Worth the drive

Fantastic course in great shape with wonderful vistas. Challenging layout with a variety of holes. Some are tree lined others are more open with water, bunkers and cross fairway hazards. No 12 is a beautiful par 3. No 17 is a long par 5 through trees and elevation changes to an elevated green. 18 is a long par 3 down hill drop off of 100+ft. green is ringed by tress with a large trap in the left front. Hidden gem but worth the drive. Right off I40 west of Flagstaff.

good time

as a first time player on this course I was pleasantly surprised. The course was laid out in the the woods and then opened up on some holes for country side challenge. I got a hole in one on the second hole par 4 with a 272 yard drive. Lots of fun at this course and can't wait to play it again.

Pleasantly Suprised

I really enjoyed this course. Felt that it had a nice mixture of holes that required good club selection and shot placement and holes where you could grip it and rip it. Water came into play on a few holes, traps were strategically placed on many, and some wound their way through the forest. The course was well maintained and green throughout. Unfortunately when I played, the greens had been punched a week prior so they were not in optimum condition. But give them another 10-14 days and would probably be great. The only beef I would have, if you can call it that, was the lack of yardage markers. But all in all a great play for the price and would definitely play again.

great practice

played this course when we were in Williams for a few days. the course was closed for aerating for a couple of days and I played 2 days after so the greens were a bit rough. this course is nicely laid out and has some really great scenic views on many holes.

This course has awesome scenery

My wife and I played this course and found the conditions, layout, and the mountainous surroundings to be awesome. With the numerous elevation changes, fast greens, and nicely manicured greens/tees the course has its challenges. The one drawback is the course length for women. My wife, who is an average golfer, found the course to long and often times had difficulty reaching the fairway from the tee. It would be certainly a more enjoyable experience if the lady's yardage were shortened.
Other than that, this course will be a must play when we visit the Flagstaff area again.

In excellent shape!

I've played this course a number of times. Definitely worth the drive from Flagstaff. Better priced than any public courses in Flag, and in excellent condition. Tee boxes and fairways in great shape. Greens were in the best condition I've seen!

Rain rain go away

I made a tee time via GolfNow and was pleased with both the price and the course. We arrived at Elephant Rocks about an hour early, checked in with the Pro Shop, hit some balls, went to the putting green and about 11:00am we went over to the first tee and checked in with the starter. He stated that because some members wanted to take guests out to golf we would have to wait until those two (2) foursomes played first. We teed off around 11:35am
Already NOT a good sign.

We arrived at the eighth (8th) tee box at 1:40. It took more than two (2) hours to play seven (7) holes, making it a 5-6 hour round. The pace was extremely slow. Then the weather took a turn for the worse. Rain, thunder and lighting, oh my.

We opted to seek shelter and headed for the clubhouse. At times the rain was SO heavy that there was standing water on the fairways and a number of the greens had water running off of them.

We asked about a rain check or a refund. They told us that since we DID NOT make the reservation with them, they could not do anything and that we would have to check with you, GolfNow.com

I am waiting to hear from GolfNow then I'll write a true review.

It was nice to play somewhere cooler than Phoenix.

great course with up and down hill holes, a little water and a few bunkers. trees were the larger challenge when you stray from the fairway. the last hole is very exciting, huge drop!

Worth playing

This is the 1st time to play Elephant Rock this year and was disappointed with how dried out the course was. Normally it is really beautiful, so was surprised with the browness of the fairways. The green were verdicut.... and wooly....
However the staff are super great and very friendly.
Will play again later in the summer to see if the fairways have improved.

You'll never forget Elephant Rocks Golf Course

Where to get out of the desert heat and play golf this summer?? British Links style or mountain course??? Why not BOTH! The first few holes at Elephant Rocks reminds you that you are at roughly 7000 feet in elevation in Williams, AZ - and then as you start to thread the needle between the pine trees, you arrive at the meadow and the 9 links styles holes. As soon as you get used to the wide fairways, they take you back into the pine trees and large rocks (shaped like elephant ears) to test you accuracy off the tee box and your blind /uphill approach shots. 18 is a simple par 3, but the elevated green plays with your club selection as much as the scenic view draws your attention away from golf. Fortunately the pro shop is only a few steps from the green so making your next tee time is that easy.... Don't be surprised if you want to go back out after lunch at the grill. Enjoy.
