Reviews
Great
Second time playing this course….. loved it!
Rabbits, quail and roadrunners everywhere….. next visit to Phoenix I’ll be back for sure
Great experience
Overall a great experience from start to finish. Course conditions superb for that time of year.
Canadian golfer
Course was fantastic, greens were in great shape, rolled true, fairways in excellent condition! Loved the round great course will be playing this Palmer course again and can’t wait to try Faldo!
Bunkers!!!
I was told there was 108 bunkers on this course and I found most of them!!!!
Hit ‘‘em straight
Excellent
Course was fantastic. Greens rolled true and were in great shape. Breakfast burrito was super and one of the best Bloody Mary in town.
Afternoon of frustration!
Faldo course in good shape however one of the most frustrating courses I have ever played! Sand traps everywhere including in the middle of fairway on hole #2 and others. Tricked up greens. First and last time I will play this course. Play elsewhere!
Fun test of golf.
Fun course to play. Great pace of play--under 4 hours. Staff very friendly and professional. Will definitely play it again.
Great golf course!
Great layout, great service, and excellent condition! One of the my favorite golf course!!
Lives up to reputation
First time playing the Palmer course.... Cudos to the greens keepers. The course was in superb condition. Player services were very friendly and helpful. Should any of my old golfing pals come out for a visit this will be on the list of 'Must Play' facilities.
Beautiful course
Excellent course. Beautiful and can be quite challenging. Difficult to say if is good value for the money. Still charging full pop for a round in early May with 100+ temperatures. When asked if there was a discount offered, they only offered twilite rate for late afternoon tee time. Course was completely empty from 10:00 am onwards yet still no incentive offered. Other deals in the desert for sure.
Course in great condition
This wasn’t our first time playing the Faldo course, but was a very enjoyable experience. Some quite challenging holes on both 9s, plenty of bunkers, several long par 4s, but very playable. Highly recommend, and will definitely come again.
