Over priced and unimpressive
Paid 200 glucks for an abysmal layout - greens are dried out and there is not a single memorable hole.
So many other courses in the area, stay away from this dog track.

Great track!
BEAUTIFUL CLUB! Very well maintained courses! Staff were great! There was a mix up with my shuttle transportation from the JW Marriott Camelback Inn to the golf club and the general manager of the resort and the gentleman working in the golf clubs pro shop made sure I was well compensated for my inconvenience. True class act!!

Overseeded and slow pace
This course was cart path only and slow pace. Greens were fairly slow too. Obviously courses need to do this maintenance, but a reduced price or heads up would’ve been nice.

Eh
Let’s start with the starter. Apropos of nothing he began our conversation with an anti-trans joke. Is that really necessary? Maybe keep religion and politics out of his mouth. Otherwise things were okay. Nice course. Nice restaurant which we hit after the downpour which ended our round. But Bob the starter put me off this course We won’t be back.
