Golfer Reviews
Nice course
I wish I could give my game a 5-star rating but I played terribly that day. In spite of that, it was a very enjoyable course to play- challenging but not too difficult. Fairways and greens were on great shape. There was some standing water due to last week's,s heavy rains but otherwise very nice.
nice course and friendly staff
Nice course but a little rough around the edges.
Good pace of play compared to other az courses.
I could have done without the loud music around the clubhouse.

Pretty much a goat track
Greens in general were ok, but grainy and slow. Fairways are mix of grass and mud/dirt. If your going to take a divot it’s like tearing grass, with chunks of dirt/mud
If you miss a fairway I hope you like weeds and hard pan!
Good note the tunes they crank outside the pro shop was good, but not good enough to return to this poorly maintained course. The grass driving range is a joke, your better off hitting off Matts, it’s was mostly hard pan.
Great staff , fun course
I play approximately 75 different courses each calendar year. I can usually tell within the first 5 minutes at a property how the day will go. Walking into pro shop at WS I was greeted warmly and treated great by staff. Any questions were quickly and professionally answered. The course has nice layout, great greens and good pace of play. I will definitely play there again.
Decent course for the price
Course was in good condition. Not terribly difficult, which I did not mind coming from east coast and not having played for a while. Was very very wet but can't blame the course for that issue.
Easy to find. Excellent breakfast sandwich, although restaurant did not open until 10am
Nice course!
The staff could be a little friendlier. No bag drop. Good people on course. The course was in ok shape. Greens were nice. Rough was dirt and rocks; but it is a desert course. Pace was good!
