The Lakes At Ahwatukee

This golf course is quite a challenge. It lives up to it's name, "The Lakes". If you are a first time player of this course, plan to lose several golf balls, as there is "hidden" water in front of the greens on several holes, which will cause increased scores, even with "good" shots.
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course!

Obvious they don't put any $$$ into maintaining the course. They had no one working in the kitchen selling coffee or anything, and acted like I was bothering him when I asked (took him away from reading his Golf Digest magazine). The staff, especially TJ, need to take a lesson in basic customer service. I've played there in the past, but no more. There are much better alternative executive courses, with people who know how to treat their customers.

could have been a lot better greens were covered in duck droppings and leaves if you play this course carry a broom for the greens before you put.

Ive played this course many times over the years and I hate to say this but ive never seen it in this bad of shape before. Besides the greens and tee boxes there is no other green grass on the whole course. The fair ways are all dead and brown grass with dirt oatches in them. Quite disapointing but i do like the course.

One the worst courses I have ever played. Terrible fairways.. Didn't hit off grass all day other than a few tee boxes.

Great course, some difficutly. Fairways in bad shape, a lot of water but know grass on fairways. Good greens.

This couse is a challenge as it is . However, part of the challenge is poor maintenance. Large parts of the fairways are dirt when they should be grass. Thec staff is friendly and helpful and the price is low but the course itself is in nearlr poor condition.

Great little course but not maintained has par 4s but had no fairways, grass only on the tee boxes and greens

Would not go back as the course is in very bad shape.

Course requires alot of work. most fairways were dead or dormant, sand traps were like cement I guess that is why alot of them did not have rakes

Greens rolled great but the fairways and bunkers need attention. Bunkers did not have much sand in them which makes them hard to play out of.

Given that we paid little to play, we got our money's worth. There were too many greens with duck poo. It actually affected some putts. The fairways were dry and crusty. Teeboxes not much more than sand at times.

But all in all, it was a fun day.

They didn't overseed the fairways. Hitting off dead grass. Greens not up to par. Tee boxes not level either.

This is a very challenging executive course. I would definitely recommend trying this course if you haven't played at Ahwatukee Lakes. There are bunkers and water that require great shots at almost every hole, or else. Good luck, it won't be easy! Have fun!

Inoperable, or no ball cleaners. No fairway grass.

The course played well in a driving rain with the greens rolling very good.

Fairways unkempt, greens shaggy, rough was dead, this course was in very poor shape.

Pros:

Close to home
Easy for girlfriend to drive greens
Nice putting / chipping green

Cons:

Very slow / too many players
Greens very bumpy and not shaved
Driving range is mats
Beer and wine only and expensive
No proper clubhouse

Nothing to add here, but I did have a great time on this course.

THE COURSE HAS GREAT FEATURES. I LIKE IT AS A BEGINNER.
