Last minute

Was able to secure a single spot no worries. Unfortunately the driving range was closed due to par 3 starting. Otherwise the starter got me out on time at 2:20 for full 18. Manicured like higher priced courses. In Maricopa, plan for a relaxing drive. Enjoyed my round with guys from Iowa, Mike, Eric, and Dr. Mike. I’ll be back for sure!

First time and I will definitely be back!

Didn’t know what to expect and was unsure of the 50 min drive from Scottsdale, but from the moment you pull up to the bag drop the staff were very friendly and and welcoming. The range setup was great and practise greens were in great shape and very true. The starter was funny and got us off to a great start. The course was in immaculate condition. The pace of play was great you never felt rushed but also never had to wait. This course is just as good or better than any in Scottsdale for a fraction of the price. I will definitely be back to play everytime I’m in the Phoenix area.

Over priced - $$$$

Understaffed. Heavy rain, with pour run off, that morning and no one to help get water off the course. Fairways were generally 1/2" deep in water, bunkers all had Ponds of water, greens are mainly elevated and pourly airated thus, as hard as rocks (heavy foot prints from previous days = not rolled out).

We had carts but restricted to cart path which were all one 1 side only, therefore would have been better off walking.

2 groups in front had same issues and also not too pleased.

Prices appear to be jacked up for the Waste Management Open week. $349.93 x 3 = $1,046.78.

Sorry Southern Dunes but it is what it is.

Course is one of my favorites in the valley. Always in great shape and the staff has always been great. Greens are in great shape and quick. Bunkers not bad for Az and the fairways are plush. Great practice area to warm up. Was another great day of golf!

Top 5 course

Obe of my favorites. Other than a few bunkers the course is in great shape. The grass range is the best in the valley. Got paired with Raj,Gopaul and Mike and they were great to play with. All the staff were great. A must play track with lots of challenge for every level

Cart Path Only

Played on 2/2/24. Heavy rain the night before made this a cart path only day which slowed down play tremendously. The course was still a little saturated and some of the bunkers had standing water. However it was still in amazing shape and the greens are in perfect shape. One of my favorite courses in AZ

Price on Golf Now was not honored

When I booked the 2 person tee times in December - the agreed to rate was $135.00. On arrival to the course, Southern Dunes would not honor that agreed to price - instead charged the rack rate of $185.00. I was in no position to argue as the round was an Xmas present to my guest. This is completely unacceptable, and as far as I'm concerned Southern Dunes should owe me $100.00. I'm also asking myself - what is the benefit of using Golf Now if prices agreed to are not honored. I am a very unhappy customer.

Great course

I looked up best courses to play in The Phoenix area and Southern Dunes was on the list. I was not disappointed. The course was in good condition, the layout was very good, and the pace of play was on point. I would recommend this course to anyone visiting the Phoenix area.

Walked

Great shape ...

Walked (with electric cart) in just under 4 hours with three guys paired with me who rode.

Course (greens, fairways, tees, traps) is in great shape. One of my favorites in the PHX area, despite the drive, and always play multiple rounds here each January/Feb when visiting.

For the FIRST time in years, there was WATER in the wash in front of #17 tee that prevented me from walking through to reach the fairway. Have had plenty of rain, lately, but still a surprise.

Fun Course, Superb Design

This is a fun one. Great condition, greens were true. Wide fairways with lots of risk/reward par 4s. The par 5s yielded plenty of birdie chances, and a good mixture of long and short par 3s made for a really fun layout. Bunkers are perfectly placed to make you think through each shot from tee to green. I played from roughly 6500 yds (blue tees) as it was my first time seeing the course, plus heavy rain the day before made everything play longer. From the tips this course would be a beast given all the bunkers and fairly small greens.

Good round of golf

Fantastic welcome from all the staff, particularly Tim and Mike on bag drop.

Unfortunately the day was very foggy so it was difficult to see where we were going for 10 holes.

Interesting lay out and fast greens.

Played the round in 3 hr 30 , didn’t wait once.

Good burger at the grill afterwards.

Definitely worth a visit

Top 5 Course in AZ

One of my favorite courses in Arizona! Was in perfect shape from tee to green! Some of the bunkers could use a little more sand but that just nitpicking. I love this course

Best of the trip

Played 3 round in Phoenix and Tucson this trip. This was easily the best staff, best practice facility, and best conditioned course.

Great time and staff moved us up when we got there early. Everyone was very friendly and the views are awesome. No housing on the course. Greens were pristine.
