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.

Very Enjoyable Round

This course exceeded my expectations. From the friendliness of the staff at arrival to a course with a solid layout in excellent condition and a fun round played in 3.6 hours as a foursome, everything was great. And with the cost of golf in the greater Phoenix area in January, the cost was reasonable. Would play again for sure if only to challenge the 9th hole on the North Course again!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!

We’re thrilled to hear that your first round at Palm Valley Golf Club exceeded expectations — especially with some windy conditions in the mix. Finishing in 3.6 hours as a foursome is fantastic, and we’re glad the pace of play helped make it such an enjoyable day.

It’s great to know our team made a strong first impression and that you found the course in excellent condition. Our staff and agronomy team work hard to deliver a welcoming atmosphere and a layout that’s both challenging and fun.

And yes — the 9th hole on the North Course has a way of calling players back for another shot at it!

We truly appreciate you choosing to play with us during your time in the Phoenix area and are glad you found the value reasonable for January golf. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon.

All the best,

Justin

Highway Robbery

This golf course has a good layout and could be a really good golf course but it’s not.

We played on a Saturday. Greens are very slow. Tees and fairways hadn’t been cut for several days. Bunkers are so poorly looked after. Bare spots all over the place. The lack of care is absolutely ridiculous for the green fees they charge. Taking full advantage of fools like us that actually pay such a price to play such a dump. We knew it was overpriced when we booked but did not expect the conditions to be this poor. The owner is filling their pockets with money. Certainly not putting anything back into the golf course.

Hi Cory,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent round at Palm Valley Golf Club. We sincerely appreciate you visiting us during your time in the area and are disappointed to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.

We’re glad you enjoyed the course layout, but we take your concerns about course conditions very seriously. The items you mentioned — green speeds, mowing schedules, bunker conditions, and overall turf presentation — are areas we work hard to maintain daily. Weekend play in peak season can present unique challenges, but that does not excuse an experience that feels below the standard our guests expect, particularly at our posted rates.

We understand that visitors have many options when choosing where to play, and we regret that we did not provide the experience you anticipated.

Sincerely,

Justin

Course conditions

Played out here many times over the years. Course conditions were bad. Long uncut grass on tee boxes, fairways and the greens were dreadfully slow. Bunkers had been worked on years ago but they’ve gone untreated and hard clay is under the sand so your wedge just bounces in bunker and a skull shot is inevitable. The practice green wasn’t mowed and cups had grass growing over the holes

Not a fun format..

So they have three 9 hole courses that are well maintained. The greens were slow/ overgrown but they may have cut them by now. Only complaint is with the mixing of 3 courses you are sure to hit a snag at the turn and have to wait 30 mins or more to start back up. It's just not fair to your patrons. I probably won't be back.

Great Day

I took my son out for his 1st round of golf, and we had a great time!

Overall, the course is in really good condition. The greens are in good shape, as were most of the fairways. It's been a long time since I played here, but we'll be coming back for sure.
