Not the best course but fun

This course is not in real good shape but I like the versatility and it has never been busy while I have played there so it is a good course to practice using different clubs etc.

Great for beginners

A fairly easy course, perfect for beginners like us. Not at all crowded, so play was at our own pace. No sand hazards, minimal trees and water hazards, so no balls lost.

Very Poor Course

The course has really gone down hill since I played it a few years ago, the weedy greens is the same weeds on the fairway just mowed shorter. The greens were very rough & uneven, hard to make putts. It's really to bad this course is in this condition because it used to be a fun course.

Worst course ever.

Hard to tell the greens & fairways apart except the weeds were cut shorter on the greens, brutally hard to putt on. It was just crap.

You’re kidding right?

Ok so I played it because I’m playing all courses in Arizona. This one while cute, is not really a golf course, it’s a park. The greens are horrible, and there was no staff. I was the only golfer on the course. It was a good walk, but this course should close

Not a Par 3

Booked thru Tee Off app and it said it was to be their 3 par course but to our surprise it was on their regular course. It was a good course for all levels of play. Very nice course for the money.

Nice little short course, good layout & fun for practice & hacking it around, but the fairways & greens are in poor condition. Just a bit more watering & TLC here and there needed, then would be a better course….
