Lots and lots of bunkers

Course has a great variety of holes that make you play a lot of shots. You MUST navigate the green side bunkers to shoot a good score, so plan your approach shots accordingly.

Greens were a bit slower than normal due to recent over seeding, but they rolled smoothly. Overall a great day.

Southern Dunes at Ak Chin

Course was in great shape. Back nine had to wait on every hole for up to 10 minutes for the group in front of us. Extremely slow players, but the Marshall apologized but said he was unable to tell them to pick it up because they were ahead of pace. I can't wait to golf the southern dunes again

A gem in Maricopa

Many locals will hate this review but this course is a winner. They value pace of play so they space tee times 8 minutes apart. This can be good and bad. If you are looking for the country club leaisurely smoke a cigar on the tee box pace, don’t come here. If you like a 4 hour round where Marshall’s actually visit you and let you know what is happening, come on down. The Marshall offered us a wet towel for our neck because it was warm! Great track. Lots of obstacles and challenges, but nothing ridiculous, where you leave scratching your head as to why they placed something. 2 carts running around and we saw them 4 times on our round. We ate at the grill. Trade secret, get the short rib grilled cheese, not healthy but yummy. Oh yeah the pro shop had great selection of gear.

Overall a great round and great place to golf. A+++

Nice day on a tough track.

Course as usual was in great shape. Somewhat penalizing if you miss the fairway, but all in all a good day. Only draw back was some slow play of the groups in front of us. We'll be back!

Phenomenal Condition!

Great track. Can be tough, but it's very fair. Course was in perfect condition other than a couple bunkers. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens were in perfect condition.

Excellent Course - worth the drive

This is an excellent and well run course. Probably the best in the “southern” phoenix area. It’s about a 35 minute drive from chandler, and well worth it. Due to remote location its cheaper than the courses closer to town, like Wildhorse Pass and at least as good.

There are a lot of bunkers, so approach shots must be accurate (mine were not - i must have hit 10 green side bunkers).

Greens had been punch sometime before i played, and had not completely recovered. They were fast enough, but not as fast as the people who play there a lot thought they usually were.

Plus they have iced bottled water every three holes. Drink it. I didnt drink enough and ran out of gas on 18.

Fantastic Shape!!!

Very great day! Our group was a little slow but the course Marshall was very good about encouraging our playing partners to speed it up. Played in 4 hours. Course is playing really well for this time of year. Greens were punched 7 days ago but will likely be perfect in 3 days.

A wonderful course with a great deal of challenge

This course can be as difficult or as less difficult as you want. FOr most standard golfers, they go for Blue tees and leave the back tees for the single handicappers or extremely long players. I suggest you swallow your pride, bury your ego, and keep your round fun yet still challenging by playing the shorter tees. There is plenty of challenge to be had from the white tees or shorter and you will find much less frustration.

Great value

Had a noon Tee time and had a single join myself and a buddy. Not busy at all. Paid $38 through golf now. Very hot and humid day. Plenty of water on the course and we seen the cart girl a few times. Course was in good shape. Layout is great. We played at 6500 yard blue tees. Tee boxes fairways and greens all in good shape. Bunkers were a little crusty from the morning light rain. . Off the fairways is desert and brush. Not very attractive. Can’t wait to play it again. One of the better course in Phoenix area.
