San Tan Highlands

Very slow play. No Marshall. I thought they figured this out last year finally

Over the last few weeks I have played the course a few times. Having come out of over-seed the track is in fabulous shape and will only get better. On some holes they have consolidated the tee boxes, I am assuming to encourage strong grass growth on unused boxed at this time. That will yield a better experience for all skill levels once they come back in play.

Slowest pace of play in AZ. Marshal does not make slow groups keep up with groups ahead of them. They never have enough carts. Couldn’t get a cart until 15 mins before tee time.

Very slow play, 4:45 play to the 17th hold and then too dark to finish.

Course recently came out of overseed. Plenty of overseed rye in fairways and greens. We need some colder weather to have all the Bermuda go dormant. As expected coming out of overseed the grass in fairways and greens are a bit long. As a result greens are slower than normal. Front nine routes thru neighborhoods and not much character. Definitely preferred back nine. It has more character with elevation changes and dog legs. Pace of play was just over 4 hours.

I live in the Seattle region, so golf here is very different than golf in the desert. San Tan provides an incredible experience for people who want to see desert golfing, fantastic staffing, and an amazing visual experience. The front nine is beautiful, but much like any neighborhood golf course. However, the back nine take you to unbelievable views of the desert, the surrounding communities, and the contrast of green against desert brown. The amount of wildlife is also incredible with the bunnies and the birds etc etc. If you're in the area, take time to play San Tan. I played four rounds in 5 days, and it was fantastic!

This course has fantastic views, but the pace of play was extremely frustrating, to the point where we didn't finish our round. Greens are also quite slow.

Fairways and greens in decent shape from over-seed although greens were real slow very bumpy. A lot of areas on course really shabby. It doesn’t seem like anyone cares about aesthetics and quality of transition areas. Cart paths in poor shape. Had the feel of a cheap under maintained muni course. Bunkers poor and the rates were high for course conditions. Too bad, excellent layout but you can tell the owners don’t want to spend any money on the course.
