The Lakes At Ahwatukee

The resuscitation of The Lakes is progressing. I for one am glad it’s happening. I’ll keep playing here and I’m excited to see how the place evolves.

I think this is the course that closed for a while and it still looks like it! the layout wasn't too bad and definitely challenging. The greens were NOT great - very bumpy. The course had lots of tall weeds.

There was water on the front, but the lakes on the back were empty and full of weeds. The fairway wasn't bad.

It was inexpensive and I was playing with beginners, so it was fine for my needs for that day.

This course is a work in progress but I’m glad it’s open and available, at least there is someplace to play that is not booked up a month in advance this time of year.

Very nice course for the money. Greens still a little rough, especially the back nine. But to be expected, since the back nine opened last fall. Very nice layout. Will play again.

Booking at 9 minute is unfair for the type of player on this course ; backup on every hole. Some irrigation would help. No GPS available & hole signage is inaccurate. Has some potential.

I understand they are working on getting the course in shape after being closed for a while. We waited at least 5 minutes on every tee box to hit. Also the portapotty by the clubhouse was full of waste and TP to an inch below the seat, at least have it emptied out before it gets that gross.

We played this course for the first time expecting a normal golf day and it was anything but that. First off we show up and no one told us where the 1st hole was so we drove around for a while before we finally stopped and asked someone. We had a scheduled tee time and ended up behind because everything was backed up. We had to wait minimum of 10 minutes each hole before we could even play and after putting we had to wait for 2 groups before we could drive again and we played for over 2 hours and didn’t even make it to hole 6. We were so backed up and my wife had to use the restroom and the only thing available was a porter potty which she reluctantly used and it was disgusting! The crap in the hole was piled so high she was afraid it would touch her if she sat down. Not to mention all the trash everywhere, they clearly don’t take pride in their course. We ended up leaving at hole 6 and couldn’t even play a full 9 holes because we couldn’t even move at a reasonable pace. Do yourself a favor and save your money for a golf course that actually cares about their space.

Love this course as it offers challenging holes which allow you to improve your golf game. Cost is cheap by winter standards offering a much better experience than the more expensive courses. Some holes may not be well maintained but I've seen holes is worse condition at more prominent and much more expensive courses. Course offers ease of play, without being harassed by rangers to keep up. No amenities on the course, but you can bring your own.

Hands-down, my worst round of golf coursewise ever. The toilets are porta potties there’s trash everywhere, female undergarments bottles of what you name. It looks like there’s bodies out in the lakes. The worst.

Played for the first time, definitely worth the money. Laid back staff and layout for beginning golfers or anyone that isn’t a hardo. Fairways and greens were nice, lots of weeds and dirt in the rough but overall the course was well kept. Will definitely be back with the boys!

Still sad about the destruction to the course. Hope they are able to fully recover.

For just reopening pretty decent, you can tell they are trying to get it cleaned up decent little course it's got some fun holes definitely needs to have markers for distances but that will come in time nice little course I'm playing again tomorrow so two times in a week
