Great course
Really enjoyed playing and would definitely come back. Greens were in great shape and since we were the 3rd group off, pace of play was amazing.
First Time Time/Won’t Be the Last
A great layout and fun to play. As with any course there were a couple holes, I would play differently after having played it the first time. Overall, a very enjoyable course with challenges yet not unfair. Looking forward to playing again someday. Picture is 18 tee.
This course is fantastic
Challenging and fun course in great shape. Awesome views and awesome pro shop/bar restaurant area. Top notch practice facility.
Staff was friendly and hardworking
Boo!
The range has no grass
Over-flowing garbage cans on the course
No water in any of the water stations
No ranger, slow play
So basically this course gets way too much play and Arcis golf is struggling to manage his newly acquired property.. for true golf enthusiasts, stay away.
Good to be back
I originally played the course when it was Sanctuary and that was almost 1t years ago. The course was a little dry but expected for this time in AZ. Fairways are reasonably wide but desert will bite you if you get off line. Greens in great shape and FAST and undjulated. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Look forward to playing in the fall
No concern for the handicapped
I had reserved for us to go out as a foursome. One of our players is handicapped so his wife drives him when we golf which would have required 3 carts. Somehow, the staff were unwilling to provide an extra golf cart and make an exception, so he went home, unable to play. And the course lost the revenue. We have golfed at numbers other courses in the Scottsdale area where such exceptions were made. So much for concern for customers or that my Arcis card made any difference..
