Ahwatukee Country Club

From how horrible this course has been in the past it’s definitely improving but still has a way to go

I played this as a single for $41 in the winter which is a steal for a par 72 course! All of the staff was extremely friendly from the pro shop, cart return, etc. The course layout is nice & long. It plays green to tee which is nice to never see another fairway. It’s lined with houses and trees but it’s not too narrow (the back 9 narrows). The driving range and putting greens were nice.

The bad…. The greens were in rough shape. Lots of bumps and some patches. The fairways had a lot of mud and some bare spots. The pace of play took us 4hr 45min (we shot in the 80’s). At the turn, we were approached and asked how the pace was, we were honest and they said they’d send a ranger, but we never saw one.

The better…. I’ve never played here before but the 3 guys I was paired with have. They all said, even though the course wasn’t in great shape, it is drastically improved from the years prior. I know the course was bought last year, is under new ownership and they have been making improvements left & right.

Bottom line…. You’re not getting a PGA quality course here (yet) but for most of us average golfers, you can’t beat the price!!! I’ll go back and hope to continue to see improvements!

some of the fairways were wet. the greens on the front nine need fill in the back was ok.

The pace a play was good on the front and slow on the back.

we got a deal

Staff was nice but the course conditions were SO BAD. It's the worst combination of swamp and dirt. The grass is soggy and swampy with casual water everywhere. There's also vast expanses of dirt. The greens were shaggy and very inconsistent. I played here about 4 years ago and it was trash then. Thought it might have gotten better. It has not. I gave it another try because it was fairly cheap at $50. Lesson learned. I will never come back to this course. It's embarrassing how bad it it. Don't waste your time or your money.

Pace of play was poor. We had 2 groups in front of us who were together. The 1st group were very slow and a big gap opened up in front of them. We finally saw a Marshall on hole 18, but he just put his head down and drove past.

Practice facilities were OK.

Greens were slow and inconsistent. Fairways were very patchy and the sand traps were rock hard and mostly unplayable.

Lots of dirt spots on fairways.

Many divots left on greens.

I fixed 3-4 most every green.

5 hours and 50 minutes for 18 holes is unacceptable. Never saw a course marshall out there.

Our 18 holes took 5 hrs 50 minutes on a week day. They need to get some marshals out there. That’s unacceptable

Played as twosome and only slightly held up for just over 3 hour round. Course is in great condition.

The course is in rough shape. Lots of bare areas. 80% of the greens were shaggy and slow. Pace of play was slower than necessary.
