Harrah’s Ak-Chin Hotel & Casino

Course and weather was perfect. Only downfall, new clubhouse is not completed

Overrated track. Greens were splotchy. They were also so firm and dry I couldn’t hold PW from the fairway. Driving range looked like it hasn’t been mowed in a week. Major let down considering the hype of a top 100 US public course.

The course design is great, each hole is unique and requires thinking. The traps are plentiful and make the course and your strategy challenging. With that said the traps aren’t consistent and some are dirt. We started 20 minutes past our tee time which is always irritating especially when it’s 8:00.

Presently there is construction on a few upgrades at the course. Otherwise the course is in very good condition. Fun track!

The best course in area. I recommend vourse to anyone. I can not wait to golf there again.

Very hot out but the water bottles every 2 holes were great! Greens a bit slow but I'm sure not rolled due to heat; traps firm dirt, which wasn't good. Overall nice track; especially on hot deal.

Great layout, great views, great weather, great course

If you’re looking for a course in the Phoenix area that doesn’t feel or look like you’re in the desert, this one fits the bill. More Papago or Raven-esque with greens and tees close together, easily walkable, and lots of trees on the outside and around the layout. Greens were in okay shape. I used to live in N Scottsdale and play all over Scottsdale and PHX metro. When I read top 5 in AZ, I was assuming We-Ko-Pa, Troon North, Grayhawk, Ventana Canyon, The Gallery, Las Sendas, Wildfire, Sunridge Canyon, Quintero, and the like. Only took one picture of a long, deep fairway-skirting bunker. I wasn’t wowed.

This course was wonderful. Everything was fantastic, very well maintained, friendly staff, great food after the round. Really worth the price especially if you're doing a golf trip like we were. Bring your sand wedge, you'll need it.

Well designed course, wide fairways. Challenging shots into greens. Bunkers are true hazards

Well maintained course with a very professional and friendly staff. Course is challenging and makes it fun.

Course has a reputation of being one of the better courses in the Phoenix area. Sits about 30 minutes south of Phoenix Sky Harbor airport in Maricopa. Staff very friendly. Practice areas all good. Range, chipping green, bunker and putting green. Course layout is excellent. Holes layout visible and separated. Several tees needed to be rolled to level and groomed. Well bunkered but the bunkers need a lot of attention. Very thick sand in some spots barren hard pact in others areas in the bunkers. Greens rolled true and fast but were not receptive can’t remember repairing a single ball mark or any others on the greens. Post round of drinks and wings were good and served with a smile. Received a $15 voucher when checking in at the pro shop. Good friendly staff inside and outside. Starter Bob friendly and informative. Average value for the $225 green fee. Better value courses for around the same green fees would include The Legacy, The Raven, Papago, Aguila (best value in Phoenix) and the Whirlwind courses.

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.

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.

Awesome course that can be played multiple ways. Will be back again

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!
