Rating 70.8

The sun shines 350 days a year in Phoenix and you can enjoy this factor at Ahwatukee Country Club. "Ahwatukee" is Crow Indian for "house of dreams", but this could easily be the "golf course of dreams".

The semi-private Ahwatukee Country Club offers an 18-hole golf course designed by John Bulla in 1974 that is open year-round and includes a driving range, as well as a cart included in the greens fee. The golf course is par-72 and measures 6,713 yards from the championship tees.

The Ahwatukee Country Club golf course features a fairly wide-open layout, but has out-of-bounds areas on either side of the fairways - including some with houses, so watch out for those windows - as well as water hazards on some holes. The putting greens play fast.

After a tight front nine on the Ahwatukee Country Club golf course, things open up on a razor-sharp par-4 dogleg 10th hole, with no chance to cut corners: there's a towering forest to the left.

Nice day at Ahwatukee GC

Fairways and greens were in good shape. Not many on the course in the afternoon, so pace of play was great.

Poorly Maintained

The course was in very rough shape. The greens were very bouncy and didn’t run true at all. The fairways were okay, but if you go off at all, then you’re in mud or sticks. They don’t have any type of rough or grass outside the skinny fairway.

Uppity Course Marshall

I don’t really have much to complain about with the exception of the fact that we kept being pushed to tee off earlier than our 9:36 tee time. It was a Saturday and there was a men’s league starting at 10…The Marshall made sure to run into us multiple times to remind us of the men’s league. Our pace of play was fine, but each interaction cost us at least a minute… I think we understood it at the first time he shared.

If there’s going to be so much anxiety about the men’s league, perhaps don’t allow tee times so close to the start of the men’s league?

Ahwatukee play

The course was in better shape than I’ve seen in a long time. They still need to put more sand in the traps. Of the three I played out of, one of them I got through to the dirt below. The greens were really good. The fairways need a little more grass on the outer edges and there was still some sparse areas on the fairways. Overall, it is a lot better. They need to allow 9 hole tee times. Not everyone has a full day to play 18 holes. I think they are missing out on some more income from paying players. One other thing, your driving range needs work, including yardage markers and new mats. Most of the mats are worn out. They also need to get squeegees to remove the water that builds up under and around the mats. I am always being hit by water splashing on me from the player hitting behind me.

5 Somes

Tee boxes and greens in very good condition. Fairways marginal. Good pace of play until I ran into two back to back fivesomes on 12th hole. Never saw a marshal. I’m ok with afternoon fivesomes but never in the morning

Friendly Staff but Rough Course and Agonizing Pace of Play

The staff was super friendly, and the price point was pretty low. This is probably the roughest course I have ever played, with vast swaths of dirt making up significant portions of fairways. I would have still had fun if not for the lack of awareness and urgency from the foursome in front of us. We spent most of our time watching them from the tee box as they took multiple mulligans to move 40 yards up the fairway, usually in a side-to-side fashion. I would only recommend this course if you were desperate.

Course upgrades really making a difference

I golf this place last year and it was a good course for the price. But now under new management and course upgrades and detail are really making the difference. Enjoyed golfing here

Amazing what water does to grass.

This is a wonderful course when maintained properly - with the new ownership the course in on it’s way back. Moving the golf shop and club drop was genius - you don’t have to climb the stairs and it’s close to the snack bar. They would be wise to keep green fees down during this winter season to built back their following.

Best Improved

Ahwatukee Golf Course is much imporved since the last time (June, 2023) I played there. The cart path has been repaired/replaced. The overseeding was very successful. The tee boxes have been improved. The greens were a little slow, but that is to be expected at this time of year. The club house is waiting for a full time cook (Oct. 28), so the food selection was quite small (sandwiches, hot dogs, chicken tenders, fries, onion rings, etc.). The quality and quantity was good. I'll be back to play it again later this year or early next year.

All good except the greens

Love the layout. Fairways were in good shape, many bald spots all over, not sure if this is normal - kinda seemed like it. Greens were long and very slow however the worst part was they were very inconsistent which I dislike more than anything else. You can have shaggy greens just make sure they are consistent. These are not. They had just reopened after overseed so hopefully they get the greens dialed in. If they do it will be a great course to play.

Nice layout-friendly staff

Course is close by and has a driving range (good feature) and I wanted to get a round in —the staff is friendly —the course layout is good but the overall course conditions are “rough” at best

Looks like they put seed down but didn’t aerate ??

Seed is just sitting on hard pan ground ?

Overall course conditions are in need of overhaul

Do not play here

This place is possibly the worst place to play in all of Arizona the fact that they are charging 50$ a round to play here is breathtaking I feel like the most is pay is 15$ the greens are trash might as well just hope you hit a putt the fairways dear god I’ve never hit a strait drive 280 then have to hit off solid dirt and let me tell you there is zero grass on this course might as well go to the desert and hit golf balls in the sand

Course Experience

The staff was welcoming and friendly and helped us with everything we needed. The courses were well-kept, and there was no confusion between 18 holes.

I did not see a map for the course, but we had a wonderful time.

Inexpensive, Fast, But Conditions Need Improvement

A fast loop around midday in the AZ sun. A nice layout, greens were fair, but other aspects of course condition need improvement. Recent improvements to clubhouse. Now needs attention to fairways and cart paths. Overall, a decent value for the money.
