Great Weekend Golf
While most of the courses in the Phoenix metropolitan area are crowded with golfers, Francisco Grande offers the golfer the ability to play a steady paced round. The course is long and a fun place to play, eat, drink and even stay. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good way to spend 4 hours with friends and family.
Course Needs work.
This course was not in good shape at all. Hardly any grass on the fairways. Half dirt. The greens were pitted with dirt areas as well. More dirt and less green. The course lay out was beautiful. Has a lot of potential to be a 4 star course. It looks like the course has not been taken care of in awhile. Money has not been spent to keep it to standards. It has a hotel on site as well. Money should be spent on the course to bring more people there to play, raise tee fee’s and maybe bring more business to the hotel that’s on the course for weekend tee times. A Golf weekend.
It's not clean.
There was not good condition. Especially creem condition no good.
classic course
Played here for years. Course is always fun to play, elevation and water makes it interesting.
Needs TLC
This course has a decent layout and green complexes are pretty decent. Definitely have an irrigation system problem but management is working on it. Great value if you don’t mind the drive. Would love to see conditions in the hotel and love the history.
Fun day all in all
Wasn’t a bad hour drive from Gilbert, this could be a real gem of a course but needs a little love with overgrown trees, grass and dirt patches on fairways. It’s a fun/ challenging course but they have lots of land to tame.
Poor maintenance
Course layout is resort style, but maintenance on the fairway was bad, there are dirt area in the middle of fairway without repair mark that not looking tried to be repaired
Dry as a petrified bone
The course is in dire need of attention to the irrigation system. The greens are in good shape but the fairways haven’t been watered in a very long time.
Starting by turning the water on and then burying the wires to the irrigation valves.
Won’t be back until these problems have been resolved
It has never been a well manicured course. But it is now in deplorable condition.
This course conditions are just horrible. More dirt than grass in the fairways. But all the areas between the fairways are thick and green. Ridiculous. This course is in need of new mgmt Asap. Lots of ways to save money on course maintenance yet improve the aesthetic appeal of it. If something is not done soon it is doomed
Better than expected
Course was in better shape than indicated in some recent reviews. Greens were great with just a couple of bad spots. Fairways had grass but some bare spots that need attention. Decent value, good conditions, friendly and helpful staff.
Thank you for taking the time to review the golf course. We realize the course has irrigation issues in areas. We are closing the course this summer to work on the irrigation system, and hopefully will have it back in standard condition in the Fall. We hope to see you in the future.

I don't like writing a negative review, but I have no choice.
Haven't played here in couple of years. Major downhill spiral on course conditions. Some tee boxes in sad shape, fairways with huge dirt areas throughout, most of the greens had some sort of an issue, some with large dirt areas. Not sure if it's bad course management or owner refusing to put money into course. Such a shame having a hotel, restaurant & course all at one location & to be run down the way it is. We have zero plans of going back anytime soon. I truly hope they get things turned around soon. When course is in good shape, it's a fun course to play.
Thank you for your review. We apologize for your recent unpleasant experience. We have had big setbacks to our irrigation system throughout the season, which has caused spotty conditions. We are closing the golf course during the summer to make repairs, and will hopefully have it in better condition in the Fall. We hope to earn back your business in the future.
Good value for the money
With most courses pricing themselves out of my budget, this was a welcome relief to my wallet.
It has a great layout.
Conditioning is the most challenging aspect of this course.
The greens were pretty good.
The fairways were a bit patchy, and there was some areas where the grass was overgrown around sprinkler heads.
But hey, if it were in great shape, I never would have been able to play it for $40. Put it this way, I have paid twice as much to play in the same conditions, so that's very informative.
Such a Beautiful Nostalgic Course that needs Extreme Care
I love this course, it has so much history. The sad thing is it hasn’t been maintained and needs so much work to restore and bring it back to its true rightful prestige.
Thank you for your review! Your review is accurate and we realize the course is currently in substandard condition. We are closing the course this summer to make repairs to the aging irrigation system, which is why the conditions are spotty. We hope to return it to it's normal condition, and earn back your business in the Fall.
