Not worth cost
Had an early morning start times(2) because we had 5 people. When we get there they tell us they will add another person to our cart or pay another $35. Note, when scheduled, cart fees included. The tees have no details on the hole, so you have to decipher the score card. Course in good shape, but so are most in AZ. They also are stuffing starts on both front and back 9. So now the back 9 takes us an hour longer because new groups are still being squeezed in. Avoid this Course if you want it to be enjoyable.
For the money nice course
Nice course for the money.
Tee off time was 7:50 finished at 12:00.
Course layout is the AZ feel .
Would definitely play again. Some areas did need some water .
Thank you for the nice review and kind words. We hope to see you out on the course again soon!
Thank you for your great review and 5 stars! We hope to see you out on the course again soon!
Friendly and helpful staff. Course aesthetic was just okay
The only downside for me may not register for many and that’s great. There is a whole lot of plain dirt areas around fairways which is good for making it harder to lose balls but it just doesn’t look like a great course because of that. Staff was great and the speed of play was as well. So if a picky review on the aesthetics just off the fairways isn’t a big deal this is a nice place to play - wide fairways and a nice variety of home designs to enjoy.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful review, Cory.
We’re very glad to hear you found our staff friendly and helpful and that pace of play met expectations. Creating a welcoming atmosphere and keeping rounds moving efficiently are both priorities for our team, so we truly appreciate that recognition.
We also understand your comments regarding the desert landscape areas surrounding the fairways. As a desert-style course, portions of the property are designed with natural terrain rather than lush rough throughout. While this can help with playability and ball visibility, we recognize that aesthetics are personal and that some guests prefer a different visual presentation. Your perspective is valuable, and we’ll continue looking at ways to enhance overall course presentation where possible.
We appreciate you recommending the course and highlighting the wide fairways and unique home views. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another enjoyable round.
Thank you for the nice review! We hope to see you out on the course again soon!

Mix up
We had to play the same nine holes twice, as a tournament was being held on the other 18. This would not have been a problem except we were not notified of this beforehand, and there was no reduction in the rate.
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent round.
We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by not being informed in advance that a tournament would impact course rotation and that you would be playing the same nine twice. Clear communication is extremely important, especially when it affects the structure of your round and overall value.
While tournament play is a normal part of operations, guests should absolutely know ahead of time if their round will differ from the traditional 18-hole routing. We are reviewing our booking and communication procedures to ensure this type of situation is clearly disclosed moving forward.
We also understand your concern regarding the rate. Perceived value is directly tied to expectations, and we regret that we did not align those properly in this case.

Very Enjoyable Round
This course exceeded my expectations. From the friendliness of the staff at arrival to a course with a solid layout in excellent condition and a fun round played in 3.6 hours as a foursome, everything was great. And with the cost of golf in the greater Phoenix area in January, the cost was reasonable. Would play again for sure if only to challenge the 9th hole on the North Course again!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
We’re thrilled to hear that your first round at Palm Valley Golf Club exceeded expectations — especially with some windy conditions in the mix. Finishing in 3.6 hours as a foursome is fantastic, and we’re glad the pace of play helped make it such an enjoyable day.
It’s great to know our team made a strong first impression and that you found the course in excellent condition. Our staff and agronomy team work hard to deliver a welcoming atmosphere and a layout that’s both challenging and fun.
And yes — the 9th hole on the North Course has a way of calling players back for another shot at it!
We truly appreciate you choosing to play with us during your time in the Phoenix area and are glad you found the value reasonable for January golf. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon.
All the best,
Justin

Highway Robbery
This golf course has a good layout and could be a really good golf course but it’s not.
We played on a Saturday. Greens are very slow. Tees and fairways hadn’t been cut for several days. Bunkers are so poorly looked after. Bare spots all over the place. The lack of care is absolutely ridiculous for the green fees they charge. Taking full advantage of fools like us that actually pay such a price to play such a dump. We knew it was overpriced when we booked but did not expect the conditions to be this poor. The owner is filling their pockets with money. Certainly not putting anything back into the golf course.
Hi Cory,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent round at Palm Valley Golf Club. We sincerely appreciate you visiting us during your time in the area and are disappointed to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.
We’re glad you enjoyed the course layout, but we take your concerns about course conditions very seriously. The items you mentioned — green speeds, mowing schedules, bunker conditions, and overall turf presentation — are areas we work hard to maintain daily. Weekend play in peak season can present unique challenges, but that does not excuse an experience that feels below the standard our guests expect, particularly at our posted rates.
We understand that visitors have many options when choosing where to play, and we regret that we did not provide the experience you anticipated.
Sincerely,
Justin

Oversees Season
It would have been nice to know in advance that the driving range and practice facilities were closed. Overall experience was still good though.
Thank you for the feedback and for playing with us. We apologize that the driving range and practice facilities were closed during your visit and agree that better advance communication would have been helpful. We appreciate you pointing that out so we can continue improving the experience for our guests. We're glad to hear you still had a good overall visit and hope to see you again soon at Palm Valley Golf Club.
Thank you for your great review! We look forward to seeing you out on the course again soon!

Good course! BRUTAL ROUGH!
Keep it on the fairway and you will be fine. Put it in the rough....good luck finding it!
Thanks for the fantastic review, Bromandude! We love your advice—staying on the fairway definitely makes for a better game. Hope to see you back out on the course soon, enjoying every swing!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your round on 03/01/2026.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly regarding cart arrangements and pace of play.
Regarding the cart situation, our standard policy includes shared cart fees, and additional rider or single-rider requests may result in an added charge. That said, we understand how frustrating it can feel if that wasn’t clearly communicated at the time of booking. We will review how this is presented during the reservation process to ensure expectations are clearer moving forward.
We also appreciate your comments about on-course signage. While yardage and hole information are provided on the scorecard and GPS, we understand that detailed tee signage enhances the overall experience and will share this feedback with our operations team.
As for pace of play, we do utilize both nines during busy periods to accommodate demand, especially during peak season. However, an additional hour on the back nine is certainly not the standard we aim for. We continuously monitor spacing and flow to maintain an enjoyable round, and your feedback helps us evaluate where adjustments may be needed.
We’re glad to hear you found the course in good shape, but we regret that other factors detracted from your enjoyment.
