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.
Great older course!.
Love the old desert style course, with huge old native trees. Terrific layout for all player levels and the greens were super. All staff were extremely friendly and hepful.
Great course
Drove down from Glendale, the last two weekends and played this course. From the time you check in until your game is over, the service there is top notch and the price is very reasonable and a player friendly course. Can’t wait to get back.
Not worth the drive from Phoenix
We drove down from Phoenix to play this course. It was old dry and a major disappointment. Maybe 20 years ago this was a good big fun course to play. I was ready to leave after the first 9 holes. To make matters worse, the mosquitoes were out of control.
It was pretty green
Course was nice and people were friendly. Wear pants though, mosquitoes are out
Casa Granda
Everyone at this course has been great every time I play there. I have never had a problem with anything at this course, and I have recommended it to many of my friends. A great deal for the cost!
My take-aways
Enjoyed this course, the greens were green, and thats always nice, plenty of critters too. We got to see a hawk chilling on the grass like 10 yards from us! We had to search for the golf shop, wandering in the hotel lol (not for long tho). Their computers failed… but then they waived us by and we golfed for free! Pretty cool. Over all good experience. I will definitely go again.
