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.

Good layout and challenging water

Overall good. Teeboxes need to be upgraded as they are small and a little uneven.

We have played here often and the course is always in good shape and a reasonable pace is maintained. Thursday was very frustrating. It appears prices were increased because demand is high, but no Marshall’s out to ensure you get the game you pay for. When you tee off on time, it should be easy to see when there is a problem and deal with it as most golfers expect

Restaurant service

Good food, service terrible! Taco Tuesday, recommended as really good, except they didn’t have any! Ordered chicken wrap, good food, but had to wait 25 minutes for it. Server ignored me when I asked how much longer as my partner finished his meal before I got mine! Not even an apology!

Ah...

Pace of play was slow, staff was ok but not what I would call friendly. I would rather play Whirlwind or Southern Dunes for the price.

Duck/Goose Poop

This course is in a beautiful community development so there are a lot of houses around the course. There are also a lot of waterways connected throughout. Many of the homes have pontoon boats located next to the golf course. Boats and golf courses don’t go together. I enjoyed the course layout as it navigates through the community. I would have given the course a solid 4 if it wasn’t for the waterfowl dung on nearly every hole. It is apparent that there is no effort made to control the fowl fowl. Like the boats, waterfowl and golf courses are better off separated.

Always in great condition

What a great course. Second time I played here (3 yrs ago was the first) and it was just as good as I remembered.

We did the gold/blue course and each were pristine.

Greens played true and were in great shape. Never cracked 80s before but this day I shot a 76. A round to remember.

Unregulated pace of play.

Twice in a week I played here. the first time I was paired with 2 women golfers who were beginners. It was a 5 hour round. The second time the starter tried to pair my partner and I with 2 high school players who were just learning to play.After I objected the starter moved us to the back nine and the result was we had to pair with a single and play at a slow pace as usual. I appre4ciate the effort but the result was the same. Course conditions appear to be on the decline. Pin positions were ridiculous.

Lots of Water Fowl

The course is unique to the area, not a desert course, lots of water. Big draw backs are the amount of Goose and Duck Poo! Greens seemed small compared to some of the other courses we played in the area. One of my biggest complaints would be the condition of the greens! They were riddled with ball marks! I know this has limited interaction from grounds keeping and more responsibility of the players on the course but they seemed pretty beat up. It was a fun course but I don't know if I will play it again.
