Longbow Golf Club

Course had recently been clipped short to allow the Bermuda grass to make its claim for the summer. Conditions were very dry. Both variables made striking the ball from the fairway more of a challenge. Green-side bunkers had workable sand, whereas the fairway traps were hard packed. Greens had been sanded but ran at a 10. Tee boxes, for the most part, were in good shape. Our foursome completed the round in a comfortable 3:50. A bounty of water bottles could be found at every third tee. Just wished range balls were included, like at other Troon-managed courses.

We love the golf course. The only thing we find a bit frustrating is the bunkers early in the morning. Many people are not raking them

This course is in need of water and badly it was extremely dry and hard. If it got the needed water it could be incredible but not likely to happen as it’s the summer months and does not get the water it needs probably to much money. The one bright item was there was more than enough water to drink to keep you hydrated in the heat.

This course is in overall good condition and it is much more affordable than similar courses in the PHX area. I almost got 36 in for around $100. Greens are firm and quick. The desert landscape forces you to hit it straight, as its not very playable. If the driver isn't working, you'll blow up.

Conditions were good. Lots of interesting holes. There was a line to warm up at the range; a little disappointing. Some improved cart path directions would be helpful; would be easy to get lost if I hadn't of played with a veteran.

Hi handicappers need not be afraid if playing vacation golf. Holes are forgiving off the tees but bunkers are relentless and deep. Super fast but impeccable greens. Staff was very good.

played in late April, ground is firm which is OK on fairways, but had a tough time getting ball to check up on greens...which is touchy since many of the greens are guarded by sand traps that you have to carry. Would play a little easier under softer conditions.

But it was a great challenge, loved the course...would definitely play it again.

Weather for an afternoon nine holes and was delighted by every aspect of this course. The property is immaculately maintained and I got great value.
