Good track. Challenging! Bring your beach slippers.

Long course, in good condition very challenging for a mid handicapper. John the starter was very nice. Staff received us very well. Got a reasonable rate (hot deal) on a 8am Monday morning tee time. All golf in Scottsdale super pricey.

Well…

So many people recommend this course - I don’t see why. You better off staying in the valley and spending your money elsewhere. Too overpriced, not that well maintained. No marshalls insight to keep the pace up

Friendliest staff

The staff was incredible! Everyone was super friendly, personable, and adds to the experience. From the starters, to the bag boys, to the club house crew everyone added to the friendly laid back, and professional atmosphere. The additional benefits of playing the mini dunes post round with the food truck were a nice touch. Will definitely be back to play it again.

AK-Chin Southern Dunes

Ak-Chin Southern Dunes is a wonderful Desert Course. Alot of beautiful holes and wonderful hole designs. High recommended this course and so do the locals. If in the area of Phoenix again will play again.

Great layout - terrible bunkers.

Nice layout. Better than most PHX area courses. Greens and fairways are decent but for a $200+ round I was really disappointed in the condition of the bunkers.

I’m a scratch and while I can appreciate that bunkers should be penal - they should not be without an opportunity to get up and down. These have really poor “sand” and very little of it.

They are basically hard pan with just enough sand to give the illusion of a bunker. Which may not be a big deal on some courses but this place has a LOT of bunkers.

We had 4 decent players and we didn’t have a single up and down out of the sand or have anyone get a bunker shot within 20 feet of the hole all day.

Best conditions/maintenance

These were the truest greens i got to experience while in Arizona. Putts roll true and approach shots grab like they should. Mint conditions all around. Very challenging and unforgiving if you miss the green. But fairways and greens were prestine while I was here. Would definitely play out here again and hopefully do better next time. Well worth it. Best conditions in Arizona and not the highest price.

Walked

Small greens, pretty remote

This is areally nice course with great people. The holes are interesting and the facilities are outstanding. The greens are small and/or have small landing areas.

They allow waling, have push carts available and its an easy walk Cost is the same to walk or ride, but i prefer to walk and generally play better when i do.

Really recommend this course, but be prepared for 2 things: 1) it is pretty far from the phoenix metro area - took me about 35 minutes from chandler. 2) there is only 1 road out to maricopa - if your going towards teh course in the morning you should be fine, but the traffic the other way will be bad - and if there is an accident, forget it - your screwed.

Only book foursomes, awful pairings otherwise

Amazing course. Beautiful setting. Amazing amenities. We got paired with 2 other people who had taken a a 3 day class at the course that week. They were extremely slow and kept trying to make groups play through us and the staff had to keep resetting our carts. Playing poorly is fine if you are fast but this wasn’t the case here. The staff kept telling us to speed up which was uncomfortable as we didn’t know these people. Round took 5 and a half hours.

Golf now Frustrated

I do not recall getting an email that there was a two hour frost delay. We got there and had to wait 2 1/2 hours. The attendance told me I should’ve received an email. But I did not.
