Hotel with history behind it!! Photo submitted by Shypoke55 on 04/22/2019
Good condition
Only the second week open since over seeding. Greens a little slow and bumpy but not too bad. Early tee time and there were some wet areas from watering but would be fine latter in the day. Overall course is in decent playing condition. I expect it to be much better in a couple of weeks. Food and drinks available at the turn.
This course is in recovery
Course recently overseeded. Rough areas were extremely high and wet in many places. Greens were hairy with a lot of seed still on them. Fairways were okay but not well groomed.
Course needs a little work
The layout of the course is nice. The staff is always friendly. They need consistency on the snack bar. A week ago Wednesday we got snacks and drinks at the turn and this last Wednesday it was closed.
The course is filling in nicely but it needs to be trimmed up better.
Good value a ways from phoenix
Course is just coming out of overseeing. Fairways are long and greens were patchy and long. Still had a blast. Played the back nine twice as a single in 1 hour and 50 minutes while playing through 2 groups.
Staff was very friendly and the course design is interesting very small greens that test your approach shots.
End of overseed
Course was in pretty good shape due to overseeding, the greens were a little long and slow
A little out there but nice course
Course was about 30 minutes from Maricopa. The layout is not bad. Some challenging holes. Couldn’t drive on the fairways and had to stop to car oaths only. Greens were decent but had a few ones that had trenches it seemed. Course was forgiving in some holes as there was wide fairways.
PROS
Decent price
Decent fairways and greens
Pace of play was good
CONS
Mosquitos are deadly
Pricey snacks
At the time, the grass was very long and uncut
Horrible conditions
Nice layout in the middle of nowhere. Could be good, needs a lot of work. The worst conditioned course I’ve played in recent memory.
Suprisingly good shape for first week open and not a mud bog.
I play there often and this year might be their best shape even better than last. Will be glad when not cart path only though as it's a long course.
Just Don't
Don't waste your time. This is a catfish, it looks nothing like the photos. Sprinklers were turned on 5 of the tees so I couldn't play those holes. The holes I did get to play I want too impressed. If you live in the Phoenix area don't waste your time you can find a better, cheaper, and closer course.
Francisco Grande
Good value for money paid. We had early morning tee time and there was good sized storm storm that caused quite a bit of debris the night before. Just a few tee boxes were affected which was understandable.
Good value.
Friendly staff, greens in great condition.
Give it a play before it shuts down for the summer.
Nice conditions
Got out at 6:10am
2some
Course in good shape greens look nice
Some brown in all fairways
Will not return
The staff was friendly and the first six holes actually had grass in the fairways and a bit into the rough which is what I expected for the rest of the round. Not so at all!!!! While nearly most of the greens were in pretty good condition, the fairways became absolutely terrible! There were huge sections of fairway that had no grass at all. Beyond that, the layout of the course showed no imagination. For the price, we figured we’d give it a shot. I told my wife afterwards, that even if the course was in great condition (like the photos show), I wouldn’t play there again.
