Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club

In general, SDGC was in good shape given the summer temperatures. Some tee boxes could use TLC; fairways were firm and somewhat sparse with grass; greens were quite firm and fast; sand traps were inconsistent with level of sand (some needed attention). Pace of play was good until the back 9, when we experienced an additional 40 minutes compared to front. NO mosquitoes were seen throughout the day. Value was good, even with the 1:15 hr. commute.

Teed off at 1:10pm. First time playing Southern Dunes. Exceeded my expectations. This course is a gem and quite possibly one of the best courses in Arizona. I’ve played both We-Ko-Pa courses and Dinosaur Mountain and Sidewinder and a bunch of top courses in Phoenix. This course will challenge you. Read about the mosquito problem but I didn’t encounter any. Greens are rolling really well.

This course is amazing from top to bottom but when we took the free bug repellent we got bit up like you wouldn't believe. So enjoy the course and it's beyond me why they don't have their course sprayed. Other than the bugs and mosquitoes it was awesome.

Awesome place!! Beautiful course, mostly friendly people! Mosquito's were amped up in the morning, but disappeared with the breeze. Amenities were very good, people were friendly and helpful. Well, most people.. Watch out for Alejandro on the fairway mower. He ran over my ball, denied it, with witnesses. And accused me of hitting him with my ball. Even though the ball was sporting a brand new big smile on it. Really Alejandro, you could've just said, I am so sorry. We both could have moved on!

Course is in amazing shape. With that being said they need to spray for mosquitoes it’s unbearable.

This was a nice course and the staff were very friendly. However, the mosquitos were horrible.

The mosquitos were unbearable and that's an understatement. We had several types of bug spray with the foursome, and nothing mattered due to the volume of mosquitos that would swarm you nonstop. The number of welts all over my body and my girlfriend's body is crazy and it's so bad the course needs to shut down for health concerns. I am shocked there was no warning posted during booking and I feel bad for the employees that work there.

Play this course quite a bit when the rates are within reason. I was surprised how dry the course was compared to the other times I have played it even in July and August. Tee boxes were pretty beat up but the greens were decent still.
