Longer drive but worth it.

The staff was excellent and very helpful with whatever we needed. A bonus was eating at their restaurant after the round. Great food, service and cold beverages.

Cleaning up some

Easy to find. Easy check in. Can’t take carts to car carts clean with ice in chests and sand bottles. Tees generally good. A few divots on par 3’s. Fairways with short grass and fairly dry. Roughs with ok grass. Some desert areas and still most in need of cleaning up. Bunkers mostly with soft white sand. Greens generally roll good Played in 4:10. Ball boys need to come with brushes and cloths to clean clubs. Water buckets for towels. Water on course for us. Some of cart paths in need of minor repairs prices finally in line

Needs maintenance

Easy to find. Check in easy. Carts can’t go to car. Ice in chests and sand on carts. Tees pretty good seems like they could use regular filling of divots. Fairways short and pretty good. Some bunkers with real nice soft white sand others with more like dirt. Greens putt pretty well and fairly fast. Desert areas in need of maintenance. Paths over water could be improved. Played in 3:45. Cost finally down to reasonable

Eat neighborhood golf course in Arizona

With its wide fairways, tight greens, well placed hazards, and beautiful lawnmenship. This course will challenge you while still making you look like a pro. Whether you are a big man and drive a million miles or you're a master at the short game, these challenging pars make for a well worth trip to this little big town of Maricopa. After you play sit down and enjoy a view of the lake and get served by the most helpful staff. Prices anywhere in Arizona are bipolar but well worth the dime you work for still at a great price. I recommend this course for any ages. My ten year old junior gets to slap it around with the best of them while everyone encourages her. Don't miss this opportunity. This place is my new home course for sure.

4 hour round

Grass range, putting green and chipping green with bunker to work on your short game before going out was great. Staff was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the lost art of the 4 hour round. Great day out!

Slow play?

We took a Hot deal at 11:15 on a Saturday and weren't paired with anyone? So a 2 some sandwiched in-between 2 4somes and may I add the group in front of us was so slow! We waited almost 5 minutes on every shot. If your only capable of hitting 125 yd drives sideways? Then watch some videos or play best ball. I assume you aren't going to work the next day and telling your buds you shot a 150!!! Last of all did they let us through or was there a Marshall? Of course not.
