Had a twosome in front of us, figured to be smooth sailing but the ran into a real slow 4 some that held all of us up. We had to wait on every swing.

Never saw a marshal to move them along, the group behind was were even more frustrated and drove up to us to see why we were slow.

Real review

We drove an hour from downtown Scottsdale to go to this course because the review said it was worth it. When we got there, we found a basically public course with pretty good greens. Everything outside of the fairways was crappy there was exposed pipes, junkie water effects. It wasn’t very nice to be honest. We wanted to come out here and play a good round on our vacation and I wouldn’t go back. This is a basically dog track for locals. It’s not a spot to spend time with your friends on vacation with.

Its a fun executive course

The staff was pretty friendly. You have to pay for ice unless you buy two drinks. Luckily beer was only five dollars each. The pace of play was kind of slow in the beginning, but it picked up after three or four holes. The fairways are nice and green, but there is some standing water. The rough looks to be all crab grass. The Grange Road inconsistently but still not horrible. Overall, I would say this is a pretty good value course.

Totally Classless Pro Shop Staff

Reserved via GolfNow for Wed; we could not make it and spoke with course same day. Assured reservation would be canceled at no cost; we reserved for Thursday and played at 6:58AM. Now they are charging me for "no show" on Wed.

Totally classless, after our 3some also spent another $300+ in the pro shop.

Would not recommend this course under any circumstances.

The Duke

Course condition was very good compared to many others I've played here in the past few weeks. Greens are not at all bumpy and fairways are green and lush in most spots.

Only draw back was that we were the second group out and it still took 4 hours and 20 minutes to finish, as we waited on every shot. And twice we waited while 2 of them fished balls out of the lake for about 5 minutes.

Very frustrating...

Good Condition, Fair Track

The course was nice and fun. It was not too difficult. The greens were fast as well as the fairways. It is not the closest to Phoenix or Scottsdale, but it is worth a drive. Especially considering the value compared to some of the other courses.
