Jewel in tge desert!

I had heard about Francisco Grande but never tried it until this past weekend, 12/13/2021. The course went farther than my expectations. Very well groomed tee boxes, fairways, approaches and greens. They have restrooms and water spaced nicely around the course. I had no idea this emerald green course was here in Casa Grande but I will certainly be booking the majority of my future golf here. Yes, the course and hotel have been in Casa Grande for many decades but if you're a golfer, the experience will have you making return reservations to this oasis in the desert! Just 10 minutes West of the Pinal/Florence intersection in town.

As I stated earlier, the course is well maintained but all golfers young and old should repair their fairway divots and greens ball strikes. It's the right thing to do on such a beautiful course.

I will include pictures on my next review!

Enjoy your round!

Tim from Casa Grande
