Cart jockeys attitude was unacceptable

I'm new in town and have played this course half a dozen times in the last month but after my round today may need to start to venture out to other close courses. Cart attendent was very rude and condescending. Half way through the round ran into a group of 6 that were tossing back bad shots and trying multiple attempts to get "good" shots while we waited to play through. Unfortunately wasn't able to finish the round because of the congestion from the party of 6.....

Nice course in maricopa

Corse was just coming out of overseediing,. As is fairly normal after that, the greens and fairways were longer than last time i played. Greens in particular were very slow and a lot of the bunkers had standing water. Still round was very enjoyable. And well worth the money.

The course is very playable without too much trouble, just a few water hazards. I have played here about 5 times and always enjoy myself.

OK Given the Season

Course ws ok having just been overseeded. Greens were fuzzy and really slow. As the year moves on, it should get better. For now,' it's cart path only.

Well worth it

This is course has a very nice layout. Not overly difficult if you are hitting your shots. The greens are still recovering from being verti cutted. But the greens were very playable as always. They are getting ready to reseed so fairways were cut low. The only thing that bugs me about this course is they DON'T aerate the fairways! The fairways are hard year round and yearly aeration would elevate the quality of this course greatly in my opinion. It is a fun track to play.

the course was pretty rough, but that was due to it being scalped in preparation for overseed.

Course had sustained some damage from earlier rains and flooding, fairways hard and dry (getting ready for over seeding I believe) greens in good condition and consistent
