Good to Great!!!

Good layout, paid full price and don’t feel the cost justified the actual course. Look for hot deals!!! Staff are very friendly and the course was well groomed. Challenge at an intermediate level and can easily be walked.

needs a little TLC but pretty good

I have played this course several times and each time I see improvement. It is a very nice layout with some really good holes. It is a little bit more undulating than a lot of Arizona courses. The fairways and tee boxes are in god condition. There are a few very wet spots on the course so maybe a sprinkler adjustment might be the key. The greens were fine for the most part but there was some areas that were bare. The bunkers were also pretty good with just the right amount of sand.

The halfway house was open and the service was very good. The starters were both very friendly and kept things organized and running on time. It's a very good deal overall. Check it out.
