Superstition Springs Golf Club

Oh boy. Not good. The course is dead pretty kiche everywhere. I know it's summer, but trust me,lots more courses that are better for the money. Fairways were hit or miss rocks, gravel, dry dirt, mud, crab grass or every once in a while normal grass. Putting? Forget about it. The greens make your ball bounce like a pinball and you lose velocity quickly because of that. The water hazard are all dried up and smell bad. Unfortunately, a once gorgeous course has turned into a steaming pile

The course conditions were horrific. I expect the greens to be bumpy in July in AZ. But the rest of the course was horrible. Tees were not flat--uphill, sidehill. Some places had grass--likely where a sprinkler was placed--and it was so thick it was unplayable. The rest of the course had more dirt and weeds than grass. Very little sand in the bunkers (and that is being generous)

Golf Courses in the East Valley seem to be a contrast between the “haves” and the “have-nots”. And SSGC is definitely a “have-not” when it comes to course conditions. It seems they have too much grass and not enough water. Or they have several areas that are not working properly, as there are hoses and sprinkler heads in some of the fairways. Who knows, but for $70+ in July, I would expect more. Maybe that’s just “how it is” now. But it’s still a shame compared to what this course used to be 10-15 years ago…

I wanted to take my son to one of the nicer courses in our area because the rates are low during the summer. We were both disappointed on how bad the condition of the course was. The 14th hole was closed, many of the holes were roped off so you couldn’t drive to your ball, the rough was so long in areas that you could be right next to your ball and never find it, and they lakes were dry. I’ve played plenty of courses in the summer that are still maintained, but it seemed like they just let this one go. Hopefully they can correct this. It has always been one of the nicer courses in this area.

What staff they have are good, the pro shop, cart guys and beverage cart. They don’t have a starter or marshals so you can wind up with a foursome followed by a twosome, followed by a single, followed by another twosome. It’s probably the best they can do given the time of year and quantity of golfers. I had fun as the single and enjoyed the round. Many bunkers were awful and the best were so so. Like many other courses around the valley.

Played on june 18, 2024. Course conditions were pretty rough, pace of play was slow (5 hr round). Wasn't worth the price premium paid for Father's, but decent value at a lower price, around $40-45.

It was very slow, and horribly backed up! No Marshall was present to push the pace

They were transitioning over to the summer grass, so conditions were not great.

If you like challenges, then this course is made for you. Elevations, dog legs, fairway traps and natural hazards are built into this course. While I completed the round in less than three hours, expect to lose a ball or two or three but old adage of hitting the ball straight was written for Superstition Springs. Throughly enjoyable!!

I have played this course five or six times over the last 18 months and was shocked to see the condition it was in. The rough was basically dirt, the fairways were mostly burnt out as if they haven’t been watered, the tee boxes were chewed up and the greens had dead spots everywhere. This used to be one of my favorite courses in the valley but at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were going out of business. Every lake except for one was completely dry and it looks terrible. The staff was friendly, they had a beverage cart running, and a grill at the turn, which was all great, but unless the course conditions improve drastically, I will not be returning.

Have not been to this course for quite sometime. Greens were in great shape. Some of the fairways had no grass in areas. Ponds need some work too much Duck weed and smelled terrible. In areas you had to stay on the cart path and walk to your ball because they were trying to get the grass to grow. Had a good time anyway.

Fun and challenging layout. Smelled like sewer on every hole and fairways and rough were in bad shape. Greens rolled nice. Wouldn’t recommend even at the 40$ afternoon price. I’m sure it was nice in its day but it’s been obviously neglected.
