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.

worth the money, nice fairways

Friend told me to give the course a try, said fairways were in great shape. HOWEVER if you aren't in the fairway the rest of the grass is spotty and more weeds than grass. Greens are firm and anything other than a high pitch ball won't stay( starter did advise me of that). Greens were sandy and balls didn't roll true. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I played from the back tees and some challenging par 3's. For a beginner or someone out for a fun round this is an OK course.

Lovely Day to Play

Good layout, but the greens were my only concern. Several of the cups were raised a little so a putt would move left and the same type of putt 1/4 inch to the right would miss to the right. Also the speed of the greens were ok, but.inconsistent.
