Rating 71.5

If you come to Arizona to play desert golf, forget about Ocotillo. Ocotillo is a refreshing change of pace from most of the Valley's courses precisely because it isn't surrounded by desert.

The White Course is the most unique of the three. It has only one par 5, and the water is a factor on just five of the holes. But it also has the best hole on the property -- the 479-yard, par-4 ninth, which used to be an easy par 5 but is now a treacherous finishing touch.

The Gold nine is a devilish test and not just because water comes into play on six of the holes. The greens have a lot of slope in them and are difficult to read. And some pin placements are brutal; hit a downhill putt two feet past the

hole, and it might roll down into a swale and 30 feet by. Uphill putts, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to get to the hole, if for no other reason than Ocotillo's greens aren't as fast as some of the Valley's marquee desert courses.

Overseeding

Blue course was great. White course was dry and almost unplayable. I would wait a few weeks before playing here to allow overseeding to mature.

Way over priced for this time of year, why charge full price while course is being prepped for overseeding? Course was in terrible shape and paid $130 …… ridiculous.

Good, but not worth the price

The rough was too high, we couldn't find a bill that went into the rough. We are not playing the US Open. One teebox had so much goose turds we couldn't even tee off. There were a lot of tree branches that had fallen off and just laying on the sides of the course. For this price, I expect much better.

Hi Miguel, thank you so much for the review. This time of year, the courses start to go through transition. The winter grass has died out and the Bermuda grass is coming out of dormancy. Have a wonderful day!

Terrible Pace

The pace of play was absolutely atrocious. The staff was unfriendly and there was no Ranger to enforce pace. After every shot we were waiting 15-20 minutes. We got the the turn and two foursomes were inserted in front of us. We waited 45 minutes to start the back nine. They are clearly trying to increase revenue without any consideration for the experience of the golfer. Will not be going back.
