Verrado Golf Club - Founders Course

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.

The course has many challenging holes, and if you are a senior, good player, you need to have a larger legend sheet with trouble featured, with distances from each tee to the hazard area, or trees/traps, and distance remains. Also show distance necessary to carry the hazard. An example, on hole 2, the left side danger blindly juts out to the middle of the fairway. My best drive went up y the right side and drew perfectly back to the middle of the fairway (not visible), and my perfect drive was in hazard area. A detailed booklet would be great to have, and if you do have them, your staff at the counter should suggest purchasing one. I will be back again as I like the course.

I've played this course quite a few times and have never been disappointed until yesterday. Course was very dry and fairways and greens not in the best shape yet. Hopefully they'll get this sorted out soon.

I played well so, the course is always better. when that happens. I liked the layout. could be very tough from the tips. I play the whites and enjoyed my two birdies. greens putted very good. fast and true. looked dried out. but worked like they were green.

They should have just closed the founders course as I'm assuming they're getting ready to aerate but no, they decided to grab a little more $ and not disclose that there was sand everywhere...practice tee, no grass....60% of the fairways and approaches to greens nothing but tight tight lies and sand, grees so dry I didn't repair a ball mark all day. To their credit, the afternoon price was great, but you have got to put out some type of disclosure before taking an avid golfers $....I was really looking forward to playing there as it's always been in great condition, but this was appalling.

Of all the courses I've been able to play in the West Valley, Founder's is at the top of the list. Great terrain changes and vistas. Still has an open rural feeling to it, as most of the holes don't have homes on them, and the ones that do are large custom homes. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Only issue is can be crowded and especially in the winter rounds can take 5+ hours. In the summer not an issue...

I love the courses, the narrow and challenging fairways,

The challenge of distance and obstacles not to mention the amazing surroundings of AZ , the mountains and Desert Cactus.

Well kept beautiful course . I’m ac booking another as we speak.

Great work Verrado Golf Team

Started with lunch in the restaurant, top notch and reasonable.

Starter, Marshall, beverage staff were great. Greens were drying out, expected for beginning of summer. Traps were good, pace was excellent.

Thanks staff at Founders for the great experience, worth the 55 minute drive.

Great course, greens were dry and lightening fast, look forward to our next round!

Most finicky greens today, very fast and challenging. Good round had by all.

Hate the 13th hole - always have. It is totally "Mikey Mouse". The greenskeeper who set the hole position on 13, on Thursday must have a very dark sense of humor. Nobody in our group was able to finish the whole. Our group was all accomplished golfers on Thursday, with handicaps ranging from 2 to 15. It ruined all of our rounds.

Other than that, I love the course, but I can't recommend it based on the 13th hole alone.
