Fabulous Course: Bogey For Service
The Course Is In Fantastic Shape, Pristine For February. Greens where True and Slick.... 11-12 on The Stemp. Great layout and Fun To Play. Avoid the Bunkers and Very Generous Fairways. Service Was Bogey- Double Bogey. They Forgot That I Was Waiting On The Range. Sent me off 40 Minutes Late and played the last 2 Holes In The Dark. VERY UNHAPPY About That. It’s A Very Pricey Green Fee, UNACCEPTABLE FOR THE PRICE....!!!!
Great course and facilities!
Played the Palmer course and it was in great condition. Fun layout and the pace of play was perfect - never waited once for the group ahead of us and weren’t pushed by the group behind us.
Course in great shape!
Course was in great condition. Played in 4.5 hours so kind of slow. Greens were in excellent shape but price/value was pretty low, over $300!
We enjoyed playing this course
A perfect afternoon on a very nice course. We finished at sunset with lots of doves and rabbits on the greens.
Molasses in winter
The front 9 took so long there was no hope of finishing in under 6 hours and the sun was going to set in 5. Slowest play I’ve ever seen even in Arizona in the winter. Skip this one like I had to do on the back 9
Fun course - played in 3 hrs 37 min. Lots of sand traps but greens were nice and staff was too.
Perhaps a bit pricey.
This is a nice course but I would say it’s a bit pricey compared to other Phoenix-area golf courses of similar quality.
Sorry
I was impressed with their starter...he seemed on top of his job.
However, during our back 9 a ranger asked us to step aside for a 5-some behind us. We were keeping up with the group in front of us....even waiting on some tee boxes.
Then when our round was complete, no one asked to assist me and my 90-year old husband with our clubs. I ended up doing it myself. They completely ignored me.
Great course
Really enjoyed the layout. Have to place the ball around the course with all the bunkers. Greens are very quick.
