was very friendly and got me and my buddy right out onto the course. Will definitely return if I'm back in the area.

Fantastic Change of Pace

If you're tired of constantly hunting for a ball in the desert and scuffing new irons up or just looking for a place where EVERYTHING is green, then look no further than Elephant Rocks. I was pointed here over a local Prescott course by another area course pro and this did not disappoint. While it was not an overly long course, it still required us to hit shots off of all sorts off of varyious lies in the fairways. The fairways themselves placed the ball on a tee each time we were in it...not one person in my foursome ever complained about the fairway. The rough, while long and penalizing, still allowed us to take a shot at the green provided we missed on the correct side of the fairway as the pine trees lining the outside of the rough lines would come into play. I cannot say enough about the greens...they rolled very true and had good pace to them, but would we had no problems holding long irons or hybrids if going for Par5's in two. The beverage cart was out and about very regularly and the marshall even made a point to stop by and comment how beautiful of a day it was and that we essentially had the course to ourselves. Everyone from the gentleman in the pro shop through to the marshall and beverage cart exhibited a high degree of customer service that only further increased our group's experience and satisfaction with making the drive north. I will absolutely be back over the next couple of weeks.

A Real Gem

Great course and in fantastic shape. Greens are some of the best in Arizona. They are quick but not lightning fast and putt true. Fairways are excellent and cut at a good height. First cut of rough is approximately 1-1/2 so good shots can be made. Second cut is at approx. 2-1/2 so care must be taken when trying to recover. Sand traps were all prepped and drag and had good sand to allow recovery. We played in 3-1/2 hours at a leisurely pace behind a foursome and in front of another twosome. A truly enjoyable round of golf and we will return next year.

Great course for the price

I golfed this course with my 7 yr old son, he rode along but did not play. We were also with my buddy and his 10 yr old son who also just rode along. We were paired with another couple who were great.
The course was in great shape and was a good combination of difficulties. I would recommend it for any skill level.
The staff, well, thats where things could be improved. Mainly it was just one guy in the office, wish I remembered his name. Quite frankly, he was a jerk. Luckily, there was another guy in the clubhouse when we checked in, who took over and was super friendly and very accommodating. After talking with other regulars at the course, it sounds like this is a known issue. Hopefully they find a replacement because other than him, we had a great experience.
Also, we got down with our round around 5:30 and the clubhouse/bar was already closed, which was kind of a bummer. I believe there might have been a special event going on, a wedding maybe, so maybe thats why.
Overall, a great course, great deal and if I'm in Williams again I'll definitely play it again. I'll just avoid "the jerk".

Terrible Staff Courtesy

This guy who was playing in front of us yelled and screamed at us for going around the wrong way to the bathroom in the cart. Started yelling and screaming at the group in front of him for I do not know what. I flagged down a ranger to tell him about this guy and was told THIS GUY WORKS THERE AS A RANGER and does that while he plays.

Terrific greens in a cool mountain location

We started play late in the morning - tempting fate in the summer where afternoon showers come often. And indeed we had to stop twice in rain shelters (the course has a lot of them!)

The course itself is quite playable although many of the holes lack imagination. Have your cellphone camera ready for the tee box at 18 though.

The greens were in perfect shape and rolled about as true as I've ever seen. Props to the greens keepers for them.

Great course

Really nice course not too far from flagstaff. The day we played it was terribly windy and the pin locations were ugly. It was a real mental and physical test. Pin placements were for a scamble tournament.

Stuch in a Scramble

Drove up from Sedona and arrived early. Was upcharged for being early then stuck in mens scramble. Cups placed in stupid spots on the greens to accommodate the scramble. Took 5.5 hrs to play the round. Wont go back.
