Papago Golf Club

We were looking for a course next to the airport. This was perfect. The course was in excellent condition and the right amount of challenge.

The staff was so friendly and stored our bags, etc. We stayed for lunch while waiting for our Lyft, the meal was very good.

Other than the 5 hour pace of play, I loved everything about Papago. There was some kind of mini-tour event the day I played, so that might have caused the slow pace. Greens were in great shape but unbelievably fast. New clubhouse is awesome. All staff members were very courteous and friendly. For the money, this course is as good as any I play in the Valley.

Played on a Sunday front nine in under two hours. Back nine little over two. Just short of four hours overall. Bunkers very thin. Greens super fast but true! Hard to get a shot to check. Played lots of bump and runs. Would definitely play again if rate is good.

After playing 5 or 6 rounds at some of the high end courses around Phoenix that were a bit of a let down, Papago was a lovely surprise. Very good shape, great welcome from staff and a lovely facility. Plan to make this my "home course" while on holiday in Phoenix

One slow round. Loved the course. Excellent conditions. Some of the best greens I’ve ever put it on. One of the slowest rounds ever. The marshal came by three times and apologize for the slow play of the group two ahead of us. But never did he ask them to pick up and catch up even after being nearly 2 holes behind the group in front of them. Why have a Marshall at all.

Really enjoyed our first round at Papago golf course. Nice range and practice facilities. Excellent municipal track. Conditions were fine overall. Greens were fast and true. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back again.

Hour and a half to play last 3 holes, $24.00 for 2 vodka sodas at bar will not go back definitely not a $100.00 plus course

The course and amenities were solid but the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff was amazing. Every interaction was met with professionalism and concern about how our experience was going. Well done and hope to be back on a warmer day!

Was expecting a little more, from what I had heard. It was nice, but only a few holes had the scenery. Greens were hard and fast.

A very interesting and well designed course. The full tee sheet and late start from frost delay limited us to 15 holes played. Play backed up. Never saw a marshal. But the setting is great and the course excellent for average golfer playing from shorter tees.

Greens were very fast, challenging but true! At least 14 holes were. Couldn’t tell you about last 4 because pace of play was so bad. Tee time was well before 2pm and dark at 6:30. Should have been plenty of time. No marshals were ever around and rest of the staff didn’t seem to care.

I had high expectations based on players who had played it. First off, the front nine took nearly 3 hours. The course is not attractive. The sand traps are some of the worst I have ever played out of -- a thin layer of sand on top of hardpan. The layout is boring. The only positive about this course are the greens. They are smooth and fast, but given all the other negatives about this course, it's just not enough. I will never go back

Lots of undulation on greens depending on pin placement

Running 13 for sure !!

Greens are true so that definitely helps

Great day and 4:15 hours on a Saturday !

Very nice people in pro shop + great cart guys Marshall, had a real nice time!!! nice course

Last minute booking was a success!!! Great course layout and Looooong! You will be using Driver all day. Pace of play was perfect as well

While I couldn't quite bring myself to give Papago an overall rating of five stars, let me say that I'm a big fan of Papago. First off, it's not your typical desert golf course. The beauty of the surrounding Papago buttes, views of downtown and flow of the holes on this classic parkland layout is great. The greens with their slope and false fronts always get your attention, and the course is certainly challenging, but not overly difficult.

What really does it for me are all the other things at Papago, especially the new clubhouse and practice facilities. And we're not even talking about the new digs for the Arizona State golf teams. The range here is one of the best in area, and the new clubhouse is among my favorites anywhere. Using an open concept, it's a great place to spend an early evening, watching players come in or simply taking in the regular live entertainment. The food at the grille is terrific as well, and the bar features several local craft beers. I also like the open golf shop concept.

played a lot of courses including a number in UK and Papago is right up there. Had the feeling of a UK links course - just in the desert. Also very impressive was new clubhouse - completes the package. Love that they have ASU practice facility on site, encouraging to see so many young people on the property - well done Papago and City and ASU.

Papago is in great shape for being in mid summer. I am beyond excited for their facilities to be done. The driving range will be fantastic when it is done. Playing from the tips is difficult here. Didnt shoot the best round but I will be visiting again soon.
