Great course
Beautiful, well laid out. Greens were perfect. Bunkers were inconsistent with depth of the sand at the bottom. Cart attendant was already off at 3pm, the hottest part of the day. Got beverages at the bar but in uninsulated cups so they were watered down and warm within an hour. But the course is awesome.
Great golf course
Great golf course. Course conditions were fantastic. Pace of play was well monitored. Arrived and got checked in. I think it’s interesting that you have to validate on parking. When I got done there was a storm so the gates were up and didn’t have to use the validated receipt. Teed off at 1:45pm. Saw the cart girl 2x on the front 9, and I guess we missed last call cause didn’t see her on the back 9. At least they have water jugs every other hole.
Golf in Valley heat
Well I’ve played the Faldo three times and the 9/1 conditions were avg but I understand the heat plays a huge factor in how a super takes care of the grass but it was Labor Day that means you’re going to have some extra play from locals and out of town guests with I would’ve expected it to be in a little better condition.
Course was in GREAT condition
Thoroughly enjoyed my round. Course was challenging on the back but because I was spraying the ball too much.
The starter was a little douchy and the cart gal couldn't rush us fast enough so she could go home before 2pm.
Love the round though. Had an audience on the front 9 as well.
Great conditions
Everything was perfect. If I were to give a critique it would be the greens were slow and longer. Might have not been cut low due to the heat in August. If the greens were cut it would have been perfect.
Wildfire never disappoints
Played Palmer corse yesterday , course is in very good condition and the greens have healed well from the earlier aeration ; however they rolled a little slow for me . This course is always a pleasure to play and never disappoints. I would recommend
Hot in AZ
this course has lot's of surprises, good challenge for low handicap golfer.
Awesome round
First time playing this course and it was a challenging course as I had only played 3 rounds this month after not playing in 25 years. Overall great experience!
Perfect Day
It was 110’ degrees- but the course was in good shape-pace of play was awesome- greens good- 40$ ‘ish - great staff - truly enjoyed it
