Papago Golf Club

Played here twice this week. Staff was great, clubhouse / restaurant was really good. Beverage cart came around frequently. Greens and Fairways are in great shape. I like this course will be playing it a lot this year.

Not worth the money. Also when the course is cart path only they should notify you prior to booking a time or paying for the round, not when you’re getting in the cart.

It was a very disappointing day. The cart path is all dirt with a few exceptions around greens and tee boxes. Otherwise we swallowed dust all day. The pace of play was almost 5 hours. There was no fresh water in any of the water stations. The bathrooms were closed so we had porta potties to use. It’s definitely not worth what we paid.

Course was in bad condition. Pace was slow and Marshall was rude. Carts locked up randomly. Better courses in same area

Fairways were inconsistent

Greens were also inconsistent

Cart paths were a disaster

Hard to believe this course is a college staple.

I hadn’t played this course in a couple of years. I was super excited to see what renovations were made since it became ASU’s golf teams main course. I knew a bunch of money was put into it, and that’s why the prices went up. Well the clubhouse was great, so was the restaurant. Unfortunately, that’s where it stops. The course wasn’t in terrible condition, but just barely. The carts are basically cart path only, the problem with that though is there really aren’t any cart paths. The greens were 50/50. You’d have one in amazing condition, but then the next one would be in awful condition. It is definitely not worth the price tag. With so many courses in the valley, it’s better to just spend your money else where.

Will not play this course ever again. Bad management of tee times. Staff not greeting you as you walk up. POOR all around golf course for a Twilght rate that was way too high

Been quite a while since I played the new Papago since ASU made it their home course, and I must say it's finally starting to come into it's own and realize it's full potential. The track itself has never been in question, one of the great layouts anywhere in town.

But last time I played following the arrival of the new ASU practice facility, the course was still in its rough-around-the-edges condition from years ago. That's starting to be corrected and if they keep going this way, Papago will truly become the gem it always should have been. They're cleaning up the edges around the holes and strenthening the layout even further. Green complexes are becoming world class and care of the park has improved greatly. While the greens are still recovering from aeration a couple weeks ago, it was still a treat to play and it's easy to imagine the nations best college golfers competing here each year. I'm very proud of what they are doing with Papago and very optimistic that the facility is on it's way to a true world class golf experience (and starting to be worth what they have been charging since ASU arrived!).

I found this golf experience to be very enjoyable overall… sure the course wasn’t perfect but for the most part it was pretty nice especially for the price.

Was recommended to this course by a few people

Pace was awful, course was a basic muni.

Pace of play sucks and no ranger to be seen. Staff super friendly though, and beautiful bar and restaurant to finish at sundown. Hard to beat the view.

Greens we're covered with sand and it irritates me to no end when courses don't say a thing about this and still charge premium rates. Big thumbs down on that.

Might play again someday, but I'll be asking specific questions about course conditions, prior. Don't book online with a call first.

Flew in town with clubs, just for them to tell me I didn’t have a tee time. I had a confirmation email and all. So basically flew with clubs for no reason!! Never again, thanks!

The facilities were awesome! The course was in good shape and the amenities were fabulous. Would definitely play it again.

I love the layout of this course. Lots of winding fairways up and down the hills of Papago Park. There is a wide variety of holes that offer lots of different looks throughout the round. Plenty of good views of the valley too.

This course gets a lot of play and the conditions were not great. Greens are a pretty beat up in areas and lots of bare areas in the fairways. I understand the conditions being less than attractive, but pace of play was very bad. We were running about a 5.5 hour pace and had to quit due to darkness. I hope they can work on getting people moving faster out there. It really is a fun place to play.

The course was in rough shape when we played. It appeared some greens had to be re-sodded. That happens, but at $200 this was way overpriced.

Positive: Great layout featuring hilly terrain, elevations, and tricky greens. Fairways and greens were in great condition. Green speeds were average to slow on the day we played, but they rolled well. Can’t say enough about the friendly and helpful staff. Dead wiry rough at this time of year makes controlling your shot more difficult.

Negative: Played on a Tuesday. Course was jammed and play was really slow. We started as a foursome at 2:00 and were not playing particularly fast, but we still waited on every tee and came in at 6:50. Never saw a ranger. Saw the refreshment cart twice.
