Fun Course but needs some care

Great Staff but they are hosting at a course that is in pretty bad shape from what we have seen in the past. It was pretty clear they did not over-seed much of the course. Tee boxes bad. fairways you were lucky to have grass and better than a very tight lie. Greens were Ok. Slow but rolled reasonable. Casa Grande growing in Population. Clean up the course!

Diamond in the rough

This is an old mature course with ponds huge beautiful trees it’s a great layout it just needs some TLC but we did have fun. Staff was great and the gal in the lunch stand at the turn was the bomb!! Do not pass that stand without getting one of her hot dogs or brats they are fantastic!! We will definitely go back And play again.

Seems To Get Better & Better

Tee time was 7:45. Got to the course around 7 to warm up a bit. Frost delay stopped that. But that was on me not the course. Got out to tee off at 8. There was a couple groups lined up due to the small delay but after we started the pace of play was excellent. No hurry. No waiting. Perfect. It was chilly but didn’t mind that. Warmed up by the back 9. The course is in great condition for the value and the staff are friendly and very helpful. Couldn’t ask for much more Freon a course in Casa Grande. The layout is fun and the tee box’s can offer you many options. Plus the practice facilities are top notch. Making it a point to play once week and go to the range a couple times a week.

Better maintenance!

This course could be such a gem! Obviously money is an issue maintenance wise! There are a lot of swamped areas in the fareways. Greens were quite slow.
