I'm not a great golfer...

...and this is not a great golf course...so IT's PERFECT for me. IIt's conveniently located, the staff is super friendly, and yardage is shorter for a hacker like me. There's a nice variety of holes and layouts. As I said, I'm not a great golfer, but I love Paradise Valley.

.You Get What You Pay For

Don’t waste your time or money here. Maybe the Southern California owner could invest a little for improvements. As it stands, they’re doing their best as a slum lord. Sorry, sometimes the truth is painful.

Good potential

The course has good potential. With a little effort at no cost it could be better. We had low expectations because of the price, unfortunately looks like the course is poorly managed. Throughout the course was barrier stakes and rope fallen over and laying everywhere as one of many examples. The least amount of effort must be managements encouraging words. Very disappointed in the lack of effort.

Fading away

I used to play this course frequently 10 years ago.. The course used to be taken care of quite well. This time was sad to see. Lots of hard muddy areas from overwatering in the morning, grass/weeds in sand traps.. sand traps hard as a rock. I would rate the course a 3 out of 10. The only employee we ran into was the front desk. Not a typical front desk guy, more of a minimum wage guy. Also no beverage cart.

Keep driving...

Pretty bad overall experience. Course is in crummy shape and not worth the $35 w/cart.

Corse enforcement

They need a Marshall or ranger to drive around and enforce things like the pace of play and limit 4 to a group. I was part of a foursome and I noticed 2 holes in front of us were a party of

8. Not everyone had their own clubs and there was only one cart as everyone else walked. Also the 1st, 6th , and the 9th had numerous range balls in the fairways. There’s way too many geese.

Horrible greens.

I’ve never seen such horrible greens on a golf course ever. The bunkers were nonexistent. It was just gravel, and there were some bunkers that there was actually grass growing in the middle of them. We got to the six hole and a group of children walked right through the course as if they were at a park and there’s no Marshall there. It’s a one and done for me.

Listen I’ve been playing this course for years, it’s not your premiere Augusta by any stretch, but for the money, you cannot beat golfing here. Great course for practicing iron play with a few driving opportunities. Definitely worth the money to come play.
