McDowell Mountain Golf Club

The staff & pace of play was great. The course is in good condition considering this time of year. Greens aren’t up to par on most holes though.

Five hours is too long, no ranger out there helping with pace of play, course in rough condition, no beverage cart after 11am

Apparently this course didn’t get the memo… you can’t charge premium rates when the greens, fairways, areas around the greens, and tee boxes are crap. Don’t waste your money, go somewhere else

They just aerated the greens, which are still playable, and discounted to $39 for afternoon tee times. Yes it's hot here in Scottsdale AZ, but the course conditions are amazing for a Phoenix area course.

Included in price is cart, with ice/water bottles, and a detailed course map, very helpful, as well as two small bags of balls for warming up at the range. You can't beat it!

The course was average with a serious lack of fairway yard makers to the center of the green. It was a total guessing game on distance and club choice. Come on McDowell Mountain Ranch Golf step up your game. You are in the middle of golf Mecca!

Course was recently aerated and bumpy, but it should have been. Great rate and I knew the conditions when I booked the reservation. For summer conditions, the course was in great shape. No complaints and will definitely play this course again.

Greens we rough sure to aeration, and they discounted green fees accordingly. We got done with 18 in 3.5 hours, players spread out nicely. Rest of course in great condition. No amenities like drink carts etc, due to low season. Will play again.

Have played here a lot and will never go back. We booked the first tee time (6am) because generally, that ensures a quick round.

After arriving at the course, we learned “corporate” bumped back our tee time to 6:08am. Nbd. We flew through the first 9 holes in a little over 90 minutes only to learn they had been starting people off the back all morning. At the turn, we had to wait for 5 groups to tee off, and then the back 9 took over 2.5 hours to play. Every tee box had a 10 minute wait. Brutal.

The management was indifferent, the starters were confused and helpless, and the overall experience was miserable. I understand golf is popular and Arcis wants to increase revenue— I’m all for that concept, just charge more for our round, don’t make us miserable for 5 hours.

Very slow pace of play. Course conditions are average. Better options in the valley. Arcis Golf worst managed course. Got to Grayhawk and pay the extra for a better experience.

Greens were so good, fairways great, good tee boxes. First time playing this course and it exceeded expectations! Range is solid, plenty of short game areas, friendly staff, good restaurant, list goes on. Can’t wait to play here again!

Booked an early round (tee time made through pro shop), just to find out a scramble tournament was taking place… very slow.. 2-3 foursomes on tee boxes the entire back nine. We discussed with manager/pro shop post round and they were annoyed we were upset.. tried explaining we would have appreciated the heads up when booking originally.. they did very little to rectify the poor management of their tee sheet. Stay away unless you have 5 hours available!

Overall course layout and conditions were good for a mid-level expense course. Bunkers were a little hard. But overall enjoyed it. The cart attendees were helpful and welcoming, the Marshall was friendly, but the person behind the counter was not. I could not find service at the restaurant before my tee or at the turn. Asked the pro shop attendant but they were not interested in assisting…. I was unable to buy any drinks or snacks between 630-11am, lame

Had an amazing day out on the course. The staff was awesome. Chuck the starter was a great guy. Very friendly and had a great conversation with him. The course was in great condition and played well. We even played another round cause pace of play was so fast.
