The Lakes At Ahwatukee

Do something about the rest room !

Otherwise a good experience

I used to enjoy Awatukee Lakes before it was destroyed. It will take time and money to bring the course back to its previous excellence. It needs more players to help with costs.

We really enjoyed this course!!! We are beginners!

This is a good layout, but the greens are not good. Affordable price

Good course for the price! Greens were a bit rough but honestly better than some of the other “cheaper” courses during this time. Shorter course with mostly par 3s and honestly fairways were in great condition. Staff was very friendly and helpful!

Played this course today with my wife and friends. I was pleasantly surprised after reading a few negative reviews online. Fairways and greens were well kept. Overall good value and staff was great

ranger person was extremely rude and hassling everyone. The greens looked like they

were painted because they were so bad and hard as a rock.

the tee off areas were kind of wierd set up, not lined up with fairways

The course was in really bad shape for what it costs to play there. I understand they probably had just seeded it but it was really tough to putt with so many seeds on the green.

The pace of play was brutal. It was a log jam on every hole with 2-3 groups (one even 4) on every hole. There was no structure or no Marshall to police it. The groups ahead weren’t letting any smaller groups play through either. We also got there before our team time and had to wait for 10 minutes after our scheduled tee time for us to start. Overall just not a great experience in this round.

The course is definitely nothing to write home about. Decent fairway condition but divot city on the tees and around the greens. Pace of play was slow; took 4 hours for a par 60 18-hole which is quite long. Layout was good and lakes were clean but ZERO amenities here. They should probably be charging in the $20-$30 range for what you get. You could easily play somewhere far nicer for just a few bucks more.

Worst part of the day was the owner taking advantage of our group. We paid for a foursome and had a no-show. I understand that's our responsibility to eat the fees, but then they still paired someone with us (which is no problem) and refused to refund us for our fourth. If we pay for 4, we should be able to play as our group (even if it's 3) and not have them throw someone in with us. So they basically made extra money on our tee time. A simple voucher for a future visit or something would have done the trick and got me to return but he was rude and demeaning about it.

Won't be returning here.
