Located in the West Valley, the championship-length course at the Coldwater Golf Club boasts several different challenges for an interesting round of golf. There are elevated tees as well as several dry washes. There are two lakes providing water hazards on the golf course as well. There are also dramatic elevation changes caused by the mountainous terrain. Aside from the challenging game, the course also offers beautiful mountain vistas. The course has not only one signature course but two. The first is the modest eighth hole. Although it is short at 100 yards, it features an elevated tee and a triple-tiered green. Coldwater Golf Club also finishes with a signature hole. The beginning tee shot plays to an open fairway over water with a dry wash to the left, while the approach shot is closed-in by another wash to the left and a lake to the right.

1st Time Here

I play usually at least once a month, 2x if I can. This was my first time at Coldwater. I found the course in ok to good condition, mostly (a few holes were brownish). The greens were slow. We had a 8:48 tee time, but were delayed because several groups decided to jump to the front after they checked in and the Marshal did not leave the club house once. Otherwise it was a good round.

I usually don’t leave a review good or bad but in this case I think I have to.

1. Got cart, went to go to driving ranch and realized it had a flat tire. Turned around and guy put air in it.

2. Carts pb went cleaned since beginning of season as looked pretty filthy.

3. Seen a Marshall cart at clubhouse but never seen him on the course as the pace was incredibly slow.

4. 5 1/2 hr round.

Normally golf here once a week but moving on know u til somebody tells me it’s better as the crappy carts are one thing but the slow play, waiting at each tee box with two other groups topped it.

Lots of crab grass, greens ok however

There is an invasion of crab grass in the fairways and the t boxes. Often needed to place the ball elsewhere in the fairways, not exactly kosher but I felt the need to have a good drive rewarded.

Course needs some T L C

Greens were ok, kinda slow, but the fairways have a lot of crab grass intrusion and that made it tough to hit a ball out of that even when having a good drive. That is why I rated it lower than last time I played.

Decent enough for the price

Range was absolutely horrible. Out of the small bucket of balls I purchased for $7, which came out to be about 24 to 30 balls, 5 were split and all of them were filthy. Course was okay but it was literally the longest round of my life. Waited on almost every tee box for at least 10 minutes. Tee boxes were in pretty bad shape throughout. Staff was friendly though.

Horrible place to play

If you spend more than $20 you are being overcharged. Course was in horrible condition with sand bunkers full of grass and not maintained in months. Grass was not cut in any approach areas and just left to go wild. I lost a few balls because I couldn’t find them when just off the green. The tee boxes were horrible with not mowed and no attempt to groom them. It looks like they just gave up until the fall overseed and when they can chargé $100 plus. I have come to this place since 2005 and am just done with it.

Slow play

Turned into a 5+ hour round in a 110 heat, no ranger out that to speed up play. I have to stop play at the 16th hole, was expecting a 4hr round especially during summer.

tees needed mowing but the greens were in good shape. The same is true for most of the fairways for the summertime in Arizona.

Terrible No starter

Started at 8 am, at 10 I was starting the 6 hole. At one point there were 5 groups on one hole. The Marshal tried to speed it up, but it was too late, I gave up on the 7th hole. Should get my money back.

Not enjoyable anymore.

Just got done playing here and it’s usually just OK. But today I was completely turned off on the idea of coming back here. the place alone the last several times this last year has gotten progressively worse. Today there seemed to be divots on some greens from people chipping. There’s a fairway on the back 9 that runs along the train tracks… its been almost unplayable the last 3 times I’ve gone. Tee boxes are in terrible shape. My partner and I were making the turn and the sprinklers were on. we called to ask if they could turn the sprinklers off on. They told me they couldn’t but they’ll ask the maintenance guys. (So you can or can’t?). If you don’t want people playing to re condition and water the course don’t schedule tee times that soon. They also told me they’re not sure how many of the holes on the course will be like that today. (So why did I pay 40 dollars if I wasn’t going to be able to play all 18?)

The cart was beat up. I got swarmed by ants on the floorboard of it and the undercarriage of the cart was dragging along the whole time we played. So someone beat the cart up pretty good and it must’ve not been unkept well before use. This round should’ve been around 20-28 dollars to have played today considering how poor the course has been unkept.

Terrible conditions.

Probably one of the worst courses I’ve played in a long while.

Tee boxes are jacked up , you get punished for landing on the fairways , green are the only decent thing and that’s not saying much.

Would not recommended play somewhere else !

Bad experience

Walked off after 12 holes at the 4 hour mark. Course was extremely over watered. Every shot yielded a mud ball. Used to play this course often, won’t be back.

Worst course ever

Only saving grace for this place is that the staff are all really nice. When it comes to the course though, only consistent thing about this course is crab grass, mud, and gopher holes. Oddly enough, the greens were in great condition but that means Jack when the course looks like it was a war zone. Wouldn’t even recommend this place to my worst enemy, which is a shame cause the staff is really nice and the course has a great layout if it was actually taken care of. Avoid unless a major renovation occurs.

What's happening

Don't know what's happening here. The course is in horrible shape. Fairways have a lot of dead spots. Tee boxes and areas around the greens are overgrown. Greens are okay. Pace of play is good only because of low bookings. I see why. Course was showing a lot of improvement. But this is a major relapse. Hoping ownership is aware. Will be playing elsewhere for now.

Terrible Course

Everything about this course was terrible

Tee boxes, fairways, greens, trash all over the course, golf carts were dirty and had trash in them. I legit can’t think of one good thing to say. Stay far far away from this course. It’s a robbery for $40.

This place supposedly had new management but that obviously wasn’t the case. I wish I could give it zero stars
