Average PV course

Built in a a wash the layout on a long out and back .. no "turn" at the clubhouse for hole 9. The wash/water/hazard is always to your right. So if you are right-hander battling a slice or lefty hooking it.. this fact could make for a long day and several lost balls. Lots of subtle undulation in the fairways makes for fun shot making to avoid some pretty penal green side bunkers. Greens were in great shape. Effectively no trees or shade of any sort so as summer looms it's understandably fast and in areas the turf was pretty crispy.

Great course

I thought the course was great. My only complaint would be that some of the holes are much too long. At least four or five or 375 or longer from the Whiteys move those tees up for a better experience for your modest and senior golfers. Still had a great time.

Just outstanding- if I was to make a suggestion is that the three traps I was in during my round all three needed either more sand or deep raking as they are compacted and need some attention as this caused skull shots due to the bounce.

Besides that I still don’t understand why this course ranking isn’t in the top 5 public courses in the state!

Okay - Greens are rock solid

Like the ambiente - not too challenging as long as u hit straight - but Greens are green and no dry spot - Balls don’t stop… better be short. U will not find any pitchmarks -because Greens are rock solid

Staff is very friendly and supportive

How this course isn’t rated in all of Arizona in the top 5 public courses just baffles me as a long time resident!

Just fabulous!
