Great round

This is one of the few times at any course I've seen a marshall actually push a slow foresome who got quite snotty with him apparently.

If a course will send marshalls out to actually manage pace of play it makes that course top notch to me.

Great Track

Played 18 on this course in over 100° weather. Course was in great shape, staff was very accommodating and friendly, and it is a very enjoyable place to play. Not too difficult, unlike other courses I have played this course is not in the desert it is in the middle of a city. So you don’t lose a lot of balls to the desert! Would play again, very great location.

Course wasn’t in the best condition. Tee box’s were super long, bad shape and very hard to find a flat spot. Won’t play this course again.

Another great day!

Palm Valley is a great little gem on the west side of Phoenix. For how much traffic this golf course gets, it’s worth the trip. They can probably do a bit better with pace of play, but that’s everywhere.

Not worth cost

Had an early morning start times(2) because we had 5 people. When we get there they tell us they will add another person to our cart or pay another $35. Note, when scheduled, cart fees included. The tees have no details on the hole, so you have to decipher the score card. Course in good shape, but so are most in AZ. They also are stuffing starts on both front and back 9. So now the back 9 takes us an hour longer because new groups are still being squeezed in. Avoid this Course if you want it to be enjoyable.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your round on 03/01/2026.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, particularly regarding cart arrangements and pace of play.

Regarding the cart situation, our standard policy includes shared cart fees, and additional rider or single-rider requests may result in an added charge. That said, we understand how frustrating it can feel if that wasn’t clearly communicated at the time of booking. We will review how this is presented during the reservation process to ensure expectations are clearer moving forward.

We also appreciate your comments about on-course signage. While yardage and hole information are provided on the scorecard and GPS, we understand that detailed tee signage enhances the overall experience and will share this feedback with our operations team.

As for pace of play, we do utilize both nines during busy periods to accommodate demand, especially during peak season. However, an additional hour on the back nine is certainly not the standard we aim for. We continuously monitor spacing and flow to maintain an enjoyable round, and your feedback helps us evaluate where adjustments may be needed.

We’re glad to hear you found the course in good shape, but we regret that other factors detracted from your enjoyment.

Friendly and helpful staff. Course aesthetic was just okay

The only downside for me may not register for many and that’s great. There is a whole lot of plain dirt areas around fairways which is good for making it harder to lose balls but it just doesn’t look like a great course because of that. Staff was great and the speed of play was as well. So if a picky review on the aesthetics just off the fairways isn’t a big deal this is a nice place to play - wide fairways and a nice variety of home designs to enjoy.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful review, Cory.

We’re very glad to hear you found our staff friendly and helpful and that pace of play met expectations. Creating a welcoming atmosphere and keeping rounds moving efficiently are both priorities for our team, so we truly appreciate that recognition.

We also understand your comments regarding the desert landscape areas surrounding the fairways. As a desert-style course, portions of the property are designed with natural terrain rather than lush rough throughout. While this can help with playability and ball visibility, we recognize that aesthetics are personal and that some guests prefer a different visual presentation. Your perspective is valuable, and we’ll continue looking at ways to enhance overall course presentation where possible.

We appreciate you recommending the course and highlighting the wide fairways and unique home views. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another enjoyable round.

Mix up

We had to play the same nine holes twice, as a tournament was being held on the other 18. This would not have been a problem except we were not notified of this beforehand, and there was no reduction in the rate.

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent round.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration caused by not being informed in advance that a tournament would impact course rotation and that you would be playing the same nine twice. Clear communication is extremely important, especially when it affects the structure of your round and overall value.

While tournament play is a normal part of operations, guests should absolutely know ahead of time if their round will differ from the traditional 18-hole routing. We are reviewing our booking and communication procedures to ensure this type of situation is clearly disclosed moving forward.

We also understand your concern regarding the rate. Perceived value is directly tied to expectations, and we regret that we did not align those properly in this case.
