Rating 70.8

Editor's Note: Course closed for business. The land was redeveloped to

an industrial/warehouse area.

Located near the Estrella and White Tank Mountains, the Falcon Golf Club is an affordable, user-friendly course with an interesting layout. The front nine has a target-style layout with a desert landscape while the back nine has a more traditional design. The greens are medium-sized with a subtle break and the fairways are wide open. Water hazards come into play on two holes and there are numerous bunkers as well, especially on the back nine. The signature hole of the golf course is the par-3, fifth hole. This notable hole has water to the right of the green and bunkers on the front right and left. With its location just south of Luke Air Force Base, fighter jets are regularly seen flying over Falcon Golf Club.

Don't Waste Your Money

Just terrible...think they only mow it. No other maintenance...everything broken, filthy and run down. Used to be a nice course, shot some of my best rounds there several years ago. But, I will NEVER play there again!

The course needs a lot of daily work

First their computer was not working. When people showed up he said to go when you wanted to not relying on tee times. This backed up the whole course for the entire day, My slowest round of the year. Cut grass all over the fairways. Saw only one person working on course. Looks like they are letting the course get bad. Many places standing water that attracted mosquitoes and many ants on tee boxes. Couldn't wait to finish this round.

Seems there were mowers on nearly every hole with tons of mown grass laying in the fairways.

Fun Course

Course was fun. Green surfaces were hard and needed more water. Course was not crowded and it took me less than 3 hours for 18 holes. Staff was friendly and facilities were clean, Weather was clear and temp high 90's, but there were a lot of water stations with cold water. I had a great round and would recommend any golfer that Falcon Golf Course was a pleasant experience.

great course- insect issues

This course was ruined by the mosquitos. They are doing work on a swampy area in the middle of the course... hopefully will fix their mosquito problem. Club house sells spray for $7.25 so bring your own and this course will be enjoyable!

Need bug spray

The Mosquitos bite us every times we stopped. I wish we could just ride in the cart and hit the ball. Standing over a putt was horrible. Every time you stopped moving you got eaten alive. $7.50 for a can of bug spray when they know they have a bug issue is ridiculous. They should have had someone standing outside the clubhouse door straying you down and thanking you for even attempting to play. I might never go back it was that bad.

Bring your repellent.

bring your repellent ,, Rough alittle tall. the only reason I would not recommend this couse at this time is because of the mosquitos.
The staff in the club house had some and made the last 9 more enjoyable.

Bugs

It may just be the time of year but the biting ants and misquitoes were out in force. The misquitoes I can deal with and somewhat expect, but on every tee box (I shot from the ladies tees) there were biting ants. My legs look like I was on an episode of Naked and Afraid (not good). A little forewarning of the bug infestation would have been much appreciated. I would at least have been warned, but in this case, it just ruined my morning of golf.

More Than My Money's Worth

I've played Falcon Golf Club several times. Conditions yesterday were as they typically are. Overall, the course was in decent shape; not great but no big complaints. The greens were a bit inconsistent but it wasn't horrible. I'm sure I'll be playing it again soon.

Back nine had a very cool layout. The fighter jets taking off scared me at first but after that. I loved the course. Challenging but not too over whelming. Definitely worth playing again

Mosquito infestation

Quit after 6 holes, the mosquitos were absolutely horrible, starting at the front door of the facility. Every time you stopped the cart you were attacked, every swing was hurried because of all the bites. Have golfed in AZ for 4 years and never had a mosquito bite before. Course needs to get proactive and get rid of the mosquitos.

Mow the greens!

Played this course a couple dozen times over the last few years. Check quick and easy but towel bucket was empty but there was a hose right there.

The tee boxes weren't bad. The fairways weren't bad. The greens were terrible. Didn't look like they had been mowed for a 2-3 days on the front nine. The back 9 were covered with sand. There was no aerification alert but apparently the greens were punched recently.

Please, fix your greens!

Course is fun to play

I enjoy playing this course. Even in the busy months the price is reasonable. It has some easy holes and some challenging holes, which makes the round fun. The play moves along at a good pace and this time I played as a single and made it through in 2 1/2 hours.
