Harrah’s Ak-Chin Hotel & Casino

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

Course is in fantastic shape and is one of the best in Arizona

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

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.

Definitely one of the best public courses during the summer as far as conditions.

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

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.

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.

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.

Great course, challenging but still fun. Great conditions even in the summer. One of my favorite courses in AZ.
