Golf Course needs Maintenance
Overall the course is pretty good. But it has had major irrigation lines leaking so the majority of sprinklers do very little or nothing. Therefore there is little flooded areas all over leaving most of the course totally deprived of water. This problem has been totally ignored for a long time????
Great greens!
This course was in the best shape I've seen in a long time.
First time we've played this year and we were impressed. Thank you
Average course, but a great value!
We played on a Saturday midday for $45. Friendly staff, nice range, decent layout, but conditions were average at best. But here’s the rub: despite the 45-minute drive and $20 of gas, the all-in cost for two of us to hit range balls and play 18 was still only a little more than half what we’d have paid to play in the Phoenix area. An absolutely fantastic value.
Traps were hard pan and grass was growing in traps.
Some of the greens were pretty tough but overall it was okay.
Hello,
Thank you for your review from your most recent experience at Francisco Grande, and we appreciate your patronage. We are working on the greens through, aerification and fertilizer, to get them back to their standard condition. We hope to see you back under better conditions.
Hello,
Thank you for your review of the golf course during your last visit. We apologize for the condition of these few select greens. We are working to aerify them and get better water penetration so they start greening up.
This golf course is in bad shape.
This course is completely run down
Not worth even playing for free.
Hello,
Thank you for your review from your recent round of golf at Francisco Grande. Bunkers have been neglected and we are working this week to clean, edge, and refill them with new fluffy sand. We hope you see the improvement during your next visit.
Thank you,
