Desert Canyon
Course was great. The views were great. I would recommend this course to anyone.
Overall play
Enjoyed playing, played as a single, would have liked to be paired up, but very slow day, weather was a little cool for most people. Will play here again
Views are amazing
Fun course with just enough challenge for hackers, no forced carries for short hitters. Great scenery & views. Friendly helpful staff
Highly recommended
I am a nine handicap my wife 22 handicapper and we thoroughly enjoyed the golf course fabulous condition good pace of play staff real friendly the restaurant was unbelievable in quality and price recommend this place highly Ian Davidson Hemet California
Love this course...
We considered purchasing a card for Deser Canyon, but do not see any chance for dinner after golfing, so will just continue to golf and the find somewhere to go for dinner.
The staff are terrific, facilities are very nice, cart girl is excellent, but NO restaurant is a negative. Not sure if you had a restaurant set up before, and possibly no one supported it, but this is our ONLY. Negative.
Golf Phoenix
Good Course but staff not friendly.
The conditions of the course were very good
Great Value Golf
I had been informed that the courses in Fountain Hills will have some elevation changes; I was not disappointed. For the reasonable price I was pleased with what the course offered in some great golf shots required to make my way through the course.
Very enjoyable afternoon
Not too long from the white tees. Need to use the course map at the tee, as some dogleg holes were a surprise. Greens and bunkers in good condition. Careful you don't underclub on the downhill par 3 on the back nine.
Wow!
Wow!
Breathless views all around. Course is perfectly manicured and challenging enough for all level players.
Going back there today. I recommand that place to everyone.
Good public course
Greens pace was good and condition was decent. Fairways were not great but they just completed over seeding. Overall fairly easy course which seemed to play shorter than score card.
No desert conditions here
This is the second time I've played this course and it's still my favorite in the area. Great pace, 4h 15m. Friendly cart and pro shop staff. Prices are very reasonable. Course is wonderful.
Beautiful course
Played here for the first time and enjoyed the course. It was in great shape and the views are excellent. Only downside was the restaurant. Out of all the places we've played in AZ, this was the only bad meal we've ever had at a course.
Great views and value
Played late in the afternoon and managed to get all 18 in. Course was in great shape and is very playable. Didn't eat but the value for food is based on the low price of beer from the cart. Very friendly staff. Definitely would return for this mountain style course.
Nice, but unremarkable
Very well run facility, with exceptionally friendly staff. Course conditions were good but not great. Layout is average, with some boring stretches.
Great views, challenging holes, condition needed to be better
We got a deal on Golf Now which was $90 for 2 including cart. I think the normal rate was $90 per person. For the $90 per person I would have said that the condition of the course was lacking, but the food and staff were great. I would play this course again if I got a good deal because of the stunning views.
Awesome all round!
Great course with awesome mountain views and nestled into a variety of beautiful homes. Course conditions were ideal and the staff were very friendly and kept the pace of play under 4 hrs 20 min for the round, even at the end of the day! Don't miss this gem in Fountain Hills!
Beautful view and excellant course
Loved the place from the time I drove in until I left a great golfing experience. Played a half dozen courses this past week on vacation and this was my favorite .I will come back and play again on my next trip into AZ.
A gem in Fountain Hills
Can ride cart in fairways now. Very nice. Course play was good. We played a foursome in 3 1/2 hours. The cart attendant does not come on until 9:30 and we were on 18 when we saw her. The restaurant/ bar is not set up for a fast pick up and go. Not open early. Can not take a mixed drink on course. Beer OK but a couple guys wanted a bloody Mary and could not without staying in clubhouse to drink. The course has some beautiful views and it was in the best condition that I have seen. Have played it before but not recently and was pleasantly surprised. Greens are sneaky fast for overseed. .Used every club in bag during round which is a sign of a well laid out .course. Range balls included
Beau terrain mais inégal en qualité
Les premiers trous sont impressionnants mais les trous 6 et 7 sont décevants puis retour à de plus beaux trous aux 17 et 18. Belle qualité d'entretien, personnel aimable. Nous reviendrions quand même.
