McDowell Mountain Golf Club

course was fine. Mosquitoes were unbearable to the point of running up to the ball and hitting as quickly as you could. No warning from pro shop from whom we bought repellant at the turn at a pretty steep price. Never again.

If a straight hitter not a problem, if a slicer or hooker narrow fairways can cause problems.

Nice track but way overload with players. Will pass at that pace.

Great experience. Staff was very helpful, course was in great shape. Greens rolled well. Can't wait to go back.

THE LAST TIME I PLAYED THIS COURSE IT WAS NAMED SANCTUARY. APPEARENTLY IT IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP AND THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FACILITIES AND COURSE ARE VERY OBVIOUS. THE CLUBHOUSE AND EXPANDED PATIO AREA ARE VERY INVITING EVEN IF YOU WERENT PLAY A ROUND. THE COSMETIC IMPROVEMENTS AROUND THE COURSE PRIMARILY FOCUS ON ROCK FORMATIONS TO DRESS UP COMMON AREAS AND TRANSITIONS. AND THEY ALSO REVERSED THE FRONT AND BACK NINE HOLES TO CHANGE THINGS UP FROM BEFORE. THE COURSE CONDITIONS WERE AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FOR A WEEK BEFORE SHUTDOWN; DRY, SHORT CUT FAIRWAYS AND GREENS. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK TO SEE THE COURSE ONCE IT IS GREEN AND LUSH.

Let me begin by saying that McDowell Mountain Golf Club is a very nice club and a well-designed course. The staff were dutiful and polite, the facilities very nice. I was disappointed in the course conditions, but they were preparing for overseed, letting the summer grass die, and I guess there's little that can be done about that. Needs to happen sometime or another.
What I was disappointed in, however, was the fact that I was unable to get a rain-check when my round got rained-out because "I got the daily GolfNow 12:06 discount rate and we don't make any money off that rate". While maybe true, I found that to be a tasteless response to a first-time customer who would otherwise be glad to come back and experience the full course in better conditions. Not classy, McDowell Mtns GC!

Preparing for overseeding therefore course was in so-so condition. Will go back to see what the condition is in a more normal time.

I have played this course two years ago and because I enjoyed that experience it beckoned me back. Other than just getting ready for over seeding, it was great. The long hot summer had its way with the fairways. Based on the machinery on the course and the scalping I under guess that the over seeding process is well underway. We had a warm day and overall a great day to golf. My wife shot her best score of 106 and I was pleased with my 85. I would play it again especially at the golfnow.com price which was a third off regular pricing.

The course is always fun. Unfortunately, the crews were prepping for over seed.

paired with a father & son.first time for the son and i to play this course. played in less than 3and 1/2 hrs. Course was in good condition for mid summer.

The greens were a little slow but overall were in great condition. They were a little tough to read. It was evident that time was taken to look after the bunkers which is forgotten a lot on course in Arizona. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Played early morning in a threesome in 3 hours. Course is in good condition. Greens are receptive and about a 10 on the stimp. Fairways were firm with lots of roll. Fun course that doesn't beat you up. Take some bug spray if you play early!

I and my golf partner made a great choice when we chose to play MMR. Great staff, good course all in all a great day
Cheers Stan

Always a fun course to play. Kicks your but if your not hitting it straight, love the layout.

Very nice course and worth playing again. We saw no cart staff serving around the course. Greens are in good shape though somewhat undulating. The scorecard provides for multiple tee box options with crossover tee use.

Really enjoyed the course. Fairways were tight but playable. The greens were fast but rolled well. The staff at the facility wasn't very friendly. The only person to smile and greet us was the cart girl on the course.

Not scenic. I'm a ravine do very hot with little air movement. Tee to green ok but greens at best 40% grown in.

Not worth the visit.

Loved the beautiful landscape views. Very pretty course. Course was in great shape. Loved it.

Cool place, good facilities, fun track! Definitely check it out if you want to play away from the city.

Course was in great shape for the end of summer and at a great price!
