Just Keeps Getting Better

I know this course is under new ownership and it just continues to get better. One of the things I like best about the course is they stay reasonably priced compared to everyone else. The course is challenging, a great layout, and greens roll real nice. There has been some improvement in the bunkers also. I appreciate the outdoor bbq at the turn, and everyone is very friendly here.

Cart path

Since Cart path only on 18 was backed up with three groups. Carts will not hurt that nice fairway.

Great staff

Staff and food at the turn were great. Greens were in good shape. The west of the course was dry and deserty. Course was narrow. Not good for amateurs. Didn’t love the course

Tee Boxes Need TLC

Course, in general, was in good playing condition. Tee boxes were sparse with grass and most-definitely needing leveling (almost all had issues). Fairways and greens were good. Rough was fair. Sand traps needed to be heavily raked so as to break-up surface from being compact. Pace was excellent, as was value.

Okay - hopefully getting better

Of course, is much the same as when we play it last year, but it appears to be on the mend. Still not much grass in the off Fairway areas. My biggest Concern was the exhaust fumes from the cart. Every time we came to a stop a cloud of unburnt gas fumes overcame us. They need to do some tuneup on the carts.

Nice south Phoenix course

Great layout. Greens were almost perfect. Some patchy areas on fairways. We’ll kept bunkers. Very friendly and professional staff. Club house and practice facilities were fantastic. Pace of play was a little slow. Waited on most shots. 4 1/2 hours early am on a Friday.

Foothills finally

Haven’t played here in years due to course conditions. Read a few reviews and took a chance on a hot deal. I must say not bad.. The fairways are in great shape and so are the greens which are running on the slow My only criticism no sand in the bunkers. I’ll be back.

Improving

Played this course for over 25 years, it's improving. Overseeding went well, looks like they increased the rate of seed they applied, and greens rolled well. Still no sand in bunkers and most tee boxes need leveled. Blackeye for the day was range was closed to clean pick and mow. I teed off at 12:15, a noon range closing is normal or acceptable. It does not take 5+ hours to perform this maintenance, unless you have only one (1) person performing all the tasks. Which, they had only one person doing all the work.
