McDowell Mountain Golf Club

We played the Thursday of the Waste Management Open which is evidently one of the busiest times. There was also an hour and a half frost delay (evidently also not uncommon the week of the open). All that being said, once we got started, the pace of play was great. We played in 4 hours which it seems is fast for most public courses in the valley.

The staff both in the club house as well as on course we're very friendly and helpful. There was a regular appearance of the course Marshall which helped to maintain the pace.

I would definitely recommend this course

I come to Arizona at least once a year to visit family ,and when I do I bring my clubs and play at least 4 to 5 times . I was playing another course in the valley when the guys in my group suggested I play McDowell and also tonto verde . Well I did them both back to back days and would say without a doubt that McDowell is by far the nicest course with just a great layout . No stupid holes or bad setup .just a great job of making this course playable for everyone . I will definitely play here again and would suggest it to everyone. You can definitely tell that when it was taken over and upgraded that it was properly.

Course was in great shape, excellent design, traditional desert golf. Clubhouse is beautiful, fish tacos were fantastic, cant wait to return and play again. Course is located near town but when on the course it feels like you are in the middle of the desert, only 1-2 holes with homes. Even saw a roadrunner on the 10th tee box. Teed off at 12;18 and easily completed 18 and Sunday is happy hour all day at the 19th hole! I researched all the local courses before coming down, sooooo glad I book here!

Really enjoyed the variety of the holes. Very good practice area with best driving range I've seen in town.

Course was in good condition and the staff was friendly.

Course was in good condition after several days of rain. Fairways were a little soft, but playable. Greens were rolling very true and a bit faster than expected. This is the old Sanctuary course with reversed nines and a new name.

Played the day after Christmas, had plenty of tee times available and got us right out. We were paired with a third and only had to let one single player go through us early on. The course was in great shape and was relatively busy, but had no delays. Food was excellent after the round and they had a drink cart that made plenty of rounds on the course.

bring your own gps as yargdage is scarce on the course. Some interesting holes and fun to play off the back tees.

Weather was cold. No wait on the tee boxes. Course in excellent condition. Got a good rate at golf now- so will come back again.

A little overpriced for what you get. The course did not meet my expectations. Staff were friendly.

Having cart path only was the only negative of the day. Just coming out of overseeding, I found the course in very good condition. Tee boxes and fairways were great and the greens were in excellent condition but slow. I really enjoyed the day and would love to play this course again.

Course was in excellent shape although with the overseed it was cart path only which made the course more difficult. Very nice views of the surrounding mountains and the valley. Greeens have moderate to severe slopes and quite a bit of undulations.

Great course and good value. Only remark was this was the second time I booked with golf now and then show up to golf to find out its cart path only for golf carts. It would be nice to know the course rules before confirming a tee time

Otherwise great exercise and fantastic course

Course was in great condition. Cart path only due to overseeing. Greens were slower than it should be.

Greens were still a little fuzzy so putting was difficult it will be better soon.

SLOWEST GREENS I HAVE EVER PLAYED ON AND THISIS THE FORTH OVERSEEDED COURSES I PLAYED THIS WEEK. BUT THIS WAS THE FASTEST PACE OF PLAY.

Loved the set up. It was cart path only, but we still finished under 4 hours. Greens were very slow, and bouncy, but that was understandable at this time of the year. The value for the price was average, but under these conditions they could have been a tad lower. I miss not having GPS on the carts. I really liked how they set up the yardage on the card. I was able to play the correct yardage for my game. I would definitely play it again when conditions inprove.

Scraping course in preparation for reseeding 9/28. Parts of course very dry and in pretty rough shape. No prior indication of condition on website. Wouldn't recommend at this time.

Played one week before the course is scheduled to be overseeded, and it is obvious that maintenance has been cut back. Fairways are uneven and a build up of grass clippings is evident. Greens were uneven in speed and quality. For the money, $29, I suppose it was a reasonable deal.

This was first time playing this course and wish we had played before. Nice course. Good for all abilities. Great condition tee's fairways and greens. Staff were very approachable and friendly. One recommendation would be more guidance such as course plan with layout of hole tee to green. This may have been available in pro shop but was not readily offered. Still nice experience. Loved the deer . Thanks
