San Tan Highlands

I am writing this to warn others: these guys want to get into your wallet. I played on Saturday, May 30th (12:10 PM tee time). the course was empty.. aside from

The one slow group in front of us.

We booked a foursome ($35 per person) but my mother-in-law opted to spectate rather than play. We paid the $30 rider fee for her to sit in the cart, yet a few days later, I was hit with an additional $35 "no-show" fee by GolfNow apparently submitted by this course.

When I reached out to "Seth" in management to explain the situation—that we had already paid for her spot, the course was empty, and there was zero impact on their tee sheet—he couldn't have cared less. They are shamelessly milking patrons for every cent they can get.

The rest of the experience was trash.

The Range: $7 for a “small”

Bucket. It was 12-15 golf balls with virtually no dimples .. you know the type.

The Food: Cold, nasty hot dogs served at the turn

The Service: non existent.

The course: seen better days

I even tipped the cart staff $5 for walking out of the cart barn when we finished the round.. but that was the last dollar this place will ever get from me. I didnt Know they were going to steal $35 without a care in the world.. still just baffled by the lack of service to a paying customer. I’ll never come back.

Had a chance to sneak in a quick round. San Tan Highlands didn't disappoint. It's a track close to home so I could get out and play in 3 hours! No breeze today, which can add strokes quickly to a scorecard! Big bonus - 3rd shot into 18 left a 3-footer which was drained for a closing birdie!

The course is in very rough shape. Greens are pretty good but speed is inconsistent. The fairways have lots of bare spots and the areas around the greens have no grass. I expect better conditions!

Aerification on every hole made play pretty tough. Certainly understandable for future course conditions, but didn’t help today. Greens were fair and rolled well. Tee boxes were aplenty and mostly level. Course was overall dry. Bathrooms and pro shop amenities were decent. Liked the layout a lot with a nice mix of challenges and scenery. Will return after the turf has recovered.

The pace of play is typically slow. Even for this time of year, the course is in poor condition.

I like the layout of this course but experience was just ok. No carts available when we arrived, 2 of us got charged upon checkin after already paying on Teeoff (we got refunded), pace of play was terrible (5.5 hour round), fairways were in rough shape on a few holes, tee box on par 3 off the mountain was off a mat, etc. Probably won’t be back anytime soon, which is a shame, because I do like the course layout. Maybe next time will be better.

San Tan Highlands has a great layout and great potential - course needs some TLC. Tee boxes and greens are good, fairways are below average condition. The day we played, the course was double booked??? - would have been nice to get some sort of discount since the tee time was delayed by an hour.

Staff were friendly.

Great course but they need rangers out there twosome took 3+ hours for a single 9

Great course love the elevated tees and the staff was great and friendly!
