Overrated and overpriced

Book this course to celebrate our wedding anniversary and thought we would invest a little bit more money on a

more upscale course. But a huge disappointment it turned out to be, as it took three hours to play the front nine on a Thursday morning. We contacted the pro shop and complained about the slow pace of play and they said they were going to send someone out two different times and never did. These people are not in the golf course industry they’re in the hotel industry so they really don’t care how long it takes you to play which is why we left and never even finished plane 18 thankfully GolfNow gave us a partial credit for the round. One of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had. It’s overpriced and overrated and we will not back.

Extremely slow and unfriendly

Tee times were packed together, took over 5 hours. Charged full price knowing that the round could not be completed before dark. Staff was not helpful when called about it. Golfed there every year for the last 8 years. Each year it gets worse. Taken friends to this course and they won't go back. Neither will I. Not worth it.

Great Experience

Easy booking which led to a easy check in with the staff

Paired with two great guys, we had a great round!

The 9’s are different

Front being resort with slopes and waters

Back being a desert setting and elevations

Rental equipment, cart personnel and pace were perfect!

A fun and challenging course.

I understand why some fairways are roped off…mostly for safety, but if you’re an older player be prepared to walk a lot on the front nine.

Ups & Downs

Really small tee boxes. Not well marked players need to be " Warned" about hitting into people, not safe. Areas around tee boxes need work. Difficult to walk ip or down.

Worth the price.

I was a little nervous walking up to such a nice place because I really kind of suck at golf.

The staff was really nice, made me feel welcomed.

On hole 3 I got a birdie, and by that I mean I hit a bird that was floating on the pond. Did I mention I kind of suck?

The front 9 was a little rough for me, houses on each side of the fairway.

The back 9 absolutely beautiful.

The marshals came around, and were super friendly as well.We got paired up with a couple of really nice Canadian folks, had a great time.

Interesting course with no sand.

Second time playing this course and the play has been very slow both times. Course condition is decent except the bunkers have almost no sand in some places. Okay course but there's others that are better value for the money.

Want to play it again!

A few blind shots so, course knowledge would help. Play patient and within your ability and it’s pretty good.

Nice but tricked up

This course is a good value for the condition, in Arizona. The fairways and greens are all as nice as a course that costs much more.

However, I don't really enjoy playing here because there are too many blind shots and tricked up holes. The course was clearly wedged into a geographic area not big enough for a course, so to make up for the lack of length, they have created all sorts of stuff like weird lies and crazy sloping greens. I don't think if your ball lands in the middle of the fairway you should have an uneven lie.
