Paradise Valley Golf Course

OK, I played on a cold, windy day. Check in was fine. I played solo behind a few foursomes, so no opportunity to play through. The course conditions were not great. Some fairways were burnt out, greens were slow and inconsistent. But this is an executive course, so I made the best of it by hitting two balls and practicing my short game. Would I go back? Probably not, but "maybe" if they had a special discounted price.

The course was as expected, very wet due to overfeeding. The course, grass, has steadily improved over the last 2 years.

The course is still cart path only after overseeding. We played the round in just over 3 hours. Players kept a good pace. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in very nice condition. The price is reasonable for the time of year and the cooler weather. Don't look for a lot of on or off-course frills. It's a good course for the casual golfer who doesn't want to pay a lot for a round golf. Hopefully, the course will stay in good condition throughout the coming winter months.

Cart path only so it was a little slow, but acceptable, considering.

The course was diarrhea. Greens were total crap. Every hole I thought it was the worst hole ever, until the next crop dusting! Do not play here!

Been a while since I played here and now I remember why. What a waste. It's not worth my time to play such a horrible course. More dirt than grass, and the greens are horrible. Unless you are just starting out playing golf, stay away from PV.

I used to live in Scottsdale over four years ago and would go to Paradise Valley Golf Course every so often just to stay in form if I couldn't get to one of my favorite courses. Never was an awesome place, but I thought time would change it.

Greens were decent, but the fairways, tee boxes, and surrounding areas on the golf course were a little less to be desired. LOCALS or FREQUENT USERS have some kind of special treatment there. I asked someone what his tee time was to see if he was golfing with us. I was answered with 'No matter what tee time you have I am always first..." I didn't react and just went back inside to ask the cashier what the man was talking about to only be met with an attitude from him ALSO! I decided there will be no strike three and I won't even get a snack or drink on the turn. We let the two on the tee box at our scheduled time go ahead of us, and my wife and I golfed by ourselves! One positive action was on hole 18. After looking for my ball for almost 4 minutes, my wife found it in the cup for an eagle!!!!!

So, if you are looking for a smooth operating course like Kierland (Scottsdale) or Stonecreek (Phoenix) Golf Courses be prepared to take a deep breath and don't expect anything. In fact, stay away if you are a serious golfer. Unless I am desperate just to hit a golf ball and nearby, this place will be a distant memory.

Conditions are horrible. Some holes are barely playable. Staff is unfriendly. The manager came out of the clubhouse screaming at me and my kids, accusing us of trying to “steal 9 holes of golf”. I was forced to show him my receipt for 18 holes before he would leave us alone. After the round he told us he “thought we were someone else”. I don’t see any other foursomes there consisting of a middle aged man, two teenage boys and a 10 year old girl, so I don’t think I buy that excuse. Almost turned off mg daughter to the sport being berated by an aggressive man on the golf course.

Played here since 15 years, the last 3 years are sad. It is getting worse and worse. Now the tee boxes are not existing anymore. My recommendation is half the size of all greens, no fairways on par 3's (desert area) and only a 20 yard fairway for the par 4's and par 5's and maybe get artificial turf for the tee boxes. Saves a lot of water and maintenance.
