Harrah’s Ak-Chin Hotel & Casino

Great round as always. Back 9 is always a bit slow and BRING YOUR BUG SPRAY

The only negative is the lack of sand in some of the traps. If it was not for the sand traps I would give this course 4.5* but with the traps it drops to 4.2*.

It's cart path only for a few weeks and just a reminder that this course is totally walkable and may play even faster that way. Everything is terrific except the mosquitos. There has to be a way to spray for them like other courses do...they were really bad.

Absolutely insane that they would allow golfers to book tee times while even their staff gets swarmed by mosquitos.

Cart path only due to overseeding , that time of year,, greens were slow, and mosquitoes were intense,, and I’m from Winnipeg!

Terrific staff, great layout will play again,, just on Feb or March next time

We play here a few years ago and try to play again this time. The course is still a very beautify and challenging. It is a bit dry but still play well. We play later tee time. The bug came out at night and it bites you hard. So bring bug spay if you play late.

Course was overbook plus had qualifier practice given this week tournament. Was only able to play 9 holes given pace. Management should not allow groups of 6 people that went out in front of us plus individuals practicing for a tournament/qualifier. If this was suppose to be a practice day for a qualifier then the course should have been closed to the public while this occurred.

Management should give a 9 hole rain check given issue like this and pace of play!

Great layout, fantastic conditions, friendly staff. The course is a must play if you are coming to Phoenix for golf. 5 sets of tee boxes for all abilities, there are deep bunkers to challenge those who do hit the ball a little off line so bring your A game when playing this track. Well worth the extra drive.

I love playing Southern Dunes before the prices skyrocket. It’s such a great tack with first class facilities!

Southern Dunes is one of the best layouts in the Phoenix Valley. It is both challenging and rippable.

The variable is always course condition. The greens were a little slow but overall the course was in good shape.

It is a must play if you are visiting Phoenix for golf.

The course was in great summer shape bunkers are a bit hard but with the weather we have had that is understandable. Fairways are solid and greens rolled good!

Ak-Chin is always a fun course,,challanging with all the well placed bunker - it makes for a more strategic round of golf. Crews where busy cleaning up the course after it was hit the night before by a strong wind storm - but play was not impeded - great track

The course was in great shape the and the greens were in excellent shape for this time of year… except the bunkers were the only thing that were inconsistent. There wasn’t a lot of sand in most of the bunkers, even the green side ones.

So the moral of this review is to hit the ball better and stay out of the bunkers
