Superstition Springs Golf Club

I love this course. I played this week and last. I thought the course was in great shape. I love that the driving range is on real grass, not mats! I think it’s a challenging course. Every single staff person was very nice & courteous. The only course I’ve played that has green fees well under $100, and I have played nearly every course in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Fountain Hills. This is by far the best value, as the course itself is fairly difficult, in wonderful condition; grass on the fairways & greens was awesome. All areas are mowed perfectly. One complaint I do have is about the sand traps. The sand is hard & is more like dirt. One the other hand, I have yet to play a course in Arizona that has decent sand. Even at Whirlwind, with $250 green fees, the sand still sucked.

So sorry to say, but the course should be closed permanently. It may have been in good condition at one time but it is badly in need of a major overall or repurposed for other use. There are plenty of other choices in the greater Phoenix area.

5.5 hour round and we started before 9 am. After we were backed up 3 groups on the 5th tee, I called to have the ranger come around. We were told he would be out shortly to speed things up. We never saw the ranger the entire day. The starter told us if we were hungry at the turn call the restaurant at the 8th tee to place an order. We tried to call and sat on hold for 10 minutes before continuing on with our day and no food. At the turn we saw the starter again and let him know about the terrible pace of play. He radio'd our concerns in but this seemed to mean nothing as we tee'd off into the back nine 2 hours and 50 minutes into our round. The Ranger still never came. At some point we were able to see that there was a group probably 5 groups ahead that had at least 2 full empty holes in front of them. Could have been an easy fix, but the ranger was doing his own thing I guess. I talked up the course to some friends as I had played here before and thought the value was great compared to most courses in the Valley, but for no food available and a 5 hour 30 minute pace of play I will take my $100 elsewhere in the future.

Our first 9 took 3.5 hours. We were following a 2 person scramble and they were so slowww. At one point 4 groups were backed up.

They did allow us to do front nine again or would have allowed us to get a rain check for second nine. It took us 1 hour 20 minutes to do second 9.

The sand traps were hard and some of fairways were getting brown. Is a very challenging golf course but I picked a very bad time to golf.

Very interesting Back 9. Fun must play it a second time to know back9 bettering

All was well until the 16th hole. We joineca twosome there and went to the 17th hole and found a 3 done on the fair way and a 4some waiting to hit before w we could ever ger ready to hit so we went to 18 and found 3 foursomes there so we called it a day.

Tee’d off at 3:15 and made it around all 18 holes with a 7:08 sunset.

The score card was useless for anything other than keeping score. For such a nice course, one would expect a score card with more information about each hole. Also the bunkers needed a lot of work... very little sand in them. With that said, we had a great time and would highly recommend the course to others.

Love the layout and views. Wish there was more of the off fairway grass. If not in the fairway, there is substantial sparse grass

Played after 1 PM and pace of play was 4 hours. Very good!
