Fountain Hills Golf Club

I don’t know why I never played this jaunty course before. My mistake. Fountain Hills starts off in humble fashion with a straight away par four with o.b. along the left edge. Staying in the fairway makes this hole a good warmup for the day. As you torn the corner and play the shortish par four 2nd hole you face a need to keep the ball right…not too far right, but enough to avoid the tree that blocks shots to the green on the left. It’s an interesting shot value for the early holes. The first five holes are straight forward and have clear shot lines…no tricks are being played on the golfer.

I found a different feel to the final four holes. The look of the holes from 6 to 9 seem to be from a different course designer altogether. These four holes are challenging (the fifth hole is also interesting with its blind uphill tee shot with a lake to the right of the green) and visually appealing. I especially liked the par four 9th closing hole with water and a waste bunker down the entire right side. Tip: use a hybrid off the tee to stay in play.

All told, I was very pleased with the course conditions and the hole routings. It’s in reasonably good shape for the amount of play it must receive. I’ll return…and so should you.

Love everything about this course. Friendly staff. Great course! Love having a cool beverage afterwards!

Played a practice round with my wife. Best ball to keep pace and allow her some time on he course. had a great time. Walk for the exercise which was good.

Guy in the pro shop was not helpful at all, I’ll take my money elwhere.
