Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club

I’d heard good things about this course so when I found a good price and tee time I booked it. Definitely worth it. From bag drop to the end everything was great. Tee boxes fairways greens and bunkers were in great shape. I hade an 8:08 tee time and played as fast as the group in front of us. Just over four hours. Would definitely drive 40 miles again to play here.

108 bunkers! Not very scenic....expected cactus!?

Fair course for women from red tees....just over 5,000 yds.

The course was in beautiful shape however the golf round not so good. Pace of play was slow and no one tried to speed up play. It was a windy day. Constant wind of 25 miles per hour with gusts up to 45. Not a day to play golf but no way to get a refund. Even the starter said it was a good day to go bowling. Two people in out foursome quit because of the conditions. A side wind would drift the ball up to 50 yards. Not real happy.

Excellent course. Conditions and layout were great. Coulda play this course every week. Will definitely play again.

By far one of the best courses in Phoenix. Equal to Quintero or Troon North. A little far south but totally worth the drive. Fred couples did an amazing job designing this course. Will definitely be back soon. If you can find tee time under $150 it’s a steal!

I’ve played the course several times. Always in great shape. Staff is great. New carts. Bottled water on several holes if needed. Great layout. Pace of play was just over 4 hours. Considering having to play out of several bunkers we made good time. Lots of bunkers make it a good challenge and they actually have sand in them unlike a lot of other courses. Would definitely recommend the course.

I've played Southern Dunes 5 times during different visits to Arizona. All aspects of the course and facilities are consistently excellent. I've always had a great experience. The course is challenging but not crazy difficult. There is lots of sand to avoid. The bunkers are in excellent condition with very good sand. The greens are not too fast. The tees are consistently in great shape.

This is a fun great golf course to play. Every aspect of it. The only knock is the inconsistency of sand in bunkers. But they have spend over a million dollars for new sand after last October storms, but that didn’t cover all of them. There are a ton of them so understandable. Hopefully they will do the rest of them.

A must golf course to play!

Great track and highly recommend.. Lots of character and lots of trade winds . Shot makers course and worth the trip out of the city.

Greens were trues and fast and boxes were awesome. Fairways were good and bunkers a little off from all the rain..

worthwhile

Beautiful, challenging, fun, great condition...this place has it all. A must play for someone looking for a great experience without the typical crazy high rates that are the norm this time a year.

This course always impresses. I have played this course several times and I always look forward to playing and bringing out of town guests here. It is in fantastic condition from tee box to green. The layout is awesome and presents a challenge to any caliber of golfer. I would recommend this course to anyone.

I decided to play this course as a single spontaneously on a monday afternoon. The ride from Phoenix takes a little time, but it´s well worth it.

I was paired with a Canadian who plays this course regularly, and it turned out to be a great afternoon, playing golf and having a lot of fun.

The course is quite challenging, there are bunkers everywhere.

You can, however, choose from a lot of tee boxes, which makes it a lot more playable for anyone.

The only small criticism comes from the bunkers being very different, some being very fluffy, some being almost like concrete. That makes it really hard to get into a rhythm.

Apart from that, the course is in perfect condition.

The fairways are nice and green, fair to play. The greens are fast and in very good shape.

Pace of play was relaxed and still good.

I highly recommend this course.

I took the trip south of PHX to play this course. It is a great deal and awesome course. Greens rolled pure and fast. I will be back next time in the area.

Headlines; Great staff; great course; great time - 5 stars.

Arrived at 08.20 for an 08.50 tee got away at 08.45. We let two two-ball groups play through on the front nine and finished in 4 hours 30 walking. Saw no-one else for the whole round.

A truly great course, good tees, fairways, good size greens running at 10 with very tricky breaks, bunkers a little variable plenty of sand but some very dry and light and some damp and heavy. There are no tricks on this course but you have to pick your way through the bunkers and know when to take them on and when to just lay up. Great variety of hole length, shape and challenge. The par threes are a real challenge, with great variety of length and some big forced carries which make holding the green difficult. We had a 20mph westerly wind for the whole back nine, meaning that we had to deal with winds that were helping, hurting and across us - what a great layout.

The course staff are all unfailingly friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Is a really nice course to walk, but it would be an added bonus if the course management would cut some walking tracks from green to tee - nothing fancy just a cleared path. Is a shame to have to walk the cart path quite so often.

My only gripe is the provision of water on the course. Every second hole there's an ice cooler with free plastic bottles of water. This means that every year Troon throw away tens of thousands of one time use plastic bottles - not cool. Give us re-usable bottles and water coolers to refill from.

Yes I'd recommend this course and I'll definitely be back.

Course was in good shape as always well worth the money

Course in great shape with the Saguaro Am a few days ago. Sand was sand, not dirt like many AZ courses. Fast pace. Lots of thinking shots. And, killer food in the clubhouse.
