Good course

Lots of traps, sneaky long too. Good shape and the greens rolled true. Fun time was had. Probably about $40 over what I’d expect to pay at a similar course. Overall it’s nice

Wonderful layout and hole variety

This is the most enjoyable course I’ve played in the Phoenix area. The variety of hole layouts and lengths made this a challenge but a pleasure to play.
