McDowell Mountain Golf Club

I have played here many times. Course is very popular with locals. Very comfortable place to play, people are very nice, staff retention is very good. Most holes have very open drive landing areas. Always in very good condition. Excellent practice facility; in fact, it is a very friendly place to go if all you want to do is practice. New clubhouse went up about 3 years ago. Restaurant is very nice with excellent food.

It would have been nice if we were informed that the greens were in such bad shape. I will never play here again .

Would been nice to know that the greens were punched

Been playing this course for years and they continually make tweaks to make it more enjoyable/playable. Staff is always very welcoming. Foursome played in 3 hrs!

Would not have played this course if not for GolfNow. Course is pretty wide open, making it player friendly. I will play this course again and again.

The biggest challenge facing a player at McDowell Mtn Ranch is driving accuracy. If you are going to score well here you need to be able to control and place your drives. Don't have to hit them long, just keep away from the obvious hazards and you will set yourself up to for a reasonably good chance for a par and the occasional birdie. If you tend to stray your drives you could be faced with a lot of low percentage second shots.The greens are in good shape and will hold the ball if you execute the

approach shot properly. The greens roll well and are very true to what you read.

Use good course management and you will enjoy this course.

A great course that is in very good condition.

Very nice layout! The combo tees were perfect for us! Not too long and just enough short to have fun!

The group in front of us were clearly European professionals as they waited on every hole for the group in front of them to clear the each green.

Didn't see a marshal pushing them along.

Bar service was sketchy as we needed a bar manager instead of our server to close out the tab. And I think I saw the head cook flag her down to bring our meals. Not what you'd expect.

But the course was exceptional and the pro shop staff was clearly on their game!

We'll be back.

Good for mid to high handicap players, but not much

of a challenge for low handicap or long hitters.

Minimal amount of hazards results in women friendly

layout.

Course restrooms need attention :(

Played early on Sat.-first off-and played in just under 3hrs. Course gets busy later in morning.

Very nice layout and conditions were very good. Fairways run very fast and course may play an little shorter than yardage on a calm day. Wind may certainly add length. Greens showed a little more play and were a little slower than some of the higher end courses played but still rolled fine. Looking forward to playing again.

The proshop and outside staff were

"spot on". Starter was on top of his game as were the marshals. The restuarant and bar staff were lame, but the beer cart girl was great. The course was in good shape, the greens rolled true though not as fast as I expected. Pace of play was exactly four hours. I enjoyed the round and will definitely try this one again.

The course was in great condition. The greens were a bit slow but there had been very heavy rain the night before. Views were great. Staff very welcoming. A great experience. Will definitely return

Golf course (fairways and greens) was/were in very good condition. Course layout was interesting. Pro shop and restaurant/bar was outstanding. My only suggestion would be that a couple of golf carts had seen there better days and probably should be retired with new ones put into service. I/We enjoyed our day of golfing here.

Great staff, excellent pace of play, nice facilities, but mediocre course

Paid $108, have played better courses in peak season for half this price. Greens were ok, tee boxes and fairways were usable, sand in bunkers was way too deep and cheap sand. Most bunkers had not been maintained and were very crusty on top. Course layout will bore you to sleep. A couple quirky holes here and there but not enough to make us return. Staff was friendly enough and dining/bar area were outstanding. But the course....not so much.

Nice course and reasonably price. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Greens were a little slower than used to but ran true and were consistent.

I'd recommend as a play to friends.

Terrific staff. Course is challenging but doesn't beat you up. I did play with 3 regulars and they gave me some tips on where to play away from. There are a couple of long stretches from the green to the next tee, but one regular did walk it. The bar/restaurant is great. I plan to play this course again when I return to AZ.

Great course for the price, excellent condition, will for sure return for additional rounds

The rough is very desert. Can recover but hard to hit out of the rough without damage to your club. Beautiful course in great condition. Interesting layout.

Enjoy this course and it's beauty for a deal. I wouldn't spend more than we did $93/person.

One can score well if your putting and chipping are on. THe greens are very challenging.

Enjoyed it very much
