Good for practice
In decent shape. Good for practice and most greens are nice.
Windy
Played here twice this week and very windy both times. Fairways are dry and hard. Greens hard and fast. The course is "AVERAGE" and what you would expect for the price. Do wish they had a marshall as 3 older men in front of us were playing Blue tees and hitting driver 150 yds. All 6 of their "over water" P3 shots were wet! Talked to foursome behind us and they said "no problem, they would just pace behind us!
Awful
Tee boxes and fairways are dirt, greens are ok on most holes , the only good thing was the pace of play considering it was busy but I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money playing here.
Fransisco
Great layout. Course is getting in better shape every week we golf there .,but they need to address ground squirel problems
Enjoyable round
Pace of play was good staff were friendly . Although the course could use some TLC totally look forward to enjoying our round
Got our money worth
Good Value
Course has a fun layout and pace was good. Nice warmup area and a friendly staff. Only downside was no beverage cart on the course. Ramada bar at the turn was ok but it does impact the pace when starting the back 9.
needs some TLC
Played this course for the third time this year and there is some improvement each time we play there. It's a great layout with some very interesting holes and some undulation. The par three's are all pretty good. The fairways are a bit spotty and the greens have some patches but it has dried out from what it was a few weeks ago. There are lots of gopher holes. Lost a ball in one this round! For the price this time of year its a good deal. Hope they keep up the improvements.
Should be in better shape this time of year
Overall we enjoy playing here and the price is great considering the exorbitant winter rates charged at other Phoenix area courses. The staff are super friendly. Our main beef is with the overall course conditions. The greens were mostly rock hard and many of the fairways were scant. They should consider paying closer attention to the course conditions.
Tournament
Slow play due to a tournament that started at 8:00 am shotgun start but it was slow play for sure
Second time playing
The starter had issues with me having a rider, even though I was willing to pay any additional fees. This wasn't my first time playing this course either. I had been sent many previous times before as a solo with no issues. There were plenty of carts available to use as well. Couse conditions was muddy. It's an historic site and a decent course if other options aren't available.
