Now you can play in Peoria. Book a round at Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia, which Golf Digest magazine gave five stars out of five, an honor only a couple dozen North American golf courses share - no other in Arizona. Courses with the distinction include Bethpage Black, Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes, TPC Sawgrass and Spyglass Hill. Five stars mean, according to the magazine, "Superb. Golf at its absolute best. Pay any price to play at least once in your life."

Gary Panks designed Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia to enhance the existing environment, and to make the course dramatic and playable. It's a round that should be on the list for a golf trip to Arizona. The par-72 course measures 7,291 yards from the Tournament tees.

After a round at Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia head to the Verde Grill for foods both familiar and inventive.

Favorite Local Course

vistancia is one of the nicest courses in AZ. The staff is terrific. The practice facility is second to none. The course layout is challenging but fair. Hole number 3 is possibly the most difficult in the state. Wonderful experience. Great cart service. Overall a great day!

Back in shape

I played here at the end of May this summer and the course was in rough shape to put it mildly. Well, that time has passed. The course is back in shape. Fairways, tees and greens are all back and have plenty of grass. The course didn't get any easier, however. You still have to place your shots or suffer the consequences. (I suffered on a few shots.)

I played late afternoon so pace of play was excellent. Aside from a few players who were futzing around - who did let me through - there were no issues.

The staff could not have been more helpful or courteous.

Excellent Shape

The course was in excellent shape an pace of play was great. NOTE there are many tee boxes. As a 14 I played the white as suggested on the score card. Problem is the extra yards are on the par four and made for a long second shot. Will play the combination the next time. Thoroughly enjoyed the layout and course conditions. Also the food and customer service was excellent.

Golfnow value

The course was in good shape even though it was August. There were some fairway bare spots but not that it affected play. The course played longer than the yardage because of the wet fairways due to watering. The greens were not quick (not slow either) but the humidity was up and there is not a lot the greens keeper can do about that. The pins were set tough so that helped the challenge. This is a course that in the past just hasn't fit my eye, but playing it twice in one week has given me a better feel for it. I will play it again.

One of the better Arizona summer courses.

Can't say enough good things about Trilogy. Arizona courses in the summer can really get ragged but not Trilogy. Everything was well manicured and green. The staff was extremely friendly and the cart girl made it around to us 4 times during our 18 holes. We played on a Monday morning and never saw anyone in front of us or behind us. All 4 of us played pretty good for a course this difficult. Lots of desert and water and sand to make this challenging for every golfer. Oh and did I mention they had dollar beers. Who does that? Do yourself a favor and make the drive to play Trilogy, you won't regret it.

Excellent Course

Reading previous reviews from earlier this summer had me cautious in teeing them up at Trilogy as I had never been here before and it's quite the distance away from my house. The people who left reviews about the course conditions being terrible HAD TO have been snowbirds. The course was in amazing shape and I was blown away that I was able to play it for only 20 dollars. The greens are nice and fast but fair and they hold balls very well. Although my score wasn't as nice as the course, I will caution that this is not a good course for beginners. It is a very target oriented course and there are many hazards. If you're a 15+ handicapper like myself, be sure to bring 12+ balls because the desert on each side of the fairways is hungry! I will definitely be returning to this course once I polish up my game!

POOR CONDITIONS

I would call this my Home Local course since I live minutes from the course. The Bermuda grass has not come in for another year which is rather disappointing. Nearly every fairway has bare areas of exposed dirt. The truth is that you will need to take a drop in order to hit from grass in almost any situation if you hit the ball in the fairway. This is extremely sad for a course that advertises itself to be a 5 star golf facility. This is so far from the truth and the conditions are embarrassing if you ask me.

My recommendation is they should close the course for 3 months like another course in the area did last year so they can over seed the Bermuda. They reality is that the grass is not going to grow in which is what they have said for 2 of the last 3+ years. Look I live minutes from the course and will no longer waste my money here when the course is in this kind of condition.

Look the staff is friendly as always however I feel bad for them to have to make excuses for the conditions. I also feel sorry for the Trilogy members that make this their home course even though I hear some have been playing elsewhere because of the conditions.

So please I beg the operators to close the course and do what is necessary to bring this course back into the kind of conditions that is warranted of the 5 star rating. They do the golfers as dis-service by booking tee times and taking the money of golfers who make a reservation expecting to play a course in good condition.

And please do not say it did not transition well. Seems other courses have figured it out. Thanks

Hi @u000002398019

we're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. Good news is bermuda grass has been spotted, repeat, it has been spotted! Phew! Our energies have been focused on rectifying the conditions, and that shy little grass is finally waking from its winter slumber. Thank goodness! Come back soon, and you'll see a massive difference - Kate

Normally fairly priced to match course conditions. Feel like it was a money grab as every fairway was dirt and not disclosed upfront .

Hey chris6993100 - our summer pricing is in effect and reflects summer conditioning - that said, we have experienced a lag in our bermuda growth. Our Course Superintendent has been giving it a good talking to - and along with all the sciency stuff which i'm sure you already know about, it seems to be working! Come on back with your bounce back offer, you'll play for just $27 any time through the summer and see a big improvement in the fairway coverage. Kate

If you like terrible fairways conditions play here

I didnt realize the fairways were in such poor condition and no one mentioned it to me before I started playing. Very very very slow pace of play. Basically wasted five hours of my life.
