The Lakes At Ahwatukee

Not a bad course to practice on and your putting. But for the price not a bad course.

This course is under serious damage conditions! I would not recommend this course to any player!

The course appears to be poorly maintained. Ball washers were dry and some broken. None of the course washrooms were working...all toilets were plugged and there was no water available in the washrooms.

Course condition was terrible.Par 4 fairways had little grass, I was hiittng off of hard dirt.Weeds everywhere. The greens were in good condition. I will not play here again.

Poorly maintained tee boxes (only 1 tee box was in decent shape) and fairways were poor throughout. On course washrooms were a disgrace. This course could be so much better if given some TLC. Only real bright spot was that the greens were in great shape.

I play here when I don't have time to play a longer course. I had a 7:15am tee time and played with one other. We finished at about 10:30a. but were almost the first out. The course is by no means pristine, however, it's quite a challenging par 60 with all the water and a cheap weekday tee time. I recommend this course for all high handicappers.

Course is great , as usual but needs over-seeding of grass. Playing off bare dirt fairways is a problem for better golfers. Duffers can make the adjustment

If you are a somewhat serious golfer, this is a great course to take a friend who doesn't play much or who is just starting to learn the game. It is very rough around the edges, but the greens are decent. The layout is interesting and challenging with water hazards and sand traps. The water is clear enough to fish balls out (we did this several times). The price was great and it even included a cart. And, we played 18 holes in 2 1/2 hours.

I've played this course several times in years past and always enjoyed it. However I was very disappointed this time. 1st we had to wait 15-20 minutes past our tee time as they were out of carts and were waiting for returns. There were cut up storm damaged trees all over the course and not from recent storms. The greens were ok but certainly not great, they were very shaggy. It took us 4-1/2 hours and we didn't play the last hole as we had other places we needed to be. Group in front of us was very slow and a little inebriated, I think. There were several holes open in front of them on the back nine and never once did we see a ranger. I won't go back.

It took nearly 4.5 hours to finish this short executive course. We waited 25 minutes at the 6th hole to tee off. The course is in terrible shape. They do not re-seed for the winter so everything is dead. The bunkers are like concrete. The bathrooms are flooded. There are weeds everywhere in the rough. The only positives: The greens are actually not bad and in above-average condition. The cart concessions were frequent and friendly. The price is a bargain, the driving range is full-length and a bucket of balls are cheap, and the putting practice area is well maintained. I will not waste my time playing this course ever again. Book with caution.

Course was very poor condition in all aspects. Very little grass on the fairways. Not getting watered. Bunkers haven't been raked in weeks. Playing out of bunkers, like hitting off of blacktop. Doesn't look like greens have been mowed in a while.
Trees have been cut down some time ago, even sawed into sections and appeared they have have been left there for a good while. I will certainly scratch this course off of my list..

Played with member, said owner isn't making any money and wants to close, they have lawsuit against him to keep it open.
No sand in traps, everything hare as rock, greens won't accept shots. Beer girl was nice and beer tasted good!

nice course, good value, fairways in terrible shape

No such things as fairways. Its like hitting off concrete. Water was dirty and only green on was on putting green. Even that looked like a fairway. I was scared to use my irons and clubs. The sand traps are a joke. You get what you pay for. I dont plan on going to this course anytime in the future.

Fun course layout but horrible condition. Good course to take kids/beginners but pricey for the quality.

This course is not worth the time and money to play. It is not being maintained. It is nothing but brown, dead grass and dirt. The ball washers are empty. I will not play this course again.

This is the worse conditioned course ever. The person that works there said it is for sale and has not been watered or overseeded for three years and it looks like that is very true. This course should be removed from your list because if i ever play another in these bad conditions i will immediately quit using Golf Now

The fairways were so dried up and lacking grass that I have never seen anything like it, the greens were acceptable for the most part. The tee boxes were pretty much the same. The traps and there are lots of them all needed maintenance. There is no marshal so a person sneaked onto the course between us and group in front and then proceeded to play two plays (badly I might add). I told them in the pro shop after finishing and were concerned.

I live in Ahwatukee and I'm a "hack" golfer. I golfed here for the extreme value. The fairways are dry, but the greens were in good shape and the course was quite busy on a Monday afternoon. I golfed solo and had an opportunity to speak with a number of groups out golfing this day, I heard no complaints. Everyone was out having fun. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Much of what you read on the course conditions is true,.... but I found maintenance workers out picking up debris and the course was fine to my way of thinking. South Mountain in the background, the lakes, and the palm trees make for nice background scenery. For the price you pay, the value is hard to beat. I look forward to playing here again.

Bridges feel like they will collapse. Some greens are completely covered in duck feces. Lots of sand traps and water make the course fairly challenging. Would be much better if they repaired the bridges, cleaned up the greens once in a while and leveled the tee boxes a bit.
