Bunkers need attention

Course is considered one of the better courses in the Phoenix area. Range chipping area and putting green all good for pre round warm up. Course layout is excellent. Tees were not well groomed and even level on several holes. need to be rolled. Bunkers were plentiful and not in very good condition. Some areas had several inches of sand while other parts of the bunker were basically bare hard ground. Staff was very friendly and the post round of complimentary drinks ($15 vouchers provided at checkin) were well made by Kayla and delivered with a smile. Not the best value for the money compared to other Phoenix courses.

Southern dunes

Played an early morning tee time here. Course was in excellent condition. Worth the drive if you're in Scottsdale. Tons of bunkers which require some planning of how you'll play. Fantastic course.

First time out

This course is awesome! So much fun to play. The course was in great shape, greens rolled true on every putt and chip. I had 2 chip ins for birdie so maybe biased on loving the greens.

Definitely follow the advice of the starter in that the on cart GPS is your best friend. You need to know where the 100+ bunkers are.

It's a bit of a drive but well worth it, will certainly be playing again!

A Desert Oasis

Took a chance and found perfect fairways, amazing green complexes, smooth greens and a country club experience in the middle of the desert. Would highly recommend! The starter, Mike Frey, the bag drop attendant, Liam, and the Pro Shop Assistant, James, (named after me) was very engaging.

We will play it again, and try to avoid a higher percentage of the 100+ traps.

Worth the Drive!

Played this morning and everything was great, the bag drop staff, pro shop staff and on starter were all friendly and welcoming.. the only issue was the pace of play for an 8am round took 4.5 hours, new golfers infront of us couldn’t keep the pace but it didn’t ruin our day. Will definitely be back!

Great golf

My foursome had an early morning T Time and had a nice breakfast before our round. All employees we encountered throughout the day were very friendly and professional. The course was in nice condition and we were able to keep a nice pace throughout the round.

Not worth the money

Prime money for average course. Fairways and greens are nice enough hut overall it’s an ugly course. Tumbleweed and garbage on nearly every hole. Play legend trails for better view and less coin

Can't miss on this one!

Beautiful views, challenging layout. Easy to see why the course is used for AGA and USGA qualifiers and events. Course is in GREAT shape. Very fair if you keep it in play, but you'll need every shot in your bag if you get out of position. For $100ish with tax, it's a bargain compared to other "high-end" courses, amd it puts other $100 courses to shame.

Hour drive each way for me. I will definitely play it again!

Phenomenal Track

Southern Dunes was a phenomenal experience. From checking in, practice range, and course were all superb. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Plenty of beautiful scenery and wildlife on the course. Traps had soft sand. Some holes involved carry, but were no issue. Pace was exceptional and staff was fantastic. We had breakfast prior to our tee time and the food was outstanding. I recommend this course to those that want a challenge and exceptional customer service.

Traps

Course was great with a big exception of the traps. They were rock hard with no sand. If your going to charge 130.00 you can’t have traps with no sand !
