San Tan Highlands

Course is in great shape. I was mentally prepared for a five hour round min. We finished under 4.5 hours on a Sunday!

I have played San Tan Highlands a number of times this month and overall, think the course is a good course with a reasonable valuation. Greens have been good of late with decent speed. The downside the last few times out has been pace of play with up to 3 groups on a tee box more than once in a round. They advertise a maximum 4 hour and 20 minute pace of play which I think is slow for a course like this. I have had few rounds exceed 4 hours and 30 minutes with one nine hole round in excess or 2 hours and 30 minutes. It appears to be a combination of over booking and under marshalling. There is no reason that a foursome shouldn't be able to play this course in 4 hours.

The course has so much potential but it needs some investment in infrastructure in my opinion. The greens and fairways were good, tee boxes need some care in general. The new power carts are very nice and the complimentary water was appreciated. The $4.98 water charge (above the green fees) and $11.00 for a medium bucket of range balls seems excessive.

Overall growth of shape sand traps need sand seems like it a 5 hour round all time

Tee off as one of the first tee times in the morning. The guys up front were saying they were almost full with every tee time taken. We played the first 9 in less than 2 hours but had to wait 30-45 mins at the turn due to the multiple groups of 9 hole players on the back 9. Maybe say up front, don't play too fast because you will just have to wait at the turn? But we are still supposed to keep pace right?

Very good condition for time of year.

90 degree rule was nice

Very friendly staff.

Definite play again

Great course. Technically perfect for me. I am a weekly player with not much of a game. Difficulty was great as well. The obstacles and “obstructions” were there but made the greens very reachable. Just a very fun course and laid out nicely. Only issue was a large amount of mowed grass left on the fairways. The exterior fringe was “mushy” not wet at all but grass was bubbly feeling. Beautiful course and marshals were a pleasure to talk to. Could not have asked for a better. Can’t wait to play again when I am back in town.

Thank you,

My first time playing here. I like the course layout, and it was in good condition.The pro shop staff were rude. I'll spend my money somewhere else.

The course is in great shape, all employees were extremely helpful a friendly. Great value!

Great course in excellent condition. Play it on a fairly regular basis and enjoy taking company there to watch their reaction.

The round was a good time. I found the course to be above average difficulty.

I hit my 1st ever Hole in One on the par 3 11th Hole. It's listed as 140 yards from the blue tees, but the day we played the pin was up front with a slight left to right wing across the hole. I hit a very light 9 iron slightly into the wind. Ball started left but the wind held it up and my ball bounced right at the front of the green and then dribbled twice before dropping into the cup.

The course is in great shape and very challenging. They have new golf carts and the pace of play was pretty decent - we saw the ranger twice on our round.

I love everything about this course.
