Not a bad course

Fairly challenging course and layout, lots of water in play. A couple par 4s reachable to long hitters but very well guarded. Par 3s were all good length (cuz I know most ppl hate par 3s over (200 yds). Greens were well kept, and conditions were good, however the bunkers were AWFUL. All hard dirt and rocks, which made playing out of them very unpredictable. Probably my biggest beef. There’s a good stretch that is lined with houses too, my buddies pegged a couple. Overall fun a decently priced.

First time on this track

This course has a nice layout, however, this is not a course for big hitters. If you carry 250-270 off the tee you will be in for a “rough” game. Otherwise, the track was good - conditions on the greens were good but the fairways and Tee boxes need some work. My only complaint is the pace of play. This is an easy track and should not have taken 5hrs to complete 18 in a cart

Cart oath only

The 2!rangers they had were very rude and disrespectful. I have golfed for the bee 5-7 years at various courses and never been treated like this on. A course. I wouldn’t waste my money here again....

Bumped out of reserved tee time

They bumped me right out of my reserved tee time. I had a copy of my confirmation but did no good. According to Tee Off someone from Glendale staff deleted my tee time. Worst part is I traveled thirty five minutes each way to the course. I will say the staff was trying to be as accommodating as possible with the mix up.

Sand Traps are like concrete

The course overall is well maintained, nice greens, nice fairways but the sand traps are atrocious. They are mostly dirt with very little sand. Most of the time I have to pull my ball out because it's unplayable. I did complain after my round and they showed me a plan to renovate the bunkers which is fine but why the Heck can't they get a few yards of sand and at least put a fresh layer over what's there? Additionally their COVID-19 foam doughnuts are way to big. I've played many courses this year and these are the worse, the ball skips over the hole when it should drop. Cut a smaller diameter piece and lower it another inch. I've been to courses with an alter flagstick, no foam which are great maybe look into that? I also despise the fact that you can't take the golf cart out to the parking lot to load and unload. I still think this is a nice place to golf and would be even better with those improvements.

Glad I booked it

A group of us were looking to play and tee times were going fast so I booked this course on a whim. Boy am I glad I did. The course was beautiful with a challenging but fun layout. I will definitely play here again.

Decent place

Decent course that could use some upkeep. Many town homes and houses surrounding the course. Good place to play

Not in good golf shape

I’ve play this course a few times, but doubt I’ll go back. The course was not in good condition, the “sand traps were mud holes and unplayable. The fairways needed some work and a little water. The greens were just ok. I like the layout, but not a fan of back to back par 3’’s.

Great condition, brutal pace of play

Course was in awesome condition, fairways were a bit soft as were the greens, but there was almost never a bad lie (other than an open divot on the fairway, but that calls for free relief, right?). Shorter course, as the tips (blacks) played at about 6100-6200 yards.

On the flip side, there was no marshall driving around enforcing any sort of pace of play or course etiquette. We had a foursome in front of us who never let us play through (we were a twosome) and continued to mope around the course, searching day and night for drives just to drop a ball. This is not a vent session about bad golfers, it’s a call for help to educate newer golfers on golf etiquette. In addition, a marshall driving around would have been nice to give them the hint.

The clubhouse manager/employee? Is beyond rude. He seemed annoyed to provide any service to anyone. Must have been a former cop or something.

Challenging course

Enjoyed my round. Several challenging holes and lots of water. Greens in very good condition. Some brownout on fairways but generally good condition. Friendly staff

Not for the high handicapper

I am a 100 shooter and a casual golfer so take that into account

This course is about as tight and penal as it gets. Just a small miss and you are either wet or OB. Not a place to grip and rip.

A thinking golfers course. You need to plan your shots. The bunkers have no sand so like hitting off concrete. Pace of play was OK. Not fun to lose a dozen balls so quit Keeping my score after 9. For a more skilled golfer - a great time. My son shot an 80.
