Verrado Golf Club - Founders Course

From tee to green the course is in great shape for summer. I was surprised at the turn around as I played in early spring and it was terrible. Not anymore! Yes, there are a few burnt spots, but those are mostly in the rough not the fairways or greens. I see they have also added GPS to the cart. They are nice and have touch screen option so you can see distances to obstacles. The ONLY issue was a group of very slow 4-some with no course etiquette that would not let faster players through. Even though they could see golfers stacking up behind them they would slowly stroll back to their cart after finishing a hole kind of passive aggressively on purpose. No one cares if you are thinking you are playing on time. If you are causing a back up behind you then YOU ARE PLAYING TOO SLOWLY. Let faster players through. When golfers that started over an hour after you catches up to your group on the front 9 YOU ARE PLAYING SLOW!!!! I started nearly 2 hours AFTER you and caught the log jam at hole 8. To end on a high note, they did have a beverage cart out in the heat.

The pace of play was a bit slow because a foursome decided to play 36 and inserted themselves. Other than that it was a very fun round. The course is tough but what course is not tough for an 81 year old. Still, I played well and had a great time. The only hole I found kind of crazy is the uphill monster on the back 9, made even more difficult with 10 yards of false front so you find your excellent shot from 145 yards rolled back 30 yards (so, not so ecellent).

Paid $80 for a Friday round. Course was in great shape. Greens were rolling nice, fairways played like a $300 green fee. Love the layout. Great views - and as an Arizona resident, I’m used to these views. Better views than most courses in the Valley. Friendly staff. For the price, it’s probably the best value I’ve found in the Valley. Definitely going back.

We have played this course a number of times and always enjoyed ourselves. We were a twosome and the ranger who met us on the driving range got us out earlier than our scheduled t-time. It took us just three hours to play. Course was in pretty good condition considering the time of year. Fairways were wide which is helpful if you spray the ball off the tee. We saw the beverage cart person a number of times which was nice in the hot conditions. Definitely recommend this course to fellow golfers.

Great staff and course in excellent condition. Pace of play was 3 1/2 hours for a threesome. Tough course narrow but again everything was excellent.

Kept up great the only bad thing was they just sanded the greens so the were fast

Poor fairways

Poor rough

Poor tee boxes

It’s going to be a bad summer at this place.

The layout of this course is nice, however the fairways were burned in places and the pace of play was real slow. Tough to have a slow round in the Arizona heat, hopefully the course can move along groups more effectively as this particular day it didnt work at all.
