Harrah’s Ak-Chin Hotel & Casino

Having come down to the Phoenix area from Canada for 12 years now, I can honestly say I make sure I play this course every time I come down. It would be a shame not too! Everything from driving down the lane to the clubhouse, to the friendly staff, practice facilities, perfectly manicured fairways and the truest greens, to leaving and reminiscing about the day on the drive home...it just doesn’t get better! And the food is incredible! Highly recommend. You will be hard pressed to find a golfing experience that matches Southern Dunes in all of Arizona!

There’s simply no better place to spend the day in the phoenix metro area. The layout is challenging. The greens roll true. Hands down my favorite course. Worth every penny!

Had a great afternoon with some college boys from Denver area, who were prepping for the Desert Amateur being held this weekend. Played the blacks just so didn’t delay the boys. And to see what I could do. Though I’m long enough, was 50 yards back of the flexible kids. Got a chance to play lots of clubs I haven’t in a while, scored pretty similar to what I would have shot from the blues. Very challenging course one way or the other. Greens were a bit grainy versus last time we played, so speed definitely was a challenge to get correct. If you have never played here before, quite the treat, know your yardages to the bunkers, or you will be in all of them.

A beautiful facility and immaculately maintained.

With the exception of the bunkers. First time playing, so unsure if I caught them at a bad time. But there are SO many bunkers throughout and they ALL seemed to lack sand. They were just like hitting off dirt back home in Texas.

Great layout. Challenging course. Very good shape. Tons of sand traps.

They do a terrific job. Course was in excellent condition, the staff does a good job keeping things moving in a friendly way. Must play.

GPS was not set for pins. When cart path only exists it adds confusion to yardages and club selection

Very nice course. Perfect conditions. Would return for sure.

Hard to pinpoint the reason you should play here. The golf course - spectacular. The facilities are second to none. The service was something from a different era. We feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this gem on our vacation here. I’m just a guy who plays golf, but here I felt like a golfer.

This has to be the best coarse I have played in a long time. No wait time. The coarse is in unbelievable great shape. Thanks for a great round
