Great course! Can’t wait to play again.

Great experience on my first time playing here. I just moved here from the Orange County Ca area and looking to join a CC. This is definitely my top choice. I really loved this course and cannot wait to play again. Green fees were priced fair for non-members and have nothing negative to say.

Used cart

I know overseeding has been complete for several weeks. I did not realize this was cart path only when I booked this round. Also, was not informed that the driving range was closed at this time. And, to get to the clubhouse for a cocktail before the round was not a convenience as construction was going on all around. With all this, I did not want to play there. Thankful it was a beautiful day!!!!!!!!!!

Not impressed with amenities or staff communication

Great location, but did have any amenities for food or drinks. Limited staff on site and literally no communication at all. Lunch facility on the turn was closed at 200pm on a prime Saturday in November. Not a well managed experience at all and was very disappointed for the price to play.

Rough Greens

I know the course is only one week out of overseed so can’t expect it to be in excellent condition… However while fairways and tee boxes were very good, the greens are terrible…. They are very rough and impossible to keep a ball on line. Course probably shouldn’t have opened until greens filled in better.

We used a Troon card 2 for 1 today so only cost $85 for two of us… But without that deal, wait a couple of more weeks until greens get better ..

Great course tee to green

Just over one week away before overseeding and course was in great shape. Undulating greens and some challenging pin placements are a good test of skills despite the slope rating. Will definitely repeat !

The staff is amazingly friendly! Kudos to the whole staff who treat you like a member when you’re only paying $65. Yes, the greens are very undulating but roll true. The rest of the course is in immaculate condition, especially for September in Phoenix. Only downfall is you’ll need mosquito spray. But totally worth it

Ridiculous Nicklaus greens

Very interesting new community.

Quality of the turf was up to PGA National.

The only issue is the greens, Ridiculously ondulated with pin placement in impossible places.

It is your course if you want mini-put greens.

Great property

Nothing to say about the entire place. Very nice. Up to the nicest place in Florida. The only issue are the greens. Superb conditions, but small, ridiculously undulated and shave all around.

What a disappointment

I was so looking forward to this course. For $ 55.00 bucks plus taxes and fees you would think it would have been in good shape. NOPE. I can get better course conditions for $ 25.00 bucks at the Legacy Golf Resort.

The layout is nice but some of the design elements do not make any sense to me. A lot of the greens are shaved on 3 sides and then the 4th side is steeply shaved slope that goes into the dirt or rocks. This is going to really slow play down when they get busy.

The greens were very bumpy and the fairways were below par. Lots of areas of spotty grass.

I will NOT be back for a year or two. They are not going to have the course conditions fixed until then.

It's also Legacy.. a trash course in the eyes of tournament golfers wonder why it's priced cheaper?

I'd play here again

Staff was excellent. Great fairways & tee box's. Greens were challenging & fun, but the condition wasn't as good as other Troon courses I've played. However, the course is fairly new. Overall, a great experience
