Papago Golf Club

Course is in good condition and a challenge as usual. Greens have a lot of subtle undulations making putting a bit difficult.

Can't wait for them to build a permanent structure for the clubhouse and snack bar. The course is as good or better than many resort courses in the area. The Mobile box buildings for the clubhouse and snack bar are completely out of place

Played the day Papago reopened & as expected greens were slow and very bumpy but otherwise the course was in great shape. The round moved well (thanks to no cart restrictions) and I will certainly be going back in a month when the greens have time to return. This course is always fun but it’s the finishing three holes that keep me coming back for more.

The layout here is a real test. There are plenty of well placed bunkers, water, etc to make think out your shots here. The course is harder than it looks. The greens are generally pretty quick, with less break than they look. It tends to get breezy almost every day here and that only makes the course harder. There are some nice views of town, Papago hills etc. Overall, I believe it is the best muni in the Phoenix area. That being said, I do think the winter rates here are just plain too high!! They get as high as $90 to play here in the winter, and us poor residents don't get that much of a break on the fees.

We arrived at the course only find out they had no power carts after we paid for a power cart on Golf Now. The course staff member said they had to wait for a cart to come in before one could be given to us. A definite first in my golfing years.

We teed off 10 mins late as all the tee times were back logged. We finally were given a cart right after we had teed off. I was not impressed.

It was a municipal course and in decent shape for a muni. The pace of play was horrible. We waited on every shot. When all was said and done, our round was over 5 hours long. I would never go back to this course or recommend it to anyone.

thought the course has great potential for greatness, but is missing some serious cart paths, needs easier connection of course and layout directional helps! To charge the amount they do would expect more completed look. Had a great on course bathroom & water station with great bonus of crushed ice!! Thought the mobile trailer look took away from the overall quality! Actual course is nice layout & has potential for good scoring for all levels of golfers!

I've played Papago dozens of times and always enjoy it. The fairways and greens are good. I'm not impressed with the sand in the traps and try to avoid them. Greens are usually pretty fast and plenty challenging. Papago is an excellent layout. If you can get on for $30 or so this time of year, it is a great value.

Course conditions are fantastic. The greens aren't fantastic quite yet, but you can tell they're gonna finish up nicely. ... Skipping the conditions on this one, because this golf course is just an awesome challenge. You use every club. Beautiful mountains, and holes you wanna take pictures of. .... I wouldn't advise this course for high handicappers. But if you can swing it, you just GOTTA play this course. 4 stars, because a course has to be pristine for five, and its a rough summer everywhere. But the layout, challenge, and "golf art" you get, makes it the best 4 star on the board.

I had never played here and what a treat it was. Even though I started my round at noon, there was so much shade from trees it really wasn't bad at all. The course is in great shape!

Beware! This course is long! Multiple 200+ yard par 3s and not from the tips.

I highly recommend this course.

Course in very good shape. Greens a little slow for Papago, but very consistent. One of the best muny courses in country.

This course has challenges for those who fade and draw the ball. Par is achievable of you stay in the fairways, otherwise you will be scrambling.

Great value, great time and a great day.. It's called golf

We were a bit uncomfortable not having sand bottles on the cart to fill divots. We typically empty our bottles each 9 holes.

The course is in great shape, greens in great shape, Love playing this course again. I am 8 hdcp, played he tips, great challenge, cant wait til to play it again.

Overall very nice condition. Lush despite summer. Greens in very good shape.

I love Papago, definitely one of my favorite golf course in phoenix! Always a great pace of play, course is in great condition, I think the greens are great. And it's a great price everytime. I'd recommend Papago to any player!

The course is in great shape having been punched a couple weeks ago. Greens were fast and fair, fairways were great, and bunkers were nicely raked and very playable (big plus! I hate concrete bunkers). Got a foursome on a hot deal so value was awesome! $16. A+ from me for the whole experience.

This was my first time playing Papago. I thought the course was a nice fun layout. It was a pretty long course and a nice little challenge for a municipal course. I was most amazed by the greens and the shape. They rolled very well and were very consistent. I will definitely come play this course again!

Simply the best layout and conditioning -- given that it's mid-July in Phoenix -- I have ever seen in a municipal golf course.

Take note: I hardly ever post reviews, even for courses that I like very much -- TPC Champions and Southern Dunes, for example -- and even when I have had a comment-worthy bad experience -- Stone Creek comes immediately to mind.

But Papago is worth taking the time and trouble to say a word or two, and it will be worth any golfer's time and trouble to play -- again and again.

Bring all your clubs for this course, you'll need them! From the White Tees it's still 6300 yards, and with some nice doglegs, and a few ups and downs, you'll need to be able to hit a variety of shots. Course was in very good shape, greens very nice.
Water on the course at strategic locations, so your not dying of thirst (even in the 110 degrees). Nice mature trees here and there. Nice practice area for all shots(driving range, putting green, and chipping area). Very scenic location.
