Missing rangers

The course is usually well managed by rangers on the course to facilitate pace of play.. None in sight today. Caught behind a very slow foursome on the front that was very frustrating.

Disappointed

We were not able to play because the course did not have a tee time reservation for us. Even though we had the confirmation email from Golfnow, there was no reservation. Don’ know all the facts yet, but apparently, there was a disconnect between the course, Golfnow and us. First time this has happened, but it makes me leery about Golfnow reservation system.

Excellent Green & Fairway

I would not say it’s a hard course. Although some par 4s were 400+ yards, some par 4s were below 300 yards to compensate from the gold tee. More water than I expected, but the course layout is great and the fairways and greens are just perfect. Difficult green though, fast enough with lots of hidden lines, very challenging. Beautiful course, will come again, but honestly maybe a bit pricy compare to other courses.

Santa Rosa

Rode the Blacks (6720/72.1/127) mid day. Paired with Reed, Johnny and Steve, we played in 4H 15M in clear, breezy conditions around 70.

The over seeded tees were lush, level and nicely maintained with very few unfixed divots.

The over seeded fairways were lush and nice to play from.

The over seeded rough was thick/lush. Just deep enough to rule out longer clubs.

The sand traps were nicely maintained with thick, good dark quality sand.

The large over seeded greens were firm and putted medium fast speed with few ball marks.

Quick, efficient check-in, they got me paired up with a 3some playing in a tournament. Basic carts do not have GPS or ports for electronics. Plenty of water stations on the course. No drink cart today. Customer service has always been very good from everyone here. Definitely recommended.

Wide open wonder

If you’re tired of playing courses where the homes are so close to the Fairways that you’re afraid you’re going to hit a house or an owner who happens to be outside — you’ll love the wide open wonder of the Santa Rosa course at Sun City. Despite the openness, it’s plenty challenging for maybe all but true scratch golfers. Very nice greens with challenging pin placements. Nice conditions on the Fairways and roughs. We were a threesome. We waited consistently for the foursome in front of us, but never an overly long wait. We completed the round in 3:45, so no complaints there. There is a beverage cart, but we only saw her once, and that was on the 3rd hole. No drinking water on course, so bring your own or ask for a cup when checking in. We didn’t see any restaurant or hospitality area. We weren’t looking for one, but if you are, you might be disappointed. Seemed to be fewer people around to help than at most area courses (nobody at the bag drop when we arrived and no starter), but the golf itself was very enjoyable.

Santa Rosa

Rode the Blacks (6720/72.1/127) mid day using Underpar. Played with Mneilson, his wife Doris and roarksown1. Thanks Mike, Doris and Robert for a fun round! 4H, 15M POP, the weather was around 65, clear and calm.

The course came out of over seeding in excellent condition.

The over seeded tees were lush, level and nicely maintained with very few unfixed divots.

The over seeded fairways were lush and nice to play from.

The over seeded rough was lush and mowed down, not overly penal.

The sand traps were nicely maintained with thick, good dark quality sand.

The large over seeded greens were firm and putted medium fast speed with few ball marks.

Nice, all grass driving range is a +. Basic carts do not have GPS or ports for electronics. Plenty of water stations on the course and the drink cart was around several times today. Santa Rosa would be a challenging course to walk, many tees are a long way from the last green. Good restaurant on site. Customer service has always been very good from everyone here. Recommended.

Best value in the desert

Santa Rosa at Sun City – Mountain Vista is a real treat. The golf course is the finest condition all year long. You will have to pay a lot more to get the course conditions you get here day in and day out.

The Santa Rosa layout is challenging from the tips but not so much that you get frustrated it plays a little over 6700 yards but they have tees for seniors and everything in between. The range is good and the putting greens are large and indicative of the actual green speeds.

The course layout can come up and bite you if you are not careful but the fairways are wide and forgiving. There is water on many holes and the signature holes 10 and 11 are really beautiful with it waterfalls and many unique water fowl. Give Santa Rosa a try, you will have a great round of golf and be treated well, and for the money you can’t get a better conditioned track! Great greens and fairways are always manicured. Staff from the pros, marshals and cart guys can’t be beat!

Changing tee-off time

I usually don’t book a tee-time after 1:30 p.m. during this time of the year! What happened: I got a mail telling me that my t-time was put back from 1:26 to 1:58 for unknown reasons?! The proshop told me that this was an issue with golfnow and not with them! I do not like when i am pushed around as a good customer!

Pls tell me the real reason - i could hardly finish the round due to darkness
