Met expectation for the price point.

Typical summer in Phoenix conditions; Aeriated greens, bare spots in the fairway, and no drinking water on the course. the desert areas were clean and free of excess brush. Conditions on this date were very slow. We've been playing 3.5 hour rounds and this was 4.25 hours.

Out of season, and it shows

The fairways are water-logged, too soft to compress a ball off of. The greens were punched recently and are going through their usual summer shaggyness. Give it a few weeks before booking your tee time here.

Nice desert course

Was a great course, well maintained. The Fairways were nice and green for as hot as it was. The greens were well manicured too. Will definitely play here again next time in AZ.

Slow play. 105 degrees!

I know times are odd. But you gotta get a ranger take a pass or two from time to time. C'mon. Knuckleheads that teed off 7:30 were slower than snails. Their golf course etiquette was non existent. Thank goodness we played thru them when they were 1.5 holes behind.

Have Hade Better Experiences Here

I have played Palm Valley Multiple time and normally this course is in great shape. Today was a different story. There were multiple occasions where I was penalized after hitting the perfect drive, ending up in dead/ hard pan. I understand that the times are difficult and transition was rough this year, but it was a little more than frustration. Greens were in good shape, and other than the fairways, most of the course was right on par.

Course is pretty good. Some fairways were short of grass. Closes too early to even get a beer after your round.

Worth it

We played here last year for the first time and had a great experience..so we had to make the return trip. Great experience again.

First group out so pace if play was not an issue. The course is in great shape. Fairways are forgiving and the greens roll true. We will be back as this is a top 5 on our list.

Correction To My Mistaken Review

I left a previous review of Fun To Play Once.

That was for another course I played on the same day.

This course was pretty straight forward. Showed you what you had in front of you.

On my next trip I will look for this course at a Hot Deal but will go play elsewhere at the price we paid.

Fun To Play Once

Kind of like a large round of putt putt. Greens have crazy undulations.

The man in the pro shop seemed irritated by our presence, the men at the club drop and the gals at the restaurant were some of the most pleasant and accommodating people I interacted with during my visit that consisted of 15 different golf courses.

For what you get for what it cost it was fun to play once. Unlikely I will be back.
