The Lakes At Ahwatukee

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.

extremely over-sold and long wait at tee. no management intervention when some people play 3x tee-off at each hole!!!

We quit after taking two hours to play seven holes. Overbooked. Had to wait for a cart to come off 18. No range balls because range was not picked . Same person did range and carts

I played this course one week before their scheduled overseeding. The Greens were in good shape, but the rest of the course was lacking. For an executive course, the areas around the greens were very inconsistant, and the sand traps were attrocious, hard and borderline unplayable. I have played this course in the past(it had been about a year since the last time) and usually this course was in much better condition.

I understand that before overseeding a course can go through some phases where a course may not be pristine, but it is very unfortunate that Ahwatukee Lakes did not at least put a course condition alert on the available tee times.

I played from the tips which makes this short course a great deal more challenging, since most of the greens are protected on two or three sides by bunkers. The design makes even short par 4 holes challenging since there are sharp dog legs, protective trees, lakes and green complex bunkers to offset what might otherwise be an easy course. I played in the fall, prior to overseeding, which may have contributed to the mediocre (and occasionally poor) fairway conditions. The greens were a bit fast, in decent condition, and featured many difficult pin locations where an errant putt could easily roll by far enough to result in a 3 putt. My score suffered, but I really enjoyed the outing. Finishing in less than 3 hours and getting low-cost tee times were a great bonus.

Good course for beginners & average players. Prices are great!!!!!!!!!

The tee boxes are in rough shape and are not flat. The fairways are in decent shape. The greens are always in great shape. Great challenging executive course with lots of water and bunkers. Excellent course for beginners and those who want to work their irons. For the money, you can't beat it. The course had not yet been overseeded at the time that I played.

This is not a great course, but you get what you pay for. I had a simple question about a promotional deal on this site. One of the staff members wanted to turn it into an argument. I had already paid for my green fees, range balls, and beverages before I even brought it up. The staff isn't interested in appeasing customers, and honestly one of them was very rude. I will not be going back to that course. There are way too many options in Phoenix for golf, so this one is off the list of potentials. The pace of play was terrible as well.

course layout was very visible alot of bunkers and par 3's to give your short game a challenge.
