Great Golf Memories

The golf course was awesome and reminded me of Arizona golf courses of the 70s and 80s. The course all the risk for reward challenges that make the game enjoyable and satisfying. We’ll be back soon.

Good job Marriot Dessert Ridge till next time.

Adios

A lot of fun but $$$$

Played the Palmer course, which was a lot of fun. Course was in good shape and pace of play was great. The only downside was the cost of rental clubs. Most places charge $50-60, which is a fair price. This course robbed me of $125 for clubs.

Play here inthe Phoenix Desert

The Faldo course is a great experience and a real gem in the desert. The course was in immaculate shape. Challenging but playable for an intermediate player. I enjoyed it very much. A little pricey for the morning tee time but I will be back for sure
