Palm Valley Golf Club - South/West

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.

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.

fairways were pretty beat-up hardly any sand in bunkers
was pretty disappointed with the overall condition, was a far cry from the course i played just a month ago.

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.

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.

Even when weather is HOT it's fun to play. Not all that difficult, some holes play long.

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.

What a nice time at a golf course. Course was in great shape and well matained. I wil be olaying there as often as i can this season.

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.

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.

Executive course. Some challenging holes with water and bunkers. Greens were in not so good shape. Still had fun though.

Shot the best round ever the course was in ok shape Green were true fair ways in good shape

Played the Lakes course.
It was a fun little course, nice layout.
No problems with the pace of play, didn't have any groups within 5-6 holes of us.
The greens, especially on the front nine were in terrible condition. Hopefully they can get them back in shape.
Will probably try this course again in the future.

We started with lunch at the clubhouse and thoroughly enjoyed it. The server was helpful and friendly and the food was tasty and presented well. We played the 18 hole Palms Course and found it to be challenging enough to keep our interest. The tee boxes and greens were in great shape. It's heating up here so there weren't a high number of players in the afternoon, which made the pace of play perfect. All-in-all, a fun day.

Wonderful layout. Greens fast and undulating. Enjoyed my playing partner's tips, and had a wonderful time overall.

This is a course with several short holes, which is great if you want to practice your short game. The first nine putting greens were not in great condition, however the last nine were fine.

I used to play Palm Valley all the time many years ago when I had a couple of friends that lived on the course. I'll cut to the chase. Greens were consistent but dried out, very fast. you could see cracks in the base in many places. (Way too early for that.) Bunkers had little to no sand in them or at least they had not been turned in a very long time. The worst bunkers I have seen anywhere in a very long time. Slow play with no Ranger or beverage service. Waste cans overflowing at every hole. A few water jugs out of water. I was just disappointed having played this course for many years to see how it had changed. It used to be Primo all year round. I wonder what it will be like after it gets hot?

We played the palm valley lakes course the greens were not playable and t boxes were in bad shape. I think that if they would have said the course was in bad shape when we check in we could played some place else. Waist of time and money!!!!!!

I've been playing her for 7 years- this is the worst I've ever seen it. Greens were horrendous .I could putt better in the parking lot. Whole course was extremely dry. Cart girl only came by once in 3 1/2 hrs. Doubt I'll ever come back.

Great course layout. Greens were in awesome shape, soft and rolling smooth. Tee to green, well worth the rate. Would book it again
