First time since new ownship
GC being managed well. Course going thru weather transition and prob needs more watering. Only issue is bunkers are like concrete. Was told the management knows and the cost is about 40k to overhaul the bunkers. IMO, up the fees just a tad, and do the bunker project.

Very good course, pace was nice 3:55 min on a full tee sheet.
only one real disappointment, the bunks were like concrete. A bonus would be to add reflective tape to the flag stick to make yardage capturing easier.
everything else was good from the pro shop, bag drop staff, starter, restaurant all good.

Good course for a group
We had a group of 8 and it worked out well. The warmup facilities here are outstanding.
The course itself is in good shape and plays very fair. The on-course services were OK, but not great. The "food truck" at the turn was very slow and out of several items and wasnt super friendly. We ended up getting stuff at the main bar instead. The on-course cart was good but never saw it after hole 12. Thats when you need it most. After round cocktails were excellent along with good food in the bar.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us and the 5-Star rating. We apologize for the inconvenience you faced with on-course services. We appreciate your feedback and will work on improving our customer service experience. We look forward to your next visit to McDowell Mountain Golf Course.

Great course. Overpriced
I enjoyed my round at McDowell Mountain but $244 was too much to spend. I’ll look for cheaper price next year.

Very enjoyable course
I had played this course just a couple of times prior. They seemed to have improved the range hitting surfaces so there is grass . The tee boxes, fairways and green were in good shape! I don’t recall waiting more than a few minutes any time during the round. If there is one improvement really needed, it’s the bunkers.
Staff was friendly and efficient and price was good for an in season rate.
