No help keeping pace

Round took 5 hours, which is bad enough but it was 115 degrees out. Two problem groups were obvious but there was no help from staff. You would think with that kind of heat, they would have wanted to get golfers through on time

Great experience

Course is in very reasonable shape for june-july. Greens a lil bumpy but you can absolutely make putts. Service is top notch. Waters available every few holes and cold towels to start are a nice touch. Staff is super friendly and attentive. 5 tees to suit your game well and great scenery. Couldn't ask for much more. Would definitely recommend and it's absolutely worth the drive.

Beautiful desert golf

Fantastic course! Beautiful layout and awesome fairways. The pace of play was pretty good, 3.5 hours for 18 holes is pretty solid in my book. The greens were firm and fast, some bumps from aeration but my putting needs work regardless. Just wish the cart didn't throw a temper tantrum anytime I tried to drive through the desert looking for my ball. The value is fantastic. You'd be an idiot not to book a round.

Course in Transition

In general, SDGC was in good shape given the summer temperatures. Some tee boxes could use TLC; fairways were firm and somewhat sparse with grass; greens were quite firm and fast; sand traps were inconsistent with level of sand (some needed attention). Pace of play was good until the back 9, when we experienced an additional 40 minutes compared to front. NO mosquitoes were seen throughout the day. Value was good, even with the 1:15 hr. commute.

Beautiful layout, friendly staff

Teed off at 1:10pm. First time playing Southern Dunes. Exceeded my expectations. This course is a gem and quite possibly one of the best courses in Arizona. I’ve played both We-Ko-Pa courses and Dinosaur Mountain and Sidewinder and a bunch of top courses in Phoenix. This course will challenge you. Read about the mosquito problem but I didn’t encounter any. Greens are rolling really well.

Skip the bug repellant!

This course is amazing from top to bottom but when we took the free bug repellent we got bit up like you wouldn't believe. So enjoy the course and it's beyond me why they don't have their course sprayed. Other than the bugs and mosquitoes it was awesome.

Watch out for the lawnmower!

Awesome place!! Beautiful course, mostly friendly people! Mosquito's were amped up in the morning, but disappeared with the breeze. Amenities were very good, people were friendly and helpful. Well, most people.. Watch out for Alejandro on the fairway mower. He ran over my ball, denied it, with witnesses. And accused me of hitting him with my ball. Even though the ball was sporting a brand new big smile on it. Really Alejandro, you could've just said, I am so sorry. We both could have moved on!
