Needs Help

Palm Valley has always been a very busy and super facility with well cared for greens, fairways, rough and bunkers. I played today and was disappointed in the current conditions. The rough and edges of the fairways were in severe disrepair with loads of dead grass areas. I could see they were working on the problems. The bunkers were also very hard pan sand. Middle of the fairways and greens were very good though. I will still come back and think we all should.

Palm Valley

50% of Yardage markers on sprinklers were gone, directions from one hole to next can be better especially between hole 4 and 5. Just a simple arrow as you exit the tunnels. Greens were in great shape but areas around greens were cleaned up or died leaving dirt . Staff was very friendly and u can see what the groundskeeper is doing so the course will be perfect for the fall winter season.

great value

Outstanding condition for the middle of a Phoenix summer. Thoroughly enjoyable. Fairways and Greens were in great shape, obvious a lot of water was used to keep this course playable. Had played a neighboring course (2 miles away) the day before and was totally un-impressed with their course maintenance (bad greens). Palm Valley was a great value for the middle of the summer. Will return with other players.

Not bad for summer conditions

Course was in good summer condition. Greens were rolling pretty good, speed of the greens about an 8 on a stimp. Fairways were in good summer condition. Bunkers and tees were normal summer condition. Paid $29 on Saturday, about 4h30m round, a little slow for summer.

Value Course

I teed off at Palm Valley Friday morning around 0930. Greens fee was $30, $4 bucket of balls.
Nobody was on the course save for a few singles and a "sixsome." First time I have ever seen that but they were friendly and let me play through.
The course looked good for late July in Phoenix. The fairways had decent grass on them with a few bare spots but nothing to really affect play. The greens were on the firm side but still accepted shots although I never had to repair a ball mark all day. Tee boxes were good with a few not level. The sand traps were absolutely horrible and the only negative part of the course. They were basically a dessert area and should be treated as one with a chip out and not a normal sand shot.
The customer service at Palm Valley in the summer is not a strong point but the pro shop attendant did acknowledge my existence and thanked me for coming out. No bev cart was on duty but they do have water at every other hole.
Palm Valley offers a $5 replay rate through the summer and I was able to take advantage of it. I think PV is a great value in the summertime. I'm not sure I would pay their winter rates but summertime is a good value.

receptive greens

The course was in good condition. There were a few patches of repaired fairway, but the greens were soft and receptive. They also had a bit more break in them than I expected for being soft.

Palm Valley Championship

Nice course. Forgiven to those golfer who hit right our left too. So of the dance floors are challenging if you don't hit the ball right on the first time. The floors are lifted and the ball could roll off. The pave was so at first as we had parents with their children in front, lucky they played only 9 holes, then the pace improved.

I would pay this course again but I'm about affordable. I play weekly, so my play has to fit my budget cause golf isn't cheap.

Disappointed with greens

This is the second time we played in the past two months and both times the greens were in horrible shape. We were told they have a fungus growing but we would have expected it to be cleared up by now. Very disappointed a second time and probably won't return.

Excellent experience

The course played very well. Wide open fairways and nice greens made for a great day of golf. The cart girl (Laura) was nice and very friendly. The total experience from check in to the 19th hole was great.

You like a challenge?

The Palms course is thus-far the most challenging course I've played here in the west Phoenix area. I was paired up with a threesome and the pace of play was good. It took about 4.25 hours to complete play. The tee boxes are well maintained, fairways and first cut also in good shape. Unfortunately, the sand-traps need better sand. Some were hard as cement playing. You had to really "dig" into it to get any kind of "out" play or ball comes out "hot" and unforgiving. For middle aged players, such as myself, it's a great challenging course when you keep it in play and opt for longer approaches.

Great shape for this time of year

Excellent conditions apart from some excessive water on a few of the fairways. Bunkers were saturated for the most part. Course needs more than one beverage cart, especially in this heat.
