Great course great value

I just played here. The greens are better than other courses I’ve played in the area and they look like they are going to hold up for a while. Great value and I think playing a mainly par 3 course like this helps improve your game. I have played this course before and this is the best shape I have seen it, especially the greens. I will be playing this as much as I can

I love Ahwatukee Lakes.

I love playing this course. Some areas are under repair but overall I enjoy it. I thought the greens were in great shape.

Not playing here again

Greens felt like I was putting on a bed of weeds, whenever you putt the ball bounces so much you have no idea where it’s going to go and how fast. If you miss a fairway or a green you’re left hitting out of dirt or dead grass.

has potential

The course layout can be confusing for a first time visitor but a number of the holes are interesting. It wouldn't come up on my Garmin watch so judging distances was a challenge. The addition of 150 yd stakes would be helpful and would probably assist pace of play. Greens look good but are bumpy making it difficult to judge pace and line. other than on the fairways there isn't a lot of grass and what rough there is tends to be small clumps and of course your ball always settles between 2 of them making it hard to get your club on the ball. On balance it was fun to play but only occasionally - I wouldn't want to play this course every day!

Waaaay over priced for the condition

As well all know golf is too expensive this time of year, and I am not one to normally write reviews but $60 was way too much for this course. EVERY SINGLE PUTT bumped and wiggled all over the place. Do not pay more than $30 to play here unless they get the greens in much better shape!

I would not play here again especially at the price. Needs A LOT of work and slow play on top. Waited 5-10 minutes every hole. Left after playing 15 holes.

Okay, not great

There are some fun holes to play but around the greens are a mess b/c there is no grass or just patches. Unless you hit perfect shots you are in for a not-fun round. The greens were a little bumpy too.

Good value executive length course

For the money this is a good little executive length course to take the kids or just get out and play without breaking the bank. It won’t be mistaken for a championship course but they don’t charge country club prices. Satisfied for what we paid.

Ahwatukee Lakes

To me this is the best bang for the buck. At a time while rates are still up, this is a great deal. The course is in nice shape and you cannot beat the price. Probably not for scratch golfer, but it will test any other golfer.
