First Time Playing

Paradise Valley

This was my first time playing this course. I was hesitant to play here and had passed it up a few times previously after reading reviews about the course conditions. But I decided to give it a try with a cheap hot deal and to check a new course off my list. The reviews I read mentioned the lack of grass in the fairways and I found that to be the case. If you hit the fairway and can find a bit of grass nearby, might as well move your ball so you’re not hitting off dirt. The tee boxes were in decent shape and the greens were surprisingly good. The greens were pretty slow and you have to give your putt a real firm stroke or you’ll be short all day, but the grass was good except for a few dead spots from the heat. The layout of this course is really good and if the grass was in better condition it would be a terrific course. But not expecting much, I had a fun round and the lack of fairway grass wasn’t that big an issue since there are so many par 3s.

Slow pace of play

I played as a single and had a twosome in front of me. I had to wait at least 5-10 minutes for them to play ahead. They were obviously in no hurry and spent a lot of time looking for lost balls. My tee time was 8:15 am so they were in front of me. At first it looked like one player would hole out while the other one wasn’t on the green yet.. also, the cart paths are in terrible shape. They are filled with pot holes and in some places are totally worn down as they need to be replaced

To be expected

For a super cheap public course it was a little tougher in the fairways than expected but the greens were i great shape considering the heat this summer. A little furry but rolled true and weren’t dirt like some of the fairways. Played in 1:45 so can’t complain at all.

Great course that needs TLC

Course is some urgent need of TLC. Compared to a year ago, the course is in sad shape. In addition, I do t understand the need for golfers to be smoking weed on the golf course and playing blue tooth speakers. Where has golf etiquette gone?

18th hole had a busted water valve that flooded the t box. There was no fairways and where there was a fairway it was full of weeds.

The greens were much improved from the winter. But again, great course needs a lot of TLC.

Fun course. Helpful friendly staff. Good value.

I had a lot of fun playing this course. I will play again and bring along my friends. Plays fast with just enough challenges to keep it interesting. I recommend this course if you have time and you are in the neighborhood.

Course was okay, greens were terrible- looks like was aerated not to long ago. When your ball hit a bunch of sand popped up. Courses should give you a discount when they are not in good condition.

Not what I was expecting. Fairways did not exist. Just weeds and haphazard patches of grass. Giant soccer holes often blocking the green and approach shots. Cart path was like driving through a mine field. Holes and obstacles throughout for you to avoid if you want to save your spine. This place needs some major improvements everywhere. Spend a little more money and find another course.
