McDowell Mountain Golf Club

Great layout and not bad for walking (with the exception of getting to and from a couple of holes). The course was very well maintained. Green fairways, very nice tee boxes, gorgeous sand traps. The greens were a bit slow, which was surprising. The marshals do an amazing job of keeping the pace of play at 4 hours (we tee'd off at 7:30 so pace wasn't much of an issue for us, but the range was packed around noon so I could imagine it gets a bit more challenging later in the day).

Next year, we will definitely plan to walk the 18.

Group in front was two holes behind. Ranger did nothing. 5.5 hour round.

We played this for the first time. It is a nice layout with no hidden surprises. Both my hubby and I enjoyed this and would play again. There was a frost delay and our 12:58 time got moved to 1:28. The pace of play still allowed us to finish. Yay!

enjoyed the round immensely.. Paired up with another single and a twosome. Very tricky greens, seemed to roll forever and easy to misread. Course was in very nice condition. Will definitely return if the price is right.

Great price on Golfnow! Really like the layout and design. Plent of room off of tee boxes. Greens rolled fast and true. Only complaint is the weather ...we had sun, wind, and rain throughout the round. It Didnt keep us from finishing. A little tip of advice....some holes play short for long hitters. Had to apologize once for hitting into green side bunker....also couple short par 3s that are really tough to get close with front pin locations. Wedge game must be on!!!

Great layout, well maintained, professionally and well run. Loved the course itself. Major problem -- no GPS and marked sprinkler heads are few and far between. One of the most poorly marked coursed I've played. Mentioned this in the pro shop and the response was "yeah, we get that a lot". Well, if you get that a lot, you should do something about it. In spite of the overall high quality of the course, I would not go back simply for this reason.

I enjoyed playing value golf at the former Sanctuary Golf Club over the past several years each time I visited the Scottsdale area. The trade off was you played on rock hard fairways and a few holes were squeezed in, but it was a fun course with some unique holes. You could always count on running in to a few vermin as well. When I recently showed up the pro said I wouldn't recognize the place including the name. He was pretty much correct. But the good news is that they retained everything that I liked about the old course, but improved many of the tight holes that had great potential making the course more playable. They also added five star conditions and spruced up the whole facility. The course has very entertaining par fours with a blend of long holes and short holes, and good variety in the par threes. It is definitely a course to add to your line up if you are visiting the area.

Great deal on golf now. Very nice layout with excellent customer service! Played in less than 4 hours. Pick the right tees as course plays long. We played gold and into wind some of the par 4 I could not reach in 2. Large tricky greens very nice bunkers with consistent sand. Overall very nice day!

Impressed with the conditions, great course with some great views. Starter allowed us off early and staff was super friendly. Definitely will be back!

Very nice course, challenging, but fair, greens are quite deceptive with undulations that are hard to see.

Brought friends from out of town to Mcowell mountain. This was my first time there. From the greeting at bag check-in to leaving the facility, people couldn't have been nicer. Course is in great condition. We played as a foursome at 945 on a Saturday and finished surprisingly much under 4 hours. We saw a ranger about every 3 holes. 2 rangers riding the course kept things moving even though it was cart path only (only 2 more days of that) and windy early. Definitely will return.

Beautiful, rolling course with a variety of differences between holes. My wife and I will play it again.

Course was in great shape. We were a twosome and we sailed around the course until we finally caught up with a single on the 14th hole from then on it was slower but we still finished in less than 4 hours. Cart girl was great and gave us cups of ice for our water, she came several times to offer drinks and check on us.

The greens were extremely slow which is to be expected just out of overseed. Otherwise conditions were impeccable. Great layout. Fun day (I shot even par, that helped).

I was greeted as a "golf now" customer that was given a bad time ..... wasn't the best course to play with electric wires everywhere! Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I will not be back.

I ALWAYS PLAY WELL AT THIS COURSE, IT IS MY FAVORITE COURSE IN PHOENIX

From the starter to the bartender the entire staff was happy we were there. The course was recovering from over seeding but was still very nice. Highly recommend and will be back soon
