Greens have seen better days.

The course is good and we always enjoy playing it but some of the greens need some TLC.

Throwback 1960’s Golf Course !

Enjoyed my first experience at this Throwback 1960’s Golf Course . Played from the Back Tee’s (7,500 yds) which is the longest in the state of AZ. No Room for error from here. Course conditions could be improved, but the price of admission is reasonable for what you get including New Carts ! Be sure to visit the Restaurant “Dukes” before or after your round !

Windy

Played here twice this week and very windy both times. Fairways are dry and hard. Greens hard and fast. The course is "AVERAGE" and what you would expect for the price. Do wish they had a marshall as 3 older men in front of us were playing Blue tees and hitting driver 150 yds. All 6 of their "over water" P3 shots were wet! Talked to foursome behind us and they said "no problem, they would just pace behind us!

Awful

Tee boxes and fairways are dirt, greens are ok on most holes , the only good thing was the pace of play considering it was busy but I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money playing here.

Good Value

Course has a fun layout and pace was good. Nice warmup area and a friendly staff. Only downside was no beverage cart on the course. Ramada bar at the turn was ok but it does impact the pace when starting the back 9.

needs some TLC

Played this course for the third time this year and there is some improvement each time we play there. It's a great layout with some very interesting holes and some undulation. The par three's are all pretty good. The fairways are a bit spotty and the greens have some patches but it has dried out from what it was a few weeks ago. There are lots of gopher holes. Lost a ball in one this round! For the price this time of year its a good deal. Hope they keep up the improvements.

Should be in better shape this time of year

Overall we enjoy playing here and the price is great considering the exorbitant winter rates charged at other Phoenix area courses. The staff are super friendly. Our main beef is with the overall course conditions. The greens were mostly rock hard and many of the fairways were scant. They should consider paying closer attention to the course conditions.
