Always a great value.

This course is always a great choice. Fairway conditions were not quite what we have seen in the past but the greens were fantastic as always. This is with out a doubt the best value in the metro area and is very much worth the drive down from the south central valley at any time of the year.

Good course and value

Play this course quite a bit and always in good shape. Played a little slow this round due to a couple of groups ahead playing very slow. Sped up on the back nine after the ranger came out

Always enjoy playing here

This is a terrific course in very good shape (considering the weather) and is very affordable. I played in the afternoon so there were few golfers out there so it was a 2 1/2 hour round. It's not an easy course since there are quite a few bunkers which btw are in better shape than almost every course in the area. It's a nice challenge and I always like playing here. The tee boxes and greens are in terrific shape. The fairway is not too bad considering how the time of year.

Hawk

Course appears to have had a good snowbird season and is reinvesting in the course. Maintenance was hauling white sand to the sand traps. Course was dry but in relatively good condition.

First Time Playing

Nice course

This was the first time I had played this course and it was a really enjoyable round. Showed up 30 minutes early and upon checking in, they said I could go out whenever I was ready as there were not groups ahead. The pace moved quickly with less people on the course. The greens and tee boxes were really well kept. The fairways look to have been recently aerated and we’re recovering. The rough was a bit burned out, but to be expected for the summer in AZ. Overall a good experience and will look to play again soon.

No wait on a Friday afternoon

Played around 3:00 on a Friday afternoon and surprisingly had not wait at all, even as a single. Greens in good shape for summer and fairways decent. Good price on Golfnow.

Enjoyed playing it.. A little dry in the fairways, but overall a good deal and we played 36 holes so we must've liked it a lot. The bad? Traffic getting in and out of Maricopa.. Not that it's the fault of the golf course, but the light coming in off of the main drag takes forever to change and when it does only about 4 cars squeak through.
