Verrado Golf Club - Victory Course

Great day of golf but the tall gentleman that was the starter that day was a little too talkative. He kept on the tee box for 13 minutes. The group ahead had already walked off the green and he was still talking. We finally teed off and then he came back to tell us that we were already late and running behind time…. That remark wasn’t necessary.

Nice people, nice views, absolute garbage layout. Bailed on the tips after the front bc practically every tee shot is blind and there’s no yardage guide. Highlight was playing over what looked like a dogleg right to find it actually went to the left a little and ended up deep in the desert. The drive between holes is insane - a handful of times we legitimately wondered if we had gotten lost.

There’s so much great golf out there, no reason to play something that’s just built to sell real estate. Whatever kind of golf this is, count me out.

The greens were just recently punched, but with the smaller gauge holes. The greens overall were fast, but not very consistent. The surface was very hard and it was difficult to keep a ball on the surface. They definitely needed watering. The pin placement on nearly every hole was harsh. Several were right on the edge of slope or drop offs. We were wondering if the greens keeper was just in a bad mood. The holes had not been cut in awhile as the edges were all fuzzy and the grass was going into the hole.

The fairways are showing some signs of heat stress. Oddly there were strips or sections of the fairways which were very wet. Pace of play according to the card in the cart is supposed to be 4 1/2 hours. This seems slow to me. Since we had to wait on the groups ahead of us, we ended up playing in just under 5 hours, which is slow. Golf balls at the range were mostly dead. I haven't played here in quite awhile, but I usually like this course. It was just a bit off this time. It just wasn't the higher end course I remembered.

5 hours and 15 minutes round on a 100F day in AZ is not acceptable. Nobody on course to help with the situation. All pro shop had to say is sorry.

Beautiful course with great amenities and very nice staff.

Victory course is a great layout, excellent variety of holes, and interesting shots. The greens are amazing…very large with lots of contours. Play this course!

Victory course was in great condition. Windy conditions but still able to manage. Only gripe that I had was finished round at 4:45 and the kitchen was closed...on a Saturday. My son and I wound up going somewhere else to eat but it would have been great to wrap out our golf with some great eats on the course.

Great course. Perfect weather, cold beer and nice staff.

The course conditions were OK for end of April. Very dry overall but to be expected at this time of year. Bunkers were in good condition and had plenty of sand. The greens were extremely fast and didn’t seem to run very true. Tons of previous hole cutouts and spike marks that made it very bumpy at times. Pin placement also felt unnecessarily difficult. We saw multiple snakes during our round, which again is to be expected, but it also meant that if you hit the ball in to the desert areas at all it was not worth trying to find. I’d play this course again but probably not right now or during the summer months given the dryness.

I really like this course! It is beautiful, well layed out, challenging and run well. Everything is in good shape. The groups are spaced well enough that there is very little waiting.

I like it even better when it is hot and the price comes down!
