No Shade At All

Very, very nice course. Challenging but fair. My only issue was the expensive price ($90) with very little shade at tee boxes and greens.

Extremely hard course.

Great course in very nice shape. Incredibly hard golf course.....especially of tees. Have to play it a few times to know where to hit it. Course is great though. Just look at scorecard and know the tips are over 7300 yards....it's a long course so choose tees appropriately.

Must play

This course is an incredible design with 106 bunkers. You have to lay up in spots and play smart. Will definitely return here!

Hot weather

First timer won't be the last time.

Very friendly staff. Everyone was helpful. GPS on all the carts. Bottled water every 3 holes. I started about 10:40 at 103 degrees. Finished 4 1/2 hours later at 115. Greens were excellent. Some of the traps need attention (very hard or crusty). There are numerous dry spots around the course but what do you expect in 100+ temps for several weeks. The course is mowed well and they are keeping it up during the summer.

Fantastic Golf Course

It has been years since I played Southern Dunes. I was so looking forward to my round. I was not disappointed. Great job to all Southern Dunes course workers. The fairways, bunkers, greens and tee off boxes are in magnificent shape considering how hot it is here.

Slow pace of play

My tee time was 6:24 am and unfortunately I still had to wait on every tee box to hit with the weather being very hot. I thought it would be a 3-1/2 to 4 hour round at the most and it was 4 hours and 40 minutes.

Not worth the drive

Absolutely terrible customer service! I played and left a club there. When I called the next day, the guy in the pro shop described the club perfectly to me and said it was there. A few days later, I drove the THREE HOUR round trip to go pick it up just for them to tell me they didn’t have it anymore. Instead of trying to do anything to make it right all the the guy said was “I don’t know what to do other than say I empathize with your unfortunate situation.” With customer service like that, Doubt I’ll make that trip again.

Worth the Drive

Pace of play, 4 hours 18 minutes. Good but not great for the heat of 110+. Facilities great, maintained well. Free water on course every 3 holes, practice range included. Only saw cart girl (supposedly there was 2 scheduled w/one calling in) once which was tough but great day. The secret is out, always fun and very challenging. Greens were above average on pace (they punched shortly after 7/3 tho), bunkers of which there are many were pretty solid, fairways and tee boxes great.

Easily Top 5 AZ Course

People crack me up on this app. They expect PGA Tour conditions in the heat of summer in AZ for a course that’s under charging under $70. This course is one of my favorites in the phoenix area. Layout is amazing and challenging. It also plays pretty long (7500 from the tips) which I love. I’ve played all the popular courses in AZ (Quintero, Troon North, Boulders, Wickenburg, Keirland, We-Ko-Pa, etc.) and this easily a Top 5 course. No complaints from me.

Did not meet expectation

First time playing this track after all these years. Pretty rough for a Troon course. Bunkers were shaky.. What sand some had wasn't much and others were packed dirt, weeds and rock. The 2 we were paired with just dropped out of the traps. Fairways were okay, greens were inconsistent, some fairly bumpy. Not a good time for an hour drive.

Challenging course!

Beautiful course laid out in the desert. You have to hit your drives and shots carefully as there are multiple sand traps guarding the fairways and greens! It’s a desert course, so there is water on ice at every 3rd hole. And the staff reminds you to drink water to avoid issues. Can hardly wait for the next round!

Hidden gem

One of my top 3 courses in Arizona. Live 5 minutes away so I play at Southern Dunes a lot . Greens recently plugged but still run smooth. Worth the drive! One of the best layouts in Arizona. Everyone on the staff is wonderful. Exceptional restaurant! 6am tee time - 3 hr 20 minute round! Priceless

You better know how to hit a sandwedge

Challenging layout! Bunker beware! They ate big & everywhere! I must say for a course that is routinely in the top 5 in the state. I'd expect the summer conditions to be better

Vacation round that could not have been better! Staff was friendly and helpful. Got paired up with two out-of-towners that were wonderful partners and players. Non-playing friend used the range finder, gave me numbers and I just played great! Greens held everything and putted true. Marvelous views and great architecture to the course. Sight/target lines were clearly visualized and shots were challenging! Despite a bad 18th, still posted a great round that will forever be remembered!
