Morning view down the Par-5 5th fairway. A strong drive, especially to the center-right fairway, sets you up to go for the green in two! Photo submitted by vmustang on 04/25/2021

Flat, straight forward, old school course. Small greens well protected by bunkers, so good wedge practice. Not worth $100 IMO
Excellent course and staff.
Pro shop staff were excellent as were the starters. Course was in excellent shape. Good value and highly recommend.
Challenging, but fair.
A well kept course with very pleasant staff. If there is one complaint it would be the sand traps in that the sand is a thin layer atop a hardpan that does not permit a proper explosion. However, once used to that condition, it really isn't all that bad. My golfing buddy and I will return next snowbird season.
Good course
This course was good but the pace of play was horrible. If this is the typical pace, it is not worth the money.
Mature Course
This venue is a fun trek and I would highly recommend it.
Stop and have a Capone burger, and see his former AZ home. Don't believe Al ever played golf.
5 hour round, not great bunkers.
Backed up from the start. We didn't tee off until 10 minutes after our tee time. A lot of old timers on the course so we knew it was going to be a long day. Weather was perfect, a lot of bugs on the course until the wind picked up. A couple bunkers were decent, half of them were rock solid, greens didn't have any fringe. On two separate occasions 2 different guys tried to take my buddies golf ball (not a course complaint). An average course for the price but not somewhere we are eager to play at again.
Mostly Good
We play this course frequently because the staff is very nice and the course itself is in fairly decent condition! We get paired with nice people as well. Only concerns now due to recent rain a couple bunkers were full of water and there was standing water in the low lying ground which this time of year brings gnats. The bunkers could use more sand! Golfers need to be encouraged to rake the bunkers, fill divots, and fix divots on greens! Noticed more garbage, marshals could pick up as they cruise around. All in all a nice course and we keep returning!
Good........ But
Nice old style layout. All in all, the course conditions were good. Tee boxes, fairways & greens were nice. There were a few sparse areas in the rough, but nothing serious. I have to agree w/ other reviews about the bunkers. Although they looked okay, they could all use a few inches of sand in them. VERY hard! The greens were very small (as is normal w/ older courses) but rolled well.
The property is quite small (again, normal w/ older courses), so there were many fairways running parallel to each other. The greens & tee boxes are also very close to each other.
There were a lot of new golfers and weekend warriors out, so the place really was a shooting gallery. Balls were flying everywhere from all directions, so definitely keep your head up when you're out there. Even when you think you're in a safe spot.
Because of the golfing clientele, the pace of play was agonizingly slow. It took us 4 hrs & 45 mins to finish. However, it was on a Sunday.
All in all, I liked the course itself a lot, but absolutely hated the pace of play.
Tight Course
The course was in good condition. Staff is very friendly. Greens are small and fairways tight. Would definetly play here again.
