Best Course Value in the Desert

Staff is always friendly

Tee Boxes flat, fairways good shape

Greens make you think about your putts

If you’re not in the fairways then you are going to work on getting to the greens. Enjoyable playing.

I wouldn't call it a resort course

It's not a bad golf course, just that it seems more like it should be an average municipal course.

The course was alright, but rough in some spots.

Just not what I would expect for a "resort" course and at that price.

Course conditions

You seriously need to work on your tee boxes,example no place to throw your tees in. Tee box's were basically dead grass. And your greens from 30 yards in are embarrassing. You need a no cart zone in front of the aprons about 30 yards out. Divots on the greens were out of control. Maybe a sign to fix all divots on greens. I would recommend sand cannister in carts or on tee boxes to use after teeing off. Fairways were nice. More water around the greens and on. Don't break an ankle on those golfer holes..

save your money.

I was really excited about playing this course since someone in Phoenix recommended it several years ago. Looking at the website, the course looks beautiful with green grass fairways and luscious greens. These pictures must have been taken years ago because the course never looked anything like the pictures. the fairways are hard as rocks and the greens just as hard and fast. keeping the ball in play is required because if you miss the fairways, your ball is probably on hard dirt, not desert sand. My recommendation would be to save your money (and travel time) and play elsewhere. P.S. The Barros pizza in Casa Grande is Great.

Neglected Course

Greens were inundated with duck crap, grass clippings and ball marks. Lots of bare spots on fairways. Wouldn’t play here again even for free.

Foggy Morning

We were the first ones out in the morning .The course was very wet from watering and it was foggy. we still enjoyed our round as the course was open and easier to play. Just what we were looking for. I would definitely recommend this course as it is very forgiving.
