Disappointed

Greens are in terrible condition with only about 50% of the green surface with any grass. Staff indicated greens were renovated last summer with drought and water issues impacting vegetation establishment. Over seed apparently failed also.

Have always enjoyed the layout and course condition has traditionally been very good. Hopefully course management will bring the course back over the next few months.

All great till…….

Initially, arriving the attendant outside when I was walking up, took my clubs and put them on a cart. Inside, checking in the staff inside was also great. Starter when I got down to the range area was great as well. Everything looked great, until I got to the course from the range area everything looked fine fairways look good, rough looked lush and thick, and the two greens I saw looked good. But I was warned about the greens even before I teed off, but I did not expect them to be this bad. He explained to me that they were having a problem with their well water and the high salt content. They redid all the greens, not too long ago, and I guess this well water completely destroyed them. They were almost unputtable. Basically, if I hit the green, it was an automatic two putt unless I had a chance at a birdie or an eagle. Hope they get that green situation fixed but until then I won’t be back. I mean, I appreciate the first attendant. I saw warning me about the greens, but they need to really lower their rates until they get it figured out. That was almost just too much to pay for even everything else looking good.

Definitely will play again.

Staff - fabulous. Layout excellent. Greens recently sanded along with some parts of the fairways so conditions weren’t ideal (hence the lower rating on this question) but we worked on a 2-putt rule and everything went well.

We played a year ago, and will play again next time we are visiting the area.

Greens were not in playable condition

The Greens had a major problem, virtually unplayable. Apparently, their water supply from their well has too much salt and it is killing the grass on the Greens. They have started to use city water and hopefully they can save their Greens. If they can, this would really improved the course

Terrible greens

The fairways were in great shape, however the greens, OMG they were bad, lots of dead spots, lots of sand. Forget about trying to putt straight they were so rough. They should have made temporary greens in the fairway so they could fix the "real " greens would have been better.. Wont be going back, they charge a premium for a sub par course.

Horrible

I have played this course a few dozen times in the last thirty years but I will not return to it again. When I checked in I overheard the employee telling another golfer that the greens were in bad shape. I soon found that this was a huge understatement. Every green had huge areas of missing grass painted over with green paint to camouflage the sand. My partner that I was paired with said he was a member at this club and that the owners had replaced all the greens over the summer. Sure wish they had let me know this before paying my $75 green fee. I would’ve never wasted my money and encourage you not to waste your money by playing this course.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback.

We appreciate your continued support and understanding regarding the current condition of our golf course. We have recently experienced poorer than normal water quality, obvious extreme weather, which combined with an early overseed has seriously impacted the turf. We acknowledge that it is not at its best right now, but please rest assured that we are actively working to improve it.

Our team is implementing necessary maintenance and updates to ensure that the course regains its quality and playability. We have re-seeded and are using alternative water sources to rectify the issues asap. We are committed to providing you with a great golfing experience, and we anticipate that improvements will be noticeable in the very near future.

To repay you for your loyalty and patience, we will be hosting a 4-person Scramble tournament including golf, food, and prizes to the first 144 golfers for $25 each in the month of January. Stay tuned for further details via email marketing, course website, and social media posts.

Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy an enhanced course.

Where have the Greens gone!

I guess I should have read the reviews before booking - oops! I’ve never seen anything like this, there is very little grass on any of the greens. Sad to see such a nice track in such horrible shape. I thought Troon was supposed to improve this place?? If there is a silver lining we played in just under 4 hours which is hard to do in AZ during the Winter on a holiday weekend. Do Better Troon!

Very disappointed

Greens were terrible.

Can’t judge your play or score with such bad conditions as the greens were. Knock it close on your approach shot and then have to deal with no grass, painted surfaces and sand on the putting surface. Can’t judge or count on the roll of a putt or a chip shot.

Extremely disappointing!!

Skip this course

Played here many times before the 6 month closure for upgrades, to be honest the greens were better before they closed. Most greens actually have no grass, just sand and grass seed. Paid $69 and it was not worth $30, starter warned us some greens were rough, but that is the biggest understatement of all time. There was not a single green that wasn't sand and grass seed, puts just bounce through the rough surface. Very sad as I used to love this course.
