DO NOT PLAY! Avoid if you respect your own time in any form…

AVOID

I have never been more frustrated on course. I know there are jokes about a 6 hour round, but when you have OVER 4 groups waiting on a par 3? Something is wrong. Our round took 6 FULL hours. Some of you may be thinking, what about a marshal? Oh no he was there, he drove by as fast as he could and tipped his hat every time I tried to wave him down to ask. But it’s not the marshals fault, rather the 8 minute tee time separations, and the poor management.

I understand courses can be difficult and slow down pace of play, but how does a course like costs mesa take 6 hours. Absolutely waste of money….

Oh the conditions were ok. The grass was green and for a 6 hour round I guess that’s all you can except.

Best part is I went in and the staff told me, oh we don’t have this problem with weekday pre 9am tee times. Really… really? Great help buddy.

Absolutely so disappointed and just frankly ruined the Saturday.

Do not come here on the weekend if you can, it’s the worst experience on a golf course.

Great value, bad pace.

Can't beat the course for the money, but be prepared to wait. Pace of play is tough at best.

Decent price, decent track, watch for incoming balls.

Both tracks are always in good shape and price is typically under $40 depending on time of day. Pace of play can be great if you tee off super early, otherwise expect a 5 hour round. Watch yourself as the layout is very forgiving which is great but also people hitting their shots in to your fairway or even when your on the green as just the other day I was waiting to putt and a tee shot from another hole rolls right past my feet.
