McDowell Mountain Golf Club

It is a shame that I will not play this course again. The people in the proshop do NOT know what they are doing, especially when it comes to Golf Now.

I enjoyed the round. Didn’t get to play with a group but the course is well laid out with a number of very interesting holes. It is well worth playing.

I enjoyed this course very much. The narrow farrow fairways and quick greens made this course very challengin. I would call it a great desert course.

This course is overpriced. This course has nice wide fairways very fast greens and no views or trees. It's grossly overpriced. This is a $45.00 course not a $90.00 course. The clubhouse is nice but a cup of tea is $3.50. Everything says it's trying to be a country club without the country club flare or the staff to support it. The ranger was condescending, no water on the course, and because there are no trees the wind blows through. Apparently, golfers who play there like don't like to fix their divots, lack of respect for others. This course has nice wide fairways very fast greens and no views or trees. It's grossly overpriced.

When I booked a tee time for this course, in view of the fact that it is considered a desert course,I envisioned having to hit over actual desert areas as compared to the desert areas that were on either side of the fairways.I was not disappointed at all and I enjoyed playing the course.

I enjoyed playing this course. Beautiful weather. Course was in good shape. No real complaints except it could have played a little faster.

Got a $10 Saturday afternoon hot deal round. Can't beat that! Course was in really good shape, green and lush...except for a couple of bunkeers that I noticed appeared to be in bad shape and a bit rocky or had some overgrowth in them. Greens rolled nicely and seemed fair, not too quick or too slow. I played my 18 hole round in just over 3 1/2 hrs. Enjoyed the layout very much. First time there but wiill be back for sure, especially if I can find some nice deals like that!

Excellent service, very friendly and helpful staff. Great course for seniors like myself. No need to have to hit it a mile but still a great challenge. Definitely will play again.

Thanks for a great day.

We traveled for a golf trip to Scottsdale and was looking forward to playing this course. Unfortunately, right from the start we did not have a good experience. Right after we tee'd off, a Marshall came and asked us to skip the first hole because THEY we're falling behind with the tee times. We had a Marshall come up twice more on the 3rd hole which was a Par 3 where we had to wait for people to get off the green to play. By the 4th hole, I was so frustrated when a new Marshall came up for the fourth time of only playing three holes and started telling my friends and I that we shouldn't be playing that course even though we hadn't fallen behind much. After that the Marshall basically said to stop playing after 9 holes and get a refund, but we played on and let one group play through who we stayed right behind the entire back 9. If the tee times are too close together or you can't put together logistics that allow ample time for players to play, then you can't turn around and blame the players. They knew it was going to be a busy day, but had no alternate plan. And if they really thought it was going to be a problem from the beginning of our round, they could have told us and we would have thought about this differently. I loved the course and the setup, but the staff made my experience sub-par for all of the front 9 and I would find it hard to play here again or recommend this course to a friend.

Great holes and scenery. The only issue is the power lines run alongside about half the holes. Clubhouse and restaurant offer excellent sunset views and good food.

Booked a 6:45am tee time as I had to be in Scottsdale for an 11:30 lunch. Starter wanted two "friends of the course" to play alone at their request. Instead of allowing me to go ahead and fly through the course (6:45 was the first tee), the starter had me wait until 7:09am to play with two seniors and behind a 4-some. Course was in GREAT condition other than rather slow greens.

Was allot of fun. Course was in great shape but pace got really slow on the back side. Course had great happy hour prices to boot so it was a great day

Basic muni type course. Scruffy in parts.

Lots of powerlines nearby.

Not worth going out of your way.

Attempted to play this course yesterday, did not know that they were preparing for overseeding, would not have booked it if was aware!! Ground hard and has been scarified, no watering has been done in preparation for next stage. The only saving grace was the hospitality after the round at the 19th!!

Got a smoking deal as they are getting ready to over seed. Greens rolled way faster than they looked. Some shorter holes which makes you think off the tee. Nice bunkering but as most courses needs some more sand.Nice views of Mc Dowell Mountains. Joined up with another guy, we were done 18 in 2hrs 15 mins ran into a foursome on 10 & they let us play through ... Thxs guys.

Looked forward to playing this course for first time but was very disappointed that the driving range was not open for warm ups. Course was preparing for overseeding. They should note this in on-line booking sites, so consumers know real-time limitations. Regardless, fairways were cut tight with no second cut. Greens were good. May return when the grass grows back.
