Longbow Golf Club

First time we have played Longbow. Played 10 rounds of golf while in area and only course where check in person was not friendly, did not ask if it was our first time playing, did not tell us anything. Asked about range balls and found out they are an additional charge. Again, only course we played where we had to purchase range balls. We arrived 1 hour early to hit balls on range and after purchasing 2 large buckets, we were not able to hit any because range area for "regular" hitting (not TopTracer area) was small and full (part of it was closed letting grass grow). I did ask for refund and was given refund without hesitation. Not much of a ProShop and very tiny. We did get breakfast and person at grill was very friendly. The course is in an industrial area so not great views and also close to airport so planes were taking off. It was in good condition but for the price, so many better courses in area to play. Will not go back, too many better courses and some of them are cheaper.

First time I played here. Very well mainland managed course. Nice practice facilities, great drink carts.

Course is in pretty good shape tee to green. Greens rolled good but were a bit sandy. Other than that a very enjoyable round in just under 4 hours. Would definitely recommend playing

Nice course. The bunkers were not sand, they were gravel and hard like a trailhead parking lot.

As always this course remains one of my favorites. A little slow play today, maybe add a few minutes between tee times. Some walkers on the course which adds to the pace of play. Played in about 4.5 hrs, 1 hr. too long.

This course really can only push 150 or so golfers a day... pace of play is not an issue and the conditions are 10/10 for valley courses.

Found a great rate on golf now playing as a single. Lower than normal price made it a great deal. Pace of 4:15 was okay .Greens putted well and overall conditions are excellent.

A true desert course. Miss the fairway and you’re into the trash. Fairways and greens were in awesome shape. Greens roll smooth and somewhere around 8-10. Will definitely recommend, and the outdoor fireplace is awesome.

Course was in GREAT shape. Then again every time I have played here the course is always in great shape. Challenging but not too hard. Should play here more often.

From the start, the cart man was courteous and helpful. He was careful to explain the pairings and my options. The course was in great shape even if my game was not.

Longbow is a visually interesting yet punishing layout, especially from the tips. More attention could have been given in this design to fairway landing areas and occasional forgiveness in green complexes. From the tips it’s a rating of 72.9 (on a Par 71) that can play much harder, especially with any east wind (5 of the 9 holes on the Back 9 go east). The views of Red Mountain are spectacular. The front 9 is much more enjoyable (and reasonable) than the back. One frustrating feature is that you go 14 holes between Par 5s - I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that kind of gap.

The greens are excellent and roll true. The surfaces are the best feature of this course.

I found the pro shop staff to be incredibly disinterested and unhelpful. After taking my money, they gave me no direction as to where to head with my clubs or how to get range balls. They were also unhelpful in resolving an issue with my assigned cart, which had been taken by someone else in my group.

We saw the beverage cart twice on the front 9 but only once on the back 9, and not after hole 11. When the pace of play reached a standstill twice on the back, we really could have used a beer, but the cart was nowhere to be seen. Pace of play ended up being almost 4:30. Unacceptable and the rangers we saw did nothing to move play along. This course is simply too difficult off the tee for most of the people who play it.

Brought three friends to play and everyone had fun. The course was in good shape.

The course was in great shape. The greens are firm and rolling faster, but still a bit slower than optimal. Tough to hold these greens unless you are a super spinner. Beware of the bunkers, there in no sand, just packed dirt. That was the only negative.

Course is a big sigh. Copy paper score card is cheap. Not coming back.

For $100 to play, there are courses with faster greens. And riding w a stranger during covid is just dumb on the courses part.
