Friends Golf Outing

I always enjoy playing out here as it different than the course you find in the area. It is quirky but that is what keeps us coming back. Coming out of over-seed the course still needs time to fill in. Tough to keep carts off the course when the paths are limited between the tee box and the green. But with a little water and daytime heat this course will be really nice in a couple weeks. There were 8 of us with the females teeing off in front of the gents. Pace of play was excellent. Staff were great as well, and the 19th hole was a nice place to end our round. We will be back and we look forward to it.

Conditions could be better

Conditions were just average, tee boxes were a mess, some of the greens were pretty questionable. OK value for the money.

First Time Playing

San Frisch Grande

Could be a nice course if the condition was better. Must be a few thousand gopher holes on the course. Found three with my drives. Luckily found my ball, but not what I would expect for the price. Layout is very nice and enjoyable but not one tee box was level and lots of bare spots on the middle of fairways. Greens need lots of work to be putt able. The one bright spot was the bunkers had nice sand but lots of grass growing in them. Was very excited to play ther only to be disappointed with the condition. I understand they are closed during the summer so might be nicer later in the season but then the price goes up. Too many better course to play for the same money. .

Just reopened

Course just reopened and the oversees had dramatic effects on the putting surfaces and rough. Greens were definitely slow and spent a bunch of time looking for balls just slightly off the fairway.

I liked the layout and the variety of trees framed most of the holes. I will give it another chance just to see the progress maintenance makes.

Lots of fun, needs work though

This course was a lot of fun to play. I am no talented golfer but it was a fun challenge! It wasn’t busy this time of year which was nice because I didn’t feel rushed while playing. The amount of trees on the course were a fun challenge and great laugh since my husband seems to never miss a tree!

The course has great potential but the condition was rough. It was very hard to push a tee into the ground at the woman’s tee box and some of the greens were really rough. There are a lot of rodent holes all over the ground, which provided a great laugh when I stepped in one and face planted (I’m okay don’t worry)

In all I plan to play this course again. Casa Grande is the middle meeting area for my brother and I to get to spend some quality time in the course together so this will likely be a regular we will visit.

This used to be an excellant course year round, my have times changed. with all the people moving to casa grande, you would think they would wnt to keep it up, but it looks like soccer in king now..

Decent for the money

Title says most of it. Hard to beat 33$ with cart. That being said, little heavy on water and had bugs pestering on most holes, and that price point brings our BEGINNING GOLFERS,
