Golf Course needs Maintenance
Overall the course is pretty good. But it has had major irrigation lines leaking so the majority of sprinklers do very little or nothing. Therefore there is little flooded areas all over leaving most of the course totally deprived of water. This problem has been totally ignored for a long time????

Average course, but a great value!
We played on a Saturday midday for $45. Friendly staff, nice range, decent layout, but conditions were average at best. But here’s the rub: despite the 45-minute drive and $20 of gas, the all-in cost for two of us to hit range balls and play 18 was still only a little more than half what we’d have paid to play in the Phoenix area. An absolutely fantastic value.

Hello,
Thank you for your review from your recent round of golf at Francisco Grande. Bunkers have been neglected and we are working this week to clean, edge, and refill them with new fluffy sand. We hope you see the improvement during your next visit.
