Not that exciting

I played the estates course for the first time this week. I found it to be just OK, not very exciting.

No real elevation changes the greens were not so great, the sand was very good!

Next time I’ll play the other course. I’m excited about the construction they’re doing on the new clubhouse. That will be pretty awesome.

Disappointing

I was excited to play the newly renovated estates course, I was very let down. For the price you can play wildfire, which is far far better. The routing on the back 9 is pretty confusing and crowded. There were times we had groups from 3 different holes in our way on shots. Also, they greens were in very very poor shape. It doesn’t look like they added much to the previous links course but the price skyrocketed. If I play again I would play the Links course since it is cheaper. If you’re looking for something in this price range, there are better options for you. This should be on the same level as orange tree. I would only play again if they greatly reduced the price and fixed up the greens (it’s brand new!!!)

Not ready yet

New layout was interesting if a bit confusing. Some greens were in bad shape but mostly pretty good. Huge disappointment was absolutely no distance markets. Normally not a problem but they don’t have gps service with any of the major apps either. Should not be charging what they charge if they aren’t ready for play…

Course was terrible

I understand they’re doing construction, but charging $200 to play a course in such poor condition was a joke. The new layout has fairways playing opposite each other so oftentimes you had to wait while a golfer from the opposite tee was playing off your fairway. Sand on the greens, mowers and maintenance vehicles everywhere…I would not pay more than $50 to play that course again. To top it off for some reason they were cart path only making play even slower. There’s better alternatives in Phoenix.

New Estates Course -- Pass

I was looking forward to playing this redesign course and was highly disappointed. They were the worst greens I've played in years and that's including muni courses. I played it for a hot rate and would have been very upset if I had paid full price for that! You figure the course was closed for so long that the greens would have been in decent condition at least but was far from it.

Disappointed

The Estates course is not ready for prime time and certainly not for $150!

The staff was friendly but offered excuses for the conditions.

The range is soft and chewed up.

Many brown spots on the course for this time of year.

The greens are horrible, mottled, lumpy and slow.

I was told they just got overseeded . Not accurate excuse as I know the difference as I had a career in golf clubs.

The course was also cart path only which wasn’t told to us ahead of time.

Do not open until you are in better condition!

GPS didn’t work and Garmin watch did not have updated info.

Hard to see and navigate.

Great course, good price

Really enjoyed this course. It was cart path only due to re-seeding, so meant lots of walking. Only problem we had was a couple of times we weren’t sure where the next hole was. Not well marked.

Day before overseed but weren’t warned

We paid approx $100 each to play this course which was essentially a dry, dusty dead track. The greens were fine but the tee boxes and fairways were dead. We weren’t warned that it was the last day before overseeing, and as Canadians visiting, we had no idea how dead a course could be. We should have been told that the course had not yet been over seeded and was in rough shape so we could decide if we wanted to fork over that much money.
