Bang for your buck

Course still needs a lot of work, but it’s still a course where you can have some fun and still be somewhat tested. Keep in on the green and you won’t have trouble. Miss the grass and you will have a hard time finding your ball. Great place to sharpen your skills or if you’re new to golf. 3.7/5

First time here

We are visiting friends in AZ and asked them to go along with us to this course. The price was good, and we were able to make our T Time only one day ahead. There were a lot of dry, non-grassy areas (yes, I know we are in AZ) and ALOT of sand traps to deal with, but the fairways were pretty decent. Some signage would be nice to know how to get to the first tee:). The staff members that we did talk to were nice. No beverage service or bar carts available when we played.

BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

It’s a decent course for the price! The greens are fast and fareways are well maintained. It’s a little rough outside of the fareway, but still manageable. This course has potential!!

A round a the Lakes

Was impressed with the course after being closed so long. Greens rolled smooth and the sand traps had good sand. The course did not pop up on my garmin, so yardage was a challenge for second shots on par fours. I look forward to playing the course again.

Needs a lot of updating

No clubhouse, guy outside on a picnic table checking in golfers. Didn’t expect this and was really disappointed that golf now has golf courses like this. Next time I’ll do more research on golf course before booking

to may playing

The pas was slow, there was a group of 6 allowed to play in front of us. There was no marshal and no one to complain too. It is an industrial site with some green patched. Not a golf course. I will never play here or let anyone else.

Has potential!

With time and care this could become a nice executive course. For right now, it’s a little rough.
