Amazing course and staff!
I played with my son and it was an absolute blast! The pro shop was helpful, cart people were great, beverage cart was fantastic with everything from hot dogs to gatorade or anything else you could want alcohol wise. Everyone was helpful and very welcoming!
Fun layout
Decent conditions for the time of year, pace of play was great
Everything was great
Play pace, course layout, fairway condition, staff's kindness.
Everything was perfect.
However the greens were not good.
Good despite heat
Course was in good condition despite the heat. Pace of play was excellent.
Always Great and fun to play
Great layout, great conditions and the staff treats you like a private club. Much better that than the very disappointing Ak-Chin Southern Dunes I played while I Phoenix. Save time and money, play Wildfire.
Great Spot
40$ + thru Golf Now / nice place - nice people/ pace of play 3:33 min/ course is good shape
Lots and lots of sand traps
Played the Faldo course and it was in great shape for this time of year with the exception of their traps. No sand and like hitting off of a sidewalk.
Wildfire
Beautiful course in great shape, except the bunkers were rock hard. Not sure if this is just summer in Arizona thing but small issue for an overall amazing experience. Greens and fairways were pristine and a fun course with lots of different tees for all levels. Staff was friendly and helpful!
Great Resort Course
From the bag drop off, to the practice facilities, to our starter (Jay), to the excellent condition of the course and layout of holes, to our post-round cocktails and lunch. This was a perfect place to play.
Highly recommend. The staff was way more friendly than at Troon North and the Boulders-South, where we also played.
Excellent Value and condition
Greens are in great conditions. Traps need some sand. Otherwise eleventh course and value.i got it as a deal for $75.
