Copper Canyon Golf Club - Lake/Mountain Course

This was the second time out to Copper Canyon. Having played other courses in Surprise at Sun City Grand, I was worried I would get the same attitude from the staff and pro shop I received at those courses. I was pleasantly surprised how nice and welcoming the pro shop was when I arrived, not put out I was playing golf at their facility. The range was crowded, however nice and in nice condition. The starter was very helpful and seemed to actually enjoy his job. Pace was great and the course is well manicured for all the play it gets. I will make the drive again.

Great course. Nice layout. Friendly fairways. Full course with no ranger or cart person. Most traps need something added to them to be called sand traps which is surprising for a course this good.

I love Copper Canyon. The layout, the overall condition, especially the greens. Ths staff is friendly and courteous. But I doubt I'll go back there because the bunkers are garbage. 1/2 inch of gravel stop a clay base as hard as concrete. There are just too many great courses in the area to waste my money being frustrated by one aspect of this fun layout.

Course is always in great shape- good value for this time of year - highly recommend this track

We were greeted by friendly staff and we started right on time. The fairways and greens were is great shape. We look forward to returning..

Copper Canyon is one of the best courses in the Phoenix area. I have played many courses in the Phoenix area and Copper Canyon stands with the best of them. In my opinion they have some of the best greens in the valley. The green side bunkers make it a very challenging layout.

Played first time in October. Some tough holes depending tee you play from. Fairways and greens are well maintained. Definitely would play again.

Played the Vista/Lake combo, the new Mountain 9 was closed - probably until overseeding. Course conditions were excellent. This course has some of the best greens in the valley. Seriously, every course superintendent/greenskeeper in the Phoenix area needs to go to Copper Canyon and copy whatever they do. My only complaint was the design of the new 8th hole on the Lake 9. A tee shot in the center of the fairway will end up in the rocks on the right side due to the slope and lack of any rough to catch the ball. This green is new and understandably not at good as the other 17.

Two things, first the cart had so much Armor-All oil on it that it got my phone, my keys, my rangefinder, my hands....everything oily. Golf balls fly straighter with oil on them but I don’t think this was the intention… Can’t believe how much armor all they put on the carts....ridiculous! Second, I was supposed to play with a twosome they were there and the starter sends me off by myself even though I requested to play with my group and keep us a threesome. If the starter had any idea how Golf works , he would know this was a very bad idea, especially on a busy day with multiple foursomes in front of me. The point of playing together is to keep pace of play on the course. It is no fun having to play through crotchety people as a single. It ruins my experience and it ruins their experience. I don’t recommend copper canyon anymore unless they change their tactics. Hard to have a bad day on the course but this was one of them, even though I did have 3 birdies.

Despite the long drive thru Bell Rd traffic we always enjoy playing here. New 9 was closed so a bit disappointed but original layout never fails to impress. Sand was more like kitty litter but playable.

Starter was very flexible and allowed our twosome to tee off ahead of another twosome since we were ready to go. We saw that group again driving to 18th tee as they were driving to 14. Made for much better pace.

Needs a Beverage Cart on Summer Days. Started before 8am and they still didn’t have someone.

Get some Plastic Tee’s for the synthetic grass on the range. You can’t put a T into it. Too hard.

And the Ranger was very nice, but being told our group was “five minutes” behind pace of play seemed a little overboard.

Other than that..had a fun time with close friends.

Had a great time at Copper Canyon. Staff was friendly. Course was in great shape. Greens Were fast and true.
