Designed by Scott Miller, this course is located in the southeastern foothills of the McDowell Mountains and is an innovative departure from the “target” style courses constructed in the desert in the recent past. Its layout takes advantage of a variety of land features: rolling hills, ridgelines, lush valley and washes, with a backdrop of prominent mountain outcroppings. In many instances, long extended views into untouched desert landscapes and area landmarks, such as Camelback Mountain, will be afforded. It is a strategic design, which asks the player to make choices relative to skill level.

Shame about the damage

The last time I played here was 9 years ago and it was top class unfortunately this time round was a shame as there was a lot of damage on the fairways which is in the process of being repaired but the club still charging top dollar to play. The greens are superb and the layout and views are second to none jut a shame about the fairways. Hopefully I will play again when the course is back to its best.

Course in rough shape

Fairways are not in good shape, many carved up , and others patched with sod. Greens were in good shape, bunkers were fair. Tee boxes fair. Too many other courses in the area at the same price that are in better condition.

Very scenic

The scenery at the course was great.
The course is nice and challenging.

The conditions of the terrain was not that good.... The fairways were either soggy and damp, or patchy and muddy. And the greens were extremely slow.

But I would still recommend this course just for the picturesque scenery.

Course conditions...

It's May in Arizona. The fairways were horrible! What the heck? And not a word is said when you book the tee time or before you play. Lame. Lots of other great courses around.

Disappointed

Typically this is one of out top go-to courses. Fairways are in very rough shape.ade the turn at lunch time and they only had 2 burgers. Seems odd when it is lunch time to not have food. Try to get a couple of pepsi's. Only had one.
Very slow pace for this time of year. Took us almost 5 hours.

Fairways under repair, greens slow but hard

This course has a great rep but many of the fariways were being resodded which was surprising this early in the summer months. The undulating greens were surprisingly slow, but very hard and unreceptive to even my 58-deg wedge. Hope it turns around for the rest of the summer.

Eagle mountain

Great! I enjoy the course. I have read some of the reviews and how can people say that are advanced when their handicap is 15-19!!. Maybe they should play star fire down the street.

Bad bad bad

Course conditions extremely poor! Salt got on the fairway and burned real bad! Lots of grounds under repair! No way should a course charge the money they do for the conditions its in. Next was pace of play. Had to wait consistently over 10 min each hole! Talk about a drain! Could be a good course but terrible overall value for the money they charge

What Could Have Been

This course has the potential to be wonderful but when you get seven (7) groups waiting on three (3) holes and the marshal/pro did nothing to solve the situation there can be no fun or positive words for the round. This was a weekday at 10 am start and made everyone leave with a bad taste in their mouth.

Always Great

Beautiful course, well designed. Priced fairly. Those who are above 10 handicap shouldn't even think about trying anything further back than the white tees. Don't let the yardage fool you/ this course is difficult and greens unforgiving. That said, it's a wonderful change from the dozens (thousands?) of courses that are mostly flat. A must play if in the Scottsdale area. But only if you're in good condition, even with carts. Drink lots of water!!

FAIRWAYS STRUGGLING

They are working hard to fix their salty water problem which led to some fairway issues. A little time and proper watering will help get the course in it's usual pristine condition.

Believe the reviews course is in terrible shape

I play here every time I come out to AZ. Such a disappointment to see this course in such terrible condition. I wouldn't play it again. Only so many days in a week of vacation and this course was a waste of money and time. I should of believed the reviews.

No longer a premium course

Positive: staff friendly and attentive.

Negative: fairways exceptionally poor condition. This should be disclosed to individuals
making tee times as ownership is advertising the course as a premium golf course.
Definitely not worth the cost due to the present course conditions.

A fun but challenging course

Course is excellent with friendly staff. A lot of areas in fairways were under repair, which I think is typical for most courses this year. Tees and greens are excellent. Would recommend to 18 or lower handicaps.
