This is the landing zone on a par 4. Brutal “fairway” lie. Photo submitted by dubjac on 09/05/2022

#5 approach shot. Cool shot with the mountain in the background. Photo submitted by ryantjeerdsma on 09/24/2013
Fantastic even after the monsoon that delayed us…
Great course! No drainage issues even after the deluge of the storm that hit right before our tee time. Can’t wait to get back!
Over priced for cart path only
The course was in great shape. The staff was alright the pro shop staff kinda snotty especially the Gail at the desk she thought she was high and mighty. The starter was nice. Way over priced for cart path only. The rates should be $25.00 lower due to cart path only which is BS. Should be 90 degree rule. Not cart path only. Come on folks get with being user friendly you’re screwing the customer. We’re not playing the PGA here.
Great course
I played right after over seeding so it was cart path only. The greens were a little slow but I attribute that to the maintenance. Great layout. Will definitely play again
Getting much better
Recently played this course while under some renovations. I can tell this is coming along very nicely and very excited to see its results. I think it is going to be really good.
POOR VALUE
If you are going to let the course go in the summer, you can’t charge nearly this much to play it. If you’re going to charge this much, you can’t have 50% or more bare patches in the fairways. Took over 5 hours to play as well. Really odd layout, as hitting a 6 iron off the tee on a par 5 and then hitting a 5 wood into the front bunker on the second shot is an odd way to build a course. Felt like they shoe horned it into this location.
Terrible
This course has potential, but is terrible. Actually terrible is an understatement, more like horrific. Teed off at 7am, still took 5 hours to play. No Marshall. They use 7/8 minute tee times which just destroys any chance of getting around in a decent time. Oh and the course is in terrible, excuse me I mean horrific shape. Fairways extremely spotty, but mostly just bare dirt. Greens look like they never healed properly from aeration. Absolutely fraudulent for them to ask anything over $20 to play. Mark it down as another course ruined by Arcis.
Not a good value
Arizona in the summer is always tough to keep a golf course in top shape. But if you are going to charge a very high premium rate like $90, you have to at least make an effort. Fairways were 50% dirt, bunkers had large rocks in them, greens were spotty at best. There are many courses in the valley in much better shape and charging half of what this course did. The layout is odd as well, as I've never had to tee off with a 6 iron on a par 5 and then be able to hit a 3 wood into the front bunker? It's like they had to pigeon hole the course into not enough land.
McDowell mountain
Greens were above average. Multiple bare spots on parts of the course, mostly around the mounds, overall condition slightly above average
Overpriced
This is the worst condition I’ve ever seen this course in for the amount of money they were charging there was no grass on the fireways at all and the greens were shaggy and horrible.
Very poor condition
Course is in very poor condition. Fairways are bare with virtually no grass. Greens are uneven and very slow. Worst course we played on our vacation. Felt ripped off. Give it a miss.
Terrible shape
Course was in terrible condition. We were given a pass to replay for less than 1/2 price but only AFTER we paid for our round. Then we were informed that “the fairways were in bad shape but the greens were excellent (not true)” as most still had aeration holes and were quite bumpy and uneven. Disappointing round
