Great track

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.

Perfect Seasonal Golf

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.

Desert course

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.

Perfect day at Longbow

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.

Impossible when windy; decent layout, disinterested pro shop staff

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.

Great conditions right now

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.

Not covid friendly

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

Visiting for Thanksgiving

Very nice course..

I used the 3 wood more than the driver because of the light/ waste area just outside of the fairways.

Challenging course that requires local knowledge.

Many bunkers, fairway and green side, seemed like they were more wet dirt than sand.

Greens were large enough to miss and still have a up and down chance.

My only pet peeve is that that were too many ball marks on the greens, which isn’t the courses fault, but I’d wish golfers would fix theirs and 2 more to make it nicer for all

Handicap player.

Great course and time of play was 4 hrs.

Cart path only :(

With a back brace and knee “ limited motion “

True! Handicapped players should be able to play 90 deg.

But it was enjoyable playing today
