Red Mountain Ranch Country Club

There a so many other courses in better shape and for less money.

Had a great time and it’s definitely a challenge. Rolling hills and nice greens

The course is a nice design with a nice balance of challenge and forgiveness. Unfortunately, the condition has slipped since I first played it 5 or 6 years ago.

Tee boxes are fine, fairways are ok but the greens are in great shape. Greens complexes are well designed and can be tricky. They roll fantastic!

What needs work? Fairways are sparse for this time of year. Everything past the first cut has been neglected. The carts are dated and the oaths need a complete overhaul. Lots of rough transitions from the path to grass. It would be easy to put up some temporary fence (ropes) to keep traffic from wearing these areas out. On top of that, they are eroded from runoff.

Completely playable and fun. They just need to spend a little money and time getting things in better shape.

I’d like to comment on an issue with Red Mountain that is very common . Semi private golf courses must accept outside play to make their bottom line work. I travel a lot and book as single player 95% of the time. As such, I’m tolerated at best. Arriving at Red Mountain, I checked in , purchased range balls and headed to range (30 minutes ahead of my 730 tee time).! The starter informed me I needed to tee off right then or wait until after 8am. He said that the two members scheduled to play with me only like to play as twosome. I told him I had a time and range balls purchased in good faith and he would be back from range for my assigned time. Unfortunately, because you’re not a member, you often get similar treatment, My hope is that someone from GolfNow reads this post and attempts to address this issue.

The course played tough, which was expected. It was a 5 hour round, no control over that. Then we proceeded to the restaurant for beers and lunch, only to get the check and find an 18% service charge. This wasn’t and isn’t considered part of the tip. There were four of us. When asked, they said it’s standard and is also used for banquets and weddings, which I understand. So after that charge, tip, and tax, you pay an additional 45%. No go for me, avoid it.

Much more dificult than I anticipated. It reads pretty short but the greens are small enough to make up for the shortness. A lot of undulation and elevation changes. Water and sand well placed but not unnecessarily punitive. I really enjoyed the day..

Thoroughly enjoyed the course, the conditions, and the layout. Several tees to choose from. Greens could be a little faster. Staff were very friendly.

Relatively short in regards to distance but the hills and blind shots make up for it. Very nice and true greens, Spun a few back.

Course has a super cool layout. I played the tips. Had some very tight tee box shots from back there. Also had some very open and cool set up ones. The island box on the back 9 was very cool. Overall course was in very good condition and for the price this place was worth the money 100x over. 100% will be back. I play a lot of courses and this is now on my top places to play in the PHX area. Awesome track.

Had the course largely to myself. 8am tee time, previous group 45mins in front of me - never saw anyone on course. 2.5hr round.

Greens were in great shape, fairways also for the most part … some spots were getting additional watering but overall good course and value for money
