Golfer Reviews
Fabulous!
Really enjoyed this course! Challenging but not too tough, awesome scenery, great condition. The deal on golfnow made it even sweeter!
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice AZ track.
Nice Course
No one in front of us, no one in back of us....went out as a 2-some. Had a great day.
Nice afternoon
Nice course, very friendly staff. Power line going through the middle of the course, tho. Expect to pay $18.00 for a large bag of range balls.
Great course!
Everytime I play this course I have a great time. The yardage difference between the championship tees and two sets of forward tees plus women's tee's make this course either very challenging or very managable for any handicap. Fairways, rough, traps, and greens are always well maintained and the rangers do a great job of keeping groups on pace throughout the round. Nothing more you can really ask for when it comes to having an enjoyable round 5 stars all around!
Look forward to playing it again!
Played in just under 4 hours on a very nice course. I was lucky and played with someone familiar with the course and that helped for the 1st round.
Nice course
Nice course, very good condition. Marshalls very friendly and understanding. Overall a very nice layout and experience. Amazing mountain views.
A must play
Fairways and greens were in great shape. This is a. very fair course. Keep it in the fairways and out of the bunkers and you will be rewarded.
It would be nice if there were washroom facilities on the course.
Almost perfect. but...
Enjoyed our afternoon at McDowell Mountain. Course in very good shape; no major complaints. Had issue with paying what is typically a three figures greens fee then having to pay extra for range balls...Stupid. Service in the patio grill was ridiculously slow..wound up hurriedly banging a few range balls and running to 1st tee.. Played in about 3h 50m, almost unheard of today.. power lines take away from the views and nice backdrops...
Overall a good experience. The course was very forgiving and open but the tough greens protect low scores. Ranger was a little pushy to get us to the tee and then noticed we were early and become more friendly. Only negative part was waiting 12 minutes at the turn for two hot dogs which caused a bit of a backup on 10 tee and caused us to feel rushed until we caught up to the group ahead of us again. Overall a great course, fun to play and would play again for sure.
Worth the drive
Very nice golf course, pace of play and conditions are excellent
Exceeded expectations
Had a great day out at McDowell Mountain Golf Club. The facilities were very nice all around, with an excellent practice facility available. Course is a fun challenge, in great shape, and the greens roll true and fast. Courteous staff. Completed the day with a nice meal on the patio of their beautiful clubhouse. Highly recommended and good value.
Good layout with great greens and fast.
Bunkers need a little help with more sand but overall a great experience
