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.

Okay for the money

It’s a goat track, but for $40 it’s hard to complain. We needed a last minute tee time so we still had fun. Only a couple greens had dead spots. This course could be cool if it wasn’t half dead.

Rough, Rough Shape

Used to play this course quite often years ago. It was never in excellent shape but 10 years ago it was a good value and the course maintenance was adequate. Today, it's a complete disaster. Drove the fairway and still hitting of loose soft dirt or worse. My golf bag was filled with dust as most of the course is almost native desert again. Cart paths are concrete and haven't been maintained for what looks like 20 years. Not a flat spot anywhere on the tee boxes, etc.... This is maybe a $15 course and really needs a lot of help to get it back to anything reasonably playable. Disappointed in how far this course has fallen.

Condition if the course

I wish your course would try to improve the conditions of your fairways , greens and tee boxes! You have the potential to be a nice course if the ground crew and the course maintenance crews work to improve the conditions!! People like myself would play here more often.

Course is Unplayable

Played here on Tuesday and conditions were ok. Came back today and truly unplayable. Giant dirt pit and areas where there is green are weeds. Was so miserable quit after 7 holes. Don’t waste your time.

What happened.

Every year I tell myself this place needs some serious changes to make it a nice course again it is worse than last year. I guess the only thing I can say that was ok were some of the greens. I hate to bash a course but this place continues to get worse every year. It's to the point that if you don't put some serious money and effort to fix the course it WILL become a loss. Right now it is like playing on dirt in many places. I really hope someone saves this course. Until something happens I don't see me being a patron of this course. Someone please do something or sell it to someone who will.

Getting Better

Compared to last time we played the greens and aprons are much better . Looks like they’re getting ready for the Los Vegas Scramble on Sunday 6/11/23.

Some of the fairways could use a little more water and less airiation - some of those fairways look like battle field.

Thank you so much for putting sand in the sand traps. Still a few flooded stops that real cut down your distance on drives

Was a holiday Monday so the course was stacked. Course was in bad shape only few greens decent. Very little fairway quality. It’s end of may so starting to dry out.

Ok course but overpriced. Prob at 25/35 at most

Enjoyable Round of Golf

First Time playing this course. Had heard a lot of negative comments about this course. But have a friend who is a member and told me that it was being improved. My wife and I enjoyed the layout and course conditions. We play a lot of courses in the valley, mostly through purchases of Golf Moose vouchers or Tee Time specials. We like the HOT weather, so with the good summer prices and the lack of crowds, summer golf in the Phoenix area is perfect for us! We will definitely play this course again.

Horrible Condition

This course is in horrible condition. A mix of dead grass and dirt. The greens are the worse I have ever seen and mostly unplayable. This facility obviously does not know how to maintain the course. Will not be back.

Diamond in the Rough

This is wonderful course when properly watered and maintained - unfortunately this was not the case when we played

- the fairway were dry and flooded in some places

- the greens Review of Ahwwere in terrible condition, making it difficult to get a true roll

- difficult to call them sand traps when majority have very little sand -

Will not return:

- until you improve your watering and maintenance practices and - - to me each your ranger on how to keep the flow of the players moving

- do something about the fungus on the greens before you have no greens

Won't be back

Cart paths are falling apart, too many muddy areas with no grass or sparse grass, greens poor overall, groundskeepers in play on a par 3 green and did not leave when I alerted them that I was ready to tee off. They stayed on the green and waved for me to hit. I hit my tee shot into the water and skipped the hole.

Good track, slow play, poor greens

This course is not transitioning well from winter to summer. The fairways are rough and the greens have large patches of brown creating bumpy uncertain putting given that the cups are located within these areas. Add in slow play and paying over $60 for it all and it wasn't a good value. Hoping it gets better, but won't be back this summer if not.

Not a bad track

Didn’t know what to expect because I have never played here before but I couldn’t beat the price. The fairways and greens were in pretty good shape minus a few greens that were bumpy. I wasn’t expecting a 5 star golf course but was pleasantly surprised with this one. Sand traps were maintained and tee boxes pretty solid. 10/10 would recommend
