Beautiful Links
Great course! Really maintained well even in the middle of the summer! It's expensive but gorgeous
No Water!
The title is actually a bit of a misnomer. There was water on the course, but it is water fountains every three holes, and the water is hot! When I made the turn after hole nine, I swung by the starter/cart return and no one was there to get ice or bottled water. And the snack shack was not open. Other than that, it was a great time. I love this course!
Overpriced. Lousy conditions. Poor service.
Condition: Tee boxes & fairways were inconsistent. Some were wet & mushy, some were sandy & grainy, and some had crabgrass all over. The rough & fairway around the greens were aweful; dried compacted dirt with more crabgrass. The greens were actually pretty nice though; receptive and fast.
Layout: Unimpressive. It felt like a slightly improved municiple course. Definitely not worth what we paid. There are many courses nearby with better layouts in much better condition that charge less.
Service: Bag boys, proshop attendee & beverage cart were all friendly & helpful. Starter & ranger were unprofessional & rude. Everyone in my group arrived about 20-30 min before our tee time. Starter came up to our cart as we were getting ready to head to the first tee & said we were “on the tee box & running late”. This was 9 minutes before our tee time as we were about to pull away anyways. As we drove by him on our way up, he said “we need you guys to hurry up & play fast today” as if it had been a problem before. *We’ve never played here before and, when we got to the first tee, we had to wait for the group in front us. On the course, the ranger hounded us every time he drove by. We finished right behind the group infront of us & played in 3:50, which for a Saturday on a public course, is pretty good & well under their expected pace of play.
If you want to be overcharged, harassed by staff & play a dog track with nice greens, this is the course for you.
Friendly staff, friendly layout and challenging but excellent greens.
Greens were rolling nice. Layout is easy to play. Not very challenging but a great and fun course to play for sure. Course is in really good shape for Az heat.
Great deal in summer
It was hot but the pace and condition was well worth the price!
Great course and wonderful service
Fantastical layout and course. Challenging and in great condition. Young lady working the the snack bar was super friendly and kind
