Slow play with 4 players and a walk along ahead.

Frustrating to follow. Often we’re a hole behind and seemed to diddle along. Marshal was not really helpful, but friendly.

Great Vacation golf

Very friendly and helpful staff. I enjoyed the practice range, the mulligan, par 3 course and had a great time on the king course. The course was in good shape, green’s were tricky (sloped) but ran true. Great course for the price.

Crowded week

Overall, the course was pretty good crowded week with the waste management open so everybody jacked their rates it seems. There are better courses in the Scottsdale area.

The course charges too much and now added a 4% water fee! That’s ridiculous!!!

Nice Course; A Bit Cheaper than Others in Scottsdale

This was a nice, straightforward course that was significantly cheaper than others in the Scottsdale area. We had no pace of play issues until the last four holes or so, so still finished in under four hours. Not an immaculate course - tee boxes a little chewed up, for example, but was definitely enjoyable. Surprisingly, a lot of water to contend with - for less experienced golfers, that could add to the frustration level.

Over priced

Great course I play it a lot but I don't like the fact that they have raised the prices everywhere in Phoenix. They're taking advantage of all the bachelor parties that come to Scottsdale that go and play golf. What they're doing is hurting the residents of Phoenix by charging us more money to play. I've reported this to the the governor, and Consumer Affairs department. This is blatant price gouging and needs to be dealt with

Tee Boxes were filled with sand

More than half of the tee boxes were filled with sand and we couldn’t stick a tee in the grass. Tee boxes were beat up! Hot dogs were not good and buns fell apart
