Fairmont Scottsdale Princess

Group ahead was drinking and having a good time but not keeping up pace. Also did not rake any traps or sand any divots. Parts of course under construction but did not affect playing areas. Staff very friendly.

Ended up only playing 9 holes because of monsoon rain and lightening...only got back 30% of what we paid! Should have just given us a 9 hole rain check instead...Our cart also had a GPS that didn't work, they brought us a new cart, but not until we were on hole #5...very disappointed with all of this because course was in great condition and we were looking forward to playing here...

What a track! As a 15hcp with an average drive of 240, still played the blues. Was still able to pull off a 93.

Greens were much slower than anticipated.

The course was in outstanding overall condition. I played like I’d never held a club before, but I don’t hold it against the course.

Great price for a quality round. The grass is green and the fairways are not burnt and patchy. Hard to find in mid summer. A lot of other courses are in rough shape, but not here. Lots of airplanes flying low over the course, but I actually found that cool. Would def play again.

Playing a course that is a regular stop on the tour is humbling. You see their shots and your imagination plays tricks with you as you imagine playing some of the same shots. Then you realize, you are a 16 handicap, not a tour player, and the course is an indeed challenge to play. Yet, it is a fun course to play with superb fairways and greens even in the summer when I played. It can be costly and you need some advanced planning to score a good tee time but persist, and you will have your own memories of the two or three tour level shots you hit whihc always keep us coming back for more.

Fun course and it was in great shape. The greens were fairly slow but in great shape. Verti-cut, mow and top dress, greens will be pure.

Fun afternoon ended early due to weather.

Happy to have had a chance to play it. There are a lot of courses I like better as I enjoy not being right by a major highway, the 101. There are so many wonderful courses in the mountains throughout the greater Phoenix area that we prefer to play.

Layout was good course was in good shape. Greens still had a little fertilizer on them but still rolled good. Staff was great very friendly and helpful. Would recommend and plan on playing again.
