Good value course
Had a little difficulty obtaining our carts from the barn. Tee boxes were quite rough and un-level. Fairways were decent and greens were generally good to very good. Mainly made up of par 3's, short par 4's and 1 par 5. Good course to practice your skulls.
My only issue is that the small area around the holes were very often not level with the cup. Many seemed to have a raised area around the hole that was actually raised enough to be visible to the naked eye. Other aspects of the course were quite nice.
Good warmup
This course is a good warmup for the bigger courses. The crowned greens add the difficulty that make you work for your pars.
Worst course I’ve played on in Az
Fairways and rough all the same. A pasture. Greens OK but impossible
Over booked
We had 3:15 tee time
Got to first tee 3:40
Need to spread tee times out further apart or get marshal to move slow play along
Icing on cake was being chastised because we were 10 min late bring carts back
Guy literally chased us off last green taking flags out
I am retired guy who works part time on greens keeping team back in Ontario and we would never treat our paying golfers like we were
The course is Nice and the staff is extremely friendly. My 2some got paired up with 2 wonderful female golfers and we had a blast. I even shot my PB of 84, I'm usually in the high 90s to low 100s so this was a wonderful day.
Great little course
Nice easy layout, came back the next day and played the complete 18.
Very nice course. Good to great condition. Staff was friendly and helpful. Shorter course but perfect for our group.
Good executive course to get some practice in. Fairways wide & flat, & in good condition. The greens are domed, fast, so staying on the green means you need to hit accurately. Pro shop was well stocked & had lots of ladies clothing!
