Rating 70.8

The Arizona Golf Resort is home to a golf school and a challenging 18-hole course. The golf course is known for its difficult and scenic par-3 holes. It is has a traditional layout that features large, subtly sloped greens that are guarded by bunkers. Stately cottonwood and eucalyptus trees line the generous fairways. Lakes form water hazards that come into play on five holes and there is also native rough throughout the course. With four sets of tee boxes, the course offers a suitable challenge for players of all skill levels. In addition to the course and the school, the Arizona Golf Resort has a putting green and chipping area as well.

course not in great shape

I thought that since they recently changed the name to this course, the conditions would be better. However, there were lots of wet spots from the sprinklers, and hardly any fairway grass to be found . Played off of dirt half the time (and not because I am an ok golfer)

Getting there

I played Saturday afternoon as a twosome. Course is still in need of some TLC. Found myself in dirt patches off the fairway and in the fairway. It's playable if you improve your lies to the grass. Greens were average.

Danger!! Bring your own water!! No cart service after 10:30AM!!

It was 97 degrees and there was no beverage cart service at all from our tee time at 10:45 to the end at 3PM!! This is dangerous!! Dehydration is a serious concern here in the desert!! They told us the cart lady takes off at noon because" there are no golfers in the afternoon". We never saw her at all!!We were stacked up all afternoon!! People were still going out after we got done! This is irresponsible!!

The green condition was not good

Tee-off was at 9:20 AM. The fairway was damp in some areas, and there were marks on the green where someone had struck down. The hole cups also showed signs of being disturbed by someone

Horrible course

This course has a lot of potential. Open and nice layout for the fairways, although the grass is all in horrible condition. The fairways are worse than elementary school grass. The pace of play is also super slow. We waited 10 minutes every hole to tee off and also had multiple groups behind us waiting as well. I would never go to this course and would rate it horribly.

Course Must Be Broke

When we arrived, there were about 20 golfers standing around the Bag Drop. The Marshal told us that the Golf Club had not paid the rent on 12 carts and the cart company just picked up the carts. We waited an hour for a cart. This course is one of the worst we have ever played. I do not expect them to make it through the Summer.

Terrible consumer services

I was on a bachelor party trip and booked 4 tee times. Unfortunately the gentlemen I was cancelled on playing and we ended up cancelling. We canceled 15 hours before tee time, on a Saturday. I 100 percent believe they filled the slots without issue. Ultimately they did not refund me and I was personally screwed out of 1500 dollars. I understand the 24 hours in advance rule but to take that amount money without any remorse is terrible. I take ownership of the later than wanted cancellation but I do believe even a partial refund would have left a better taste. I’m from New York which is a crappy place but I never expected this kind of treatment in a state I love, Arizona. Also I played two other courses with my pops while we were there and we absolutely loved them! I’d personally just avoid this course.
