Ocotillo Golf Club - Gold/Blue

Signed up as a single. Joined 3 great people. Very slow group in front of us. Too much golf course for their ability. Other than that, most enjoyable.

Lots of water and great layout. Very fair course with challenging holes.

This course has not recovered from the transition to new ownership/management. Great weather today, and pace of play was really good until the last 3 holes.

1) Fairways were not mowed tightly by any stretch of the imagination, like being in light rough on many holes. Not good when you are wondering if your shot from the fairway is going to be a flyer.

2) Tee boxes not watered well, most of the par 3 boxes would barely let you get a tee in the ground. On top of that, many of them were not mowed well either, lot of long grass.

3) Greens were quite slow, and a bit bumpy. Desperately in need of a good rolling and another notch down on the mower.

4) Outside staff barely acknowledged our existence. They are too concerned with moving carts around for some crazy reason. Guys in the shop were great, not sure why this translates so poorly to everything outside.

5) Started showed up on gold tee AFTER we all hit off 1st tee (too busy moving carts)

The place is just not well cared for these days, is understaffed, and really lacking on customer service. You guys need to figure it out and not let one of the better places to play in the east valley go to the dogs and you are well on your way. Not sure I want to come back and take a chance on this place again since this was just a repeat of a couple of months ago.

I attached a picture of the putting green from 3/24. How do you get to this point in March?

Challenging course with water on every hole. Great condition. Will play again.

Really fun and interesting course setup. Greens were a bit dry and hard, but they rolled fast and true. Considering all of the water they could have spared some for the grass. There is a lot of distance control via water - you’ll keep your driver in the bag for a lot of the day

Played the white and gold courses and had a blast. The water makes it challenging and interesting. It was a great day

Have played a great deal at Ocotillo over the recent years and have seen the ups (Troon) and downs (pre sale of course). Very pleased with everything yesterday with only two exception. Tee boxes getting chopped up and the tee up areas are getting smaller. Plus on a few tee boxes the ground was so hard we literally could not get our tees into the ground far enough. Been playing golf for 50+ years, have never encountered this. That said, the fairways and greens are in great shape, bunkers getting a bit hard. Really friendly staff with a shout out to the marshals on the course and the beverage cart lady. Ocotillo is back.

This is a spectacular golf course. It is in fabulous condition. It is one of the greenest courses in Phoenix with real and very plush rough.

Someone needs to review the practice putting green

Worst I’ve ever seen it

I play your course at least 20 times a year. It is having problems

It seems to

Bring extra balls. I was told that there was water on 23 of the 27 holes.

Look forward to playing there again now that I know more about the course. Where to go for it, where to lay up. Fairway layout and slopes.

Had a great time.

Course was in great shape and greens were very consistent

Great course for the money. Grass was in good shape, greens were true. Pace of play ran like a German clock. Definitely a play if you’re around Chandler.

Pleasant day, great facility, friendly staff, perfect pace of play, nice layout. Water on every hole but not always in play unless you hit some terrible shots. Course was crowded but never slow. Well managed. Some tee's needed a little TLC, sand traps were inconsistent...but the fairways and greens were well manicured. All in all...an exceptional daily use course. We were in for Spring Training and would absolutely play it again.
