A long day!

We played behind a junior tournament and pace of play was very slow.
The starter announced my first name instead of my surname which caused confusion since everybody else's surname was used when being called to the tee. As a result we missed teeing off on time and had to be fit in later. When I asked if they normally use first names when calling people to the tee the starter said "sometimes" . Strange.
The rough is deep and lush and at times it was difficult to find a ball in the rough.
Other than that the course is nice and I would play again.

Pre Super Bowl round!

Showed and and got a "Hotdeal" at the course. The staff was friendly and fast seeing that I showed up late.

The best part was that I got to play with an amazing group of guys. I ramdomly played with them at another "golf now" course a few months before.

Course was well worth the money and a fairly challenging and is great shape.

Play here and you'll enjoy yourself!

Great Value

I really enjoyed my afternoon there, starting out with great practice sand, green and driving range. I was paired wth local people who made getting around the course a breeze. Would like to see better direction signs when coming off the greens.

Outstanding

The lush fairways ,firm greens and immaculate bunkers were every thing I expected.there wasn't a bad hole on the course. Maybe the rough was a little more challenging to get out of than expected but I shouldn't have been there.. This course was a definite A plus.will definitely come back.

Pace fo play..

First of all I love the course and think they should charge more to weed out some of the play that should not be on the course !!! A 1:30 tee time should finish but we were half an hour behind to start, no starter on the tee and no course assistant to keep play moving. It took 3:15 to play 12 holes !! It was getting late so I had to leave. NO FUN.....

Palm Valley lives up to its name.

Booked a tee time on Golf Now. Everything was ready when we got there and we were paried with a couple from Canada. The pace play was normal with some slowness near the end of the round. The course was in good shape although they were working on some of the bunkers. Other bunkers did have puddles of water that inhibited play and the sand was compacted. We would play it again.

5.5 hours to play golf is totally unacceptable

Really slow round of golf, extremely frustrating.
Would not return, marshal was around but did not
do anything.
Also I went to use the 25 % promotional code, and
it showed discount, then when I clicked on the site
to pay it did not include the discount. ???

Nice and green

We were very impressed with the condition of the course for this time if year. Really enjoyed our 2 rounds . It was a good pace of play also. I did not rate the food as we did not stay for supper, but we're told it was good also.

Well kept course, except for bunkers

Great value. One of the best courses for value in west valley. Just came off reseeding so greens will speed up before long. Bunkers needed sand and turned as there were no soft sand. Roughs were very long on this trip

Good round ruined

The 2 of us played the front 9 in under 2 hours. We then had a foursome inject themselves in front of us at the turn. They were playing from the blue tees, and on one of the par 4's waited until the group ahead of them had cleared the green before teeing off. Some of their tee shots barely travelled 150 yards. There was nary a marshall in sight. There were quite a few upset golfers in their wake. It was almost 3 hours to play the back nine.
The only course complaint we had was that the bunkers were full of wet sand, and in some cases, standing water. If the course would employ a marshall, it would have been a good place to play as the course itself is challenging.

very nice course

play was a little slow but that was due to cart path only.... grass was a little long and cuttings around the greens but that was due to overseeding... I suspect that everything will be excellent next week....

Zero Maintenance

I should not have played the course upon first seeing the fairways. The fairways were cut down to dried out grass with dirt exposure. The bunkers were nothing more that dried up mud parches with little to no sand and drainage trails all over the inside of the bunker.
The cart paths (cement) are covered with dirt, sand, and pebbles, that could have least been cleaned up a bit. The greens were below average as well but were in better condition than the overall course. I heard the course was going to be over seeded shortly but this course should have been closed already.

Better Value Elsewhere

Can't blame Palm Valley for condensation on the greens or standing water and mud following Sunday's heavy rains but overall, the greens were not in very good condition with several burned out spots, and the Golfnow price of $32 per player is not a very good value right now, considering we have been playing at Lonetree in Chandler for $28, which is in excellent condition, or Dobson Ranch in Mesa, also excellent conditions, for $28. Also, the $32 we paid was advertised as being a 43% savings off the regular price. We would have been very disappointed had we paid the "regular price."
