Great day for golf

Three of us played and enjoyed our round of golf. The course was in good shape. The greens ran true. Good value for your money especially in comparison to some other courses in the area.

Always an enjoyable round at Francisco Grande

Francisco Grande GC is not your typical AZ golf experience. Great staff all around. Fun, challenging course that is probably one of the sternest tests of golf around. If this course lacks anywhere it’s probably the condition of some fairways and tee boxes. I normally come prepared to ‘bump’ my ball a bit. However, they do an excellent job with the greens and are always smooth and in good shape. I really love this place because it offers an incredible atmosphere with the hotel looming as you play the course. Go easy on your course upkeep judgements because you can still find great value for your $ here! I’ll be back again and again.
