Hidden Gem

Terrific course about 1 hour south of Phoenix. Undulating, with enough trees and well-maintained traps to make for a moderately challenging round.

Slow play

Today’s round was 4.5 hours WAY too long. The group behind us was rather inconsiderate to start. Constantly driving up to the tee box right when we were about to hit. Chattering away. They eventually backed off. There was NO WHERE to go. Slow slow slow. Played the other day here and pace was fantastic. Oh well. We will stay be back next year!

Enjoyed the course very much

Friendly staff, well organized. Adam is always a pleasure, never to busy for a word or two. Like design of course, in good shape, the sand bunkers are in extremely good shape and sand very consistent. Will be playing the course a lot this winter and bringing my Colorado guests.

We love to play at ‘Frannie’ each year we come here. Love the layout and the challenges. Also love the laughing ducks on 16 hole.

Over seeding done

The overseeding is coming in fine the greens are looking great. The course could still use a little clean up of trees and branches. The sand traps still need more work. Probably the worst condition is the tee boxes that need to be mowed lower, but are waiting for the over seeding to take hold. The fairways grass is coming in better every day.

The course is showing its age, but a great value for the money.

This course will test you if you don’t hit it straight.

The greens are usually small with bunkers protecting them.

First Time Playing

Should be in in a week or two.

Lots of wet areas and long and uncut tee boxes and fairways. The greeter/starter could be more helpful and less grumpy. I ask him what cart to take and he said none it was too early. I walked with my clubs and cooler to the driving range. 5 minminutes later he came over with a cart and said go now. This was 20 minutes early before my tee time and I hadn’t hit even half of the balls I paid for. The couple that he put me with also commented on his attitude.

They quit after 16 holes due to slow play and we a little overwhelmed by the course.

Francisco Grande

course is in fairly good shape. Grass is beginning to come in. There remains to be a lot of pick up-clean up all around the course that needs to be done. Lots of piles of palm leaves and cut grass all over the course that should be picked up. Traps are good and so are tee boxes and fairways
