San Tan Highlands

Nice course & interesting layout.

Staff is very friendly

Unfortunately the turn was not well managed and after a nice hour & 50 minute front nine, there was a 25 minute wait on Ten which led to the back nine taking over two and half hours.

Fairways were stressed. Greens rolled well, however, very slow. Pace of play, well, 5 hours. Staff before and after round were nice. Lady at the bar was nice as well.

This course is quickly going downhill and becoming a terrible experience. The first issue didn’t even really occur to me until I thought back about all of the garbage that went on today, they don’t call your teetimes anymore to tell you when to go to the tea box, you’re dependent on some kid with an iPad that’s not even paying attention. We were late to tee off because he just sat there, staring at his phone instead of doing his job. Second issue of the day, before some in front of us was painfully slow. It took us five hours to play a four hour round, the Rangers refused to do their job even though the group ahead of us was two holes behind the group in front of them. Third problem, the carts just decided to go into “ you’re in a forbidden area” mode and wouldn’t move, even though we were in the middle of the fairway. Called the clubhouse, they said we have to back out of the area you’re not supposed to be in. Again, middle of the fairway. This used to be a pretty cool course, something is clearly changed because it’s run by idiots.

Played at 5:30 am. Played 18 in 3 hours. It was great - lots of wildlife and the course was in great shape

The course was in good condition. The fairways were a little dry but the greens were in great condition and are rolling at a good pace

This was my second time playing at San Tan Highlands. The first time I only played the front 9 and the staff really hyped up the back 9. Played 18 my second time and WOW they weren’t kidding! Beautiful Mountain View’s and great challenging but fun layout on the back. Great value for 18 holes as well for a 3:15 tee time. Had no issues with pace of play, finished in about 3:40. We did see two rattlesnakes on the back 9, keep your eyes peeled! I will definitely be returning.

Had a 12:02 tee time and actually went off at 11:48. Not too busy this time of year so we got around in about 3:40.

Course was in nice shape for this time of year. Fairways ok, greens consistent if not a bit slow, but that’s to be expected with the hot weather coming. Back nine really fun with multiple elevation changes through the foothills.

Over all a fun course to play.

I played on a beautiful Sunday May 4th so it was busy and running a little behind which is ok and the starter was all over it. Took us 2 1/2 to play front 9 which is a little much but the back 9 which is shorter took us the same. We had a group in front of us which should not have been there jacking around hitting multiple balls so called twice to the shop and a an answering service took the calls so pro shop did not get calls. After numerous years, problem remains that this clueless owner has NOBODY out on course but continues putting a message on the cart to keep pace with group in front of you but no one monitors it. The course is great but it is NOT a 5 hour course and the pro inside did not care with my concerns so if you are not in a hurry and want to spend a full day playing, San Tan Highlands is for you but don’t expect any help on play which is a shame…
