Joe Louis
Course is a great value. Fair course that allows recovery if I spray it around. Pace of play is good.
Joe Louis "Champ" course
I was surprised how much I enjoyed playing this course. It is in the middle of the a run down area but the course is well groomed and has its challenges. I will likely come back to play again. Staff was really accommodating and pace of play was perfect, never ran into any group in front or behind me.
Golf
Beautiful layout, greens. Improving every day. Thanks
Solid course
For the money, this course plays well. Long and challenging but not outrageous. Course was in decent condition minus the bunkers. What’s up with city courses have concrete traps? But a fun track regardless!
Fun course good price
The greens are nice at Joe Lewis the layout is nice. The course had good length at 6800 from the blues. The fairways in nice shapes the tee boxes were rough but acceptable for the price. The pace was ok. I normally walk this course it’s flat and the greens are close to the next tee box.
It’s a good course for the money and has some challenges
Friendly staff
The people in the clubhouse are very friendly and happy to help you. I messed up the day of my tee time, got to the course a day late, and the woman working the counter took the time to get me a refund for the round my foursome missed the day before. Who does that, nobody that works at Fountain Hills that’s for sure!
5 hour + round
This is my 2nd time playing at Joe Louis the Champ. We played as a 4some, with a tee time at 8AM on Saturday morning. The round took over 5 hours with only 4 or 5 groups having teed off before us. We actually were not even able to tee off until 815 because of the slow groups. Multiple groups ahead of us were hitting multiple balls off the tee, and no ranger came out to move them along. A ranger did come by and say that there was one slow group that his "manager" would be speaking to, but it honestly only got slower after this incident. On the turn, there were FOUR groups on the par 4 10th hole.
I asked one of the rangers what the delay and slowdown was, and his only response was "people are getting food". To have 4 groups on a par 4 should be a signal to any club that things are moving far too slowly, but he made no effort to help move things along.
I golf around 2-3 times per week, and because of this experience, myself and my friends will never golf at Joe Louis again. I would also never recommend the course to a friend because of the pace of play issue.
Friendly help
Thanks, Jimmy for correcting my forest preserve golf card, as you know when I tried to reserve a Tee Time the system would not recognize me and required a call to the club house to reserve time. Now that’s fixed and I got a great Tee Time.
Everything was good. Just wish the fairways were watered or just get some rain.
Reliable Track
Course in best condition in a while. Great value. Only missing a practice range..
Great long course for the $
Hard to beat Joe Louis for the money if you’re hitting your drive well. If not, it can be a challenging day.
It got backed up due to several sets of new golfers walking ahead of us, but with the weather we didn’t mind. It’s not the toughest course but sometimes you need that to keep your spirits high!
Great course for the price; excellent staff!
I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Joe Louis “The Champ”. The course layout made it challenging, and the grounds were all in good shape. Amazing value for your money. The staff was excellent. I honestly felt like a member at a swanky country club. I will be playing here a lot more this season.
Great Course, Great Staff
Course was in great condition, staff are very friendly. Lost my wallet on the course and they got it back to me with nothing missing! Bonus points for canned Gatorade
Great Shape
Course is in the best shape in quite awhile. Greens great fairways nicely cut. Also they were blowing the cut grass off the fairways. Fantastic. Great job Jerry Jimmie and the whole crew. Always a good day at The Champ!
