Papago Golf Club

Course was under massive construction and noone let us know. Expressed my dissatisfaction with the pro staff and all I got was "sorry." Won't be back any time soon.

Hey golfnow, how come there was no headsup about Papago being completely under construction and a joke to take out of town friends to??? The staff said they have told you guys to post it, but I saw nothing... I was embarrassed for suggesting papago and also making my friends pay $60 to play this course which is usually worth 60 but was worth about 15 due to the conditions... golfnow warns us when the greens are punched or overseed is happening.... please put a warning about papagos conditions to save the next host the embarrassment. Im sure they would appreciate that.

IF YOU VALUE MONEY AND TIME AND YOU ARE A DECENT GOLFER WHO ACTUALLY KEEPS SCORE THEN DO NOT PLAY THIS GOLF COURSE UNTIL THEY FINISH CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION. Sorry for the caps, but I need to make it clear that they have piles of dirt and rock all over the cart paths and fenced-off areas where they are building a fantastic golf course in the next few months. Right now the temporary greens are just stuck in the middle of the fairways on 4 different par 4s and it makes the course an unfit golf course for real golfers. If you want to bring your girlfriend out here and fool around and hit the ball around and have fun without keeping score then by all means come here and goof off because the challenge is a joke. Bring any first-time golfers here to learn but if you have a single digit handicap you will hate yourself for getting stuck here and not really having to putt out on 4 holes because it's impossible. Not greens, but just grass in an old fairway with a flag in it. I'm 100 positive this will be a fantastic golf course once they have completed the renovation, but right now, don't come here if you are a passionate or serious player, you will be disappointed.

I am surprised they are getting away with selling tee times when 4 holes are shortened and have a temporary green made in the middle of fairways. I feel short changed and I led on. I was not warned nor was it mentioned that your course is under a full renovation and is not ready to play a full 18 of real quality golf. Why are you charging full rack? I recognize you will be awesome when it complete but right now it's a massive mess out there. The temp greens are a joke and the par 4s at 200 tp 240yds are a joke. I will not give anyone a reccomendation to play here until this massive overhaul is complete.

Course was restricted to first 9 holes and 2 of them holes have temporary greens. Which in all honesty, we’re no more than a circle painted on the fairway with a hole and flag. Not puttable.

The prettier side of the course was not available. Value was so so considering the hole selection and the poor choice of no putting greens on holes 6 and 9.

They're doing construction on the course, and they called us to let us know the afternoon before, which I definitely appreciated, but this place is playing much more like a par 60 right now and should be even more discounted than they have it currently. I have heard lots of good things about this place and we definitely caught it in the roughest of shapes, there are virtually no 'cart paths' and a third of the course is temporary tee boxes and greens.

I hope to come back when the construction was finished and experience the real deal because we might as well have played rolling hills down the street.

Played this morning. Knew they were having construction, but no idea how extensive. Paid $55 to play (full rate), and it absolutely isn’t worth that right now. Three “temporary greens” are mowed down spots in the fairway about 25 feet in diameter with a flag in the middle. Completely unputtable. This is a great track, but won’t be back in shape until after overseed.

Course is under construction, only the back 9 is open….fairways in awful shape. My biggest problem was that we were charged full price. I would avoid at all costs until the course is back to normal.

Had high hopes for this course based on previous trip to the driving range, but ended up being disappointed. Arrived for our tee time and was told that the course was under renovation, which was not posted online anywhere.. To make matters worse, once we found out about the renovation, there was no offer of discounted green fees…still charging full price, which was crazy since we only had the option to play the front 9 twice! The temporary greens on 2 of the holes, the cart GPS that wasn’t accurate, and the grounds crew working on some of the holes while you were playing just added to the disappointment. Overall the staff was friendly, but at this point, the course had already put us in a “mood”.

Great course but this might not be the best time to play it. It would have been very helpful to know the level of maintenance currently underway at the course BEFORE I booked a tee time. Temp greens 9 and 18. Ground under repair EVERYWHERE. Adjusted par to 69 from normal 72. Several holes cart path only. When I say construction, I'm not talking about punching the greens or laying sod, I mean bulldozers parked on the course, whole sections around the greens farmed for sod. Again, great course but now is not the time to play it.

I appreciate the fact that the course remains open while undergoing renovations, particularly to prepare for next year's Pac 12 championship, but there were two temporary greens and the other greens were so slow and bumpy it was impossible to get a true read or roll. Along with the cart restrictions and slow play in front of us, I feel $40 would have been more appropriate

This was my first time playing Papago. Had I known the back none was closed, I wouldn’t have played here. Also, the cart has GPS that shuts down when you get too close to certain boundaries, but the signage is horrible for cart paths and where you can or can’t go. One time I was on the dirt cart path, but I guess I was too close to the grass and the cart locked up…I was literally on the make shift cart path and couldn’t go anywhere.

Definitely won’t be playing this course again until all the renovations are done.

The course was torn up, because of all the construction going on. If we had known that we were going to have to play the back nine twice, we would have gone elsewhere. The greens and fairways were awful condition. You would think that if you only had nine holes open , you take better care of it.

Did not see any construction warnings when making the reservation. Arrived at the course to find out 2 Temporary Greens, greens in sub-par conditions-fairways in need of love and no ranger on the course controlling slow play.

This to appears to be a very nice course when there is no construction; but right now; it is not worth the greens fee being charged.

My experience was disappointing. Committing to my tee time the night before there was no mention of the course conditions that I would experience. After I arrived and had paid my fees it was then that I discovered that the course had recently been aerified. There is no mention of that on their website, there was no mention of that when I paid my fees. On the first tee it got worse. At this time our group was informed that not only is there some construction going on but that the ninth hole in the 18th hole were being played with a temporary green just shaved down grass in the middle of the fairway. It was construction equipment around the golf course and the fairways had been sliced for seeding or some other type of maintenance. For the rate they were charging 90 plus dollars I expected a better experience. I had played this course several years ago prior to their construction of their new clubhouse and the conditions were much better and I was excited to play this course on this day thinking that it would be as good as it was several years ago and quite possibly much better since it appears they've been putting a lot of money into improvements. I think it's only fair that if you're going to ask the public to pay $90 plus dollars you're at least give them 18 holes of playable conditions

Course was under construction and completely punched out on the greens and fairways. We had to play the back twice. Not worth playing until construction is completed.
