Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club

I've played this course a half dozen times, and absolutely love the variety and layout of holes (if one chooses the correct tees for their abilities, then most all greens are accessible to reach in regulation).

That said, the greens are usually quite fast and (when I recently played last week) sometimes "too quick" (I was even unable on multiple occasions to even "lag" a putt close from just 25-30 feet). These overly fast conditions on the greens can be rectified by proper treatment, but if not applied on such undulating surfaces actually make the course unpleasant to play in the sense that "reaching the green" is not rewarded with conditions a putter can adequately navigate. If the greens are to remain this fast, then the greens need to be somewhat "flattened" to make up for the speed of things.

Conditions were mint tee to green. I’ve always enjoyed playing here. Probably the most consistent conditions amongst the top courses. I’d say Southern Dunes deserves more accolades

This has been my favorite course in metro Phoenix since the first time I played it in the middle of the summer when I was expecting a course in “summer” condition and instead found a lush well maintained gem. Lots of bunkers and the course definitely sets up for someone who works the ball left to right. Very firm, fast greens.

Fantastic scenery and incredibly helpful and responsive staff

I’m not used to target golf or desert golf so this is my favorite in AZ thus far - Greens need to be faster boys come on and stop being so friendly to the hacks

What a golf course in my top five. In are group we had a blue tee box “me” and golds do black. It was great from all Tee boxes.

Place is unbelievable! Get away from the City and play a tour type course is a must!

Course was in great condition (tee boxes, fairways and greens). Staff is extremely friendly and helpful..

We will most certainly go back!

Awesome course!! Friendly staff and good food! A must place to play!

Other than the issues with the group behind us the experience and course was great. Will be back again someday.

Today is the first time I played this course and I am very happy I did. It is a gorgeous course and a beautiful layout and it is in superb condition. The greens are fast but very true. If you don’t like sand traps don’t play here because this place is filled with sand traps. If you can only Play one course in Arizona, then play this one because you will cherish the time you spend on it. It is not an easy course by any means but You will have fun.
