Rating 71.4

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.

Great course

My wife & I played this course with a great couple from Canada, course was awesome only 2 holes were getting fairways worked on so don't let that discourage you from playing. Golfed 3 other courses this by far was our favorite. Can't wait to play it again.

Snowbird final round

Love this course. Mountain views and elevation changes are awesome. Tough approaches and firm greens make the short game especially challenging.

Over priced

Beautiful views of the area, but the course is in poor condition. There are many bare spots and areas under repair. I do not recommend until they repair all fairways. It was over-priced for the course conditions.

Thing of Beauty!

Very challenging course, especially with the distraction of the outstanding views. A lot of terrain, full of wonderful landscapes. Best course I have played in the area (compared to 5 others).

Under repair

When we teed off, the starter warned us that 2 of the holes had fairways that were under repair. Once out on the course I discovered that most of the fairways had some patchwork of repairs.

As Advertised

Large # of fairway sod replacement areas- bodes well for long term health. Nonetheless, a pleasure to play and stay for buffet dinner.

not in good shape

The course fairways were not in good shape..certainly not worth 150.00; good views, we played the Phoenician for 50.00 less and it was in GREAT shape and fun to play.

The layout of the course is stunning!

A great playable course with subtle terrain changes. I played with some repairs taking place on several fairways but it did not detract from a very enjoyable and beautiful course. Greens were in great shape and rolling true.

Didn't believe the reviews

I had to see for myself if the course was that bad and it was. If I didnt have to stand in the fairways for 10 mins on every hole I might not have picked it apart but wow bad fairways and even slower play. Staff should be embarrassed with management of course.

Worth Playing

I was worried after reading many reviews about their poor condition of the fairways. They were not perfect like other courses I played, but it didn't effect our round and should not stop you from playing. The greens were excellent and it has the mountain views an out of town golfer wants

Nice course with good views

This is a good course with lots of elevation changes and a good layout. There were issues with some of the fairways but not that big a deal as in some of the reviews. I only remember some of the holes with major issues. I think lots of the replaced grass was already growing in ok. Greens were in good shape and I would play this one again.

Slow play, poor fairways

The fairways were being repaired on many holes and was in bad shape. We waited on every hole which made the pace of play very frustrating. Would not play here again for the money.

Slow play needs fixing

I have played this course since day one and bring 3 guests regularly. How sad to see the problems, particularly of slow play, outlined in many of the reviews. The day we played, the starter allowed 4 adults and 2 children in front of us in two carts!! I'm sure the children were pledged not to play, but they did. I noted in one of the reviews, a fivesome was allowed! The head pro was gracious and offered a replay but this lovely course needs to analyze and resolve the slow play issue. We played in 5 and one half hours! OB management needs to step up here. Are the tee times too close together??

Poor course conditions

The course was in as bad a shape as I've seen a course, especially at the top of the season and at the price charged. I don't expect to play here again and I don't recommend it.

Mountain is right

Course winds through a mountainous area so lots of elevation changes. You must play with someone who knows the course or you will hit into some bad places. Beautiful views of course & surroundings are worth taking your camera. Unfortunately, you'll have plenty of time to take pictures because like other reviewers have said, it's a very slow pace.

A must play AAA course

A great course to play for every skill level. A great layout with some spectacular views. The tee boxes & greens were in excellent shape. Undulating greens create a challenge. Carts were restricted to the rough on two holes due to minor sodding--not a problem.

5-1/2 hours to play

A beautiful day ruined by failed course management. Our 11:45 a.m. tee time was backed up 15 minutes and we waited on the tee every-single- hole. 5-1/2 hour round and people were leaving the course early. The rangers were friendly but nothing was done to find out and correct the problem. For what they charge, we should have been offered half off on another round...which I requested from a ranger. No response. We should have been offered something. Don't play here.
