McDowell Mountain Golf Club

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

This course never disappoints, while it is on the more difficult side, it is certainly always a great time with a beautiful layout and amazing staff always willing to help out. Would recommend this course to any golfer.

I had played this course in season and really enjoyed it. I had an opportunity to get a round in and thought I would play MvDowell Mtn. The cost for summer golf was a bit high for summer but I thought from my past experience it would be worth it.

I was very disappointed to see the deterioration of the course grassy areas. The range had almost zero grass on it. Once we warmed up and started playing the course, grass became a premium on tee boxes and especially the fairways. It’s tough when you hit a good drive in the middle of the fairway and not even have grass to move your ball to.

They charged me $90 and at this time and current conditions the course is not $40. Hopefully they will have a good overseed and return it to its past glory.

DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE!!!! Absolutely deplorable conditions and I was charged $85 plus $15 for simple a bag of range balls. Over $100 with tax on a course that’s is not worth $30 in its current condition! Played this course in the past and it was beautiful, not sure what happened! No doubt management knows this and they still allow unwitting people like us come out and waste our money. Incredibly they blamed it on “water restrictions”……..really!!!! We played two other courses this week and the other two were in great shape! Sadly, they did not try to make amends! Severely disappointed with this place and we will NOT be returning.

Always have enjoyed playing out here. Everything around the course is good but conditions are almost unplayable. I’ll wait until I see multiple positive reviews on the conditions before coming back out

The entire course is in bad shape. Tee box to greens there was more dirt than grass.

Had played TPC Scottsdale Champions Course after flying in for a vacation and had time for a second round of the day. Looked dry as I teed off and then found naked out fairways that resembled brown dirt. Got to the first green and they were punched with heavy times and not enough sand to fill the holes. Should have walked off but decided I was on vacation and to try and enjoy the rest of the round. Should have gone to my resort and had beer and swim in the pool. They should not allow people to even show up and pay money to be on the property.

Always good. Dried out fairways right now. Still enjoyed the round, but had a few crunchy lies in the fairway. Greens are in good shape. It’s a tough course from the black tees. Amazing views from the tee boxes. During the winter months this is an absolute gem and highly recommend.

Over 50% of the fairways on the front 9 arnd 30% on the back 9 are burned out., the greens are half dirt and won’t hold a ball, and the bunkers contain more rocks than sand. The course has a nice track but is horribly unmaintained. Not planning to return..

Slow play, practice area is in bad shape, fairways are in rough shape, lots of burnt areas, so for value I would definitely look elsewhere

Playing at noon. No outside staff around. I had to find my way around. No cart staff on the course. Water was available at most holes.

The fairway and the approach is quite dry so that there is hardly any divot.

First time playing this course and I was pleasantly surprised. I got paired up with 3 awesome people and it made the round even more enjoyable. Tough layout but kept it interesting and not impossible to shoot a low score. I’ll definitely play this again during the summer, but probably not during season because I never really believe in the exorbitant prices for some of the ‘nicer’ courses like this one. But absolutely a value during the hotter months.
