Longbow Golf Club

Super fun layout. Lots of challenging shots, longish par-4s, and overall fun. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Greens had been punched recently so they weren’t rolling that great but I’m sure when they grow in they’ll be better.

It was $44 but the greens were punched, it would be nice for them to notify us or have a notification on golf now. You couldn’t pay me to play punched greens.

Course was not in good condition for June. A lot of brown and burnt areas around the green.

We should have paid the brown fees. Not green fees.

The course is in rough shape. There’s a lot of spots lacking grass and really dry. They just punched the greens and I was aware/okay with playing regardless. There are plenty of other courses in the area for the same price or cheaper that are in significantly better shape.

Like this course, but do not want to pay more than $100 - $110, especially when there are other courses in the area that are cheaper in the off-season. Course was in great shape, but not for the price they charge.

I would play this course again at the discounted price. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Nice clubhouse and facilities. Carts are brand new with great gps features. Greens were in fantastic condition for late May. Fairways were starting to be brown which was shocking since the heat just started. The only downside is the airport nearby, where they do flight training. Probably over 200 planes taking off and landing in a 4 hour window (no exaggeration). That is not the golf course fault and I understand they can’t control that but I wouldn’t pay $200 to listen to that non stop. Under $70 I would play again for the layout. Very small elevation changes

Marshals were asleep at the wheel. Pace was brutal. No ice or water in cart though there was supposed to be. Zero interaction from staff when round over nor any offer to clean clubs. Just a poor experience overall. Used to be great back in the day

Cart attendants ignored me when I got there. Did not offer to take bags just said carts are over there. Had to go back to get keys.

Course was really dry for this early in the year. Greens were fast and very hard. I would expect those kind of conditions in late June and July, but not in mid May.

Heck of a layout. If the course is conditioned to accept a good shot it is fine. Today. Baked greens patchy fairways and inconsistent fluffy bunkers. Hard and fast. Bring your best game cause anything heading off the fairway is an easy bogey.

The course made me late on my morning tee time by making me ask for the cart key twice. I ran into maintenance guys 3 times that I had to wait clear the green. If you need to do maintenance then don’t open tee times earlier then the work. Dry fairways. Overall better courses in Mesa than this.

Our recent experience me and an a colleague had at the Longbow Golf Club. On Sunday, May 5th, we booked the 6:30 am tee time for the back 9 early morning option. This was just a quick game before our church service at 10 am. There were only 2 of us playing in this round. Our cart gps had indicated that we were 3 minutes behind pace. At this time, we were on 14. While in the fairway, hitting our second shot, a ball had fallen directly 5 feet to the left of us. The group behind us had caught up and shot while we were only approximately 200 yards from the tee box. This was very concerning, and as you know, something is very frowned upon on the golf course. The ranger at the time was right there when it had happened. We had voiced frustration to the ranger on what had just occurred and he had agreed and went back to speak with them. After speaking with the party behind us, the ranger returned to us to let us know to just keep up with the pace and try and close the 3 minutes we were behind. We agreed and appreciated him for communicating with the other group. As we were speaking, yet another ball lander directly next to the ranger and almost directly struck him. We continued to the next hole and figured since the ranger had witnessed this occurance, there would be some understanding of what was going on with the group behind us. As we teed off the next hole, we were approached by Jeffrey Anti (Director of Golf). He had asked us what was going on. We had explained what had previously just occurred and what his ranger had witnessed. His response to this was that our story and the group behind us story were conflicting. I had stressed to him the safety concern of not only us as patrons but his staff as well. He became very agitated after me voicing my concerns on the players'behavior and course etiquette ,nd those types of individuals can be a huge liability to players and courses. His response to this, "follow me to the clubhouse, you guys don't need to play here anymore since it's a liability."

Me and my colleague were both completely flabbergasted from his response and agreed immediately since it was evident that he had complete disregard for players safety on this course. When arriving to the clubhouse and reiterating our concerns on safety, he stared his concern is not about safety it is about the pace of play. I had asked him to please bring the ranger back to the club house to discuss what had happened and what he had witnessed so we could discuss the safety concerns we had and he refused to do so.

This experience was extremely disconcerning and the course staff seemed to have complete disregard for player safety, customer satisfaction, and respect toward their customers.

Great staff and course. A fine course and should be played. Marshal Don’s the man with all the insights.
