ABSOLUTELY STUNNING

Love a great par 3 course with gorgeous views and this is the place! Course was in pristine condition and I was able to get a round done within 3 hours before mid day. They even offered free coffee in the morning! Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting AZ!

Greens were air rated two days before

I should have been notified since I booked my teatime weeks in advance that the greens were air rated two days before our teatime. They had holes every half of an inch over the entire Green so they were very bumpy! I would not have played this course if I knew they had been aerated two days prior to our tee time!

Thank you for joining us. There are notices on Golf Now stating that we were aerifying greens. Unfortunately, they can be difficult to see, so our apologies. We pride ourselves on great course conditions, and aerification is important. The course conditions should be back to normal by June 10.

Favorite hidden gem in AZ

One of my favorite courses to play in Arizona. The staff are so friendly and helpful and make the experience that much better. Although it's a par 3 course, it's definitely challenging. The greens have lots of undulations, false fronts, and small target areas. Perfect mix of distances with tee shots ranging from 75 yards to just under 200 yards. Love coming here to work on irons, wedges and putting. Highly recommend this course if you haven't tried it out yet!

Picturesque and challenging

I loved this course. Good shots rewarded, Bad shots only marginally penalized. Greens sloped heavily in multiple directions. You will need your A game putting for sure. Beauty all around you. The starter was excellent at controlling pace of play. Pro shop guys were friendly. Superb experience - will make it a permanent addition to my annual Scottsdale escape.

Warmup round on 1st day of golf trip.

I booked this round not knowing it was a par 3 course. I was delightfully pleased with the experience. My only complaint was a shot of Tito’s was $15. I had 2 double Tito’s and club soda and with tips today I spent $66! For 2 drinks! Price gouging at its finest. I can buy a half gallon at Safeway for $29.99. Absolutely ridiculous. I got this round on a hot deal and with perks played for $22 so it wasn’t a huge deal but I wouldn’t pay $100 a round for this course. I will say the staff was amazing, the views were stunning and the course was in great shape. Bring a flask folks if you coming here.

Beautiful Golf Experience

Charm and beauty best describe this golf setting. The course was in pristine condition. The views are spectacular and wonderful for picture taking. All par 3s were short, but good for sharpening up the wedge game. Very enjoyable for all of us. An experience to remember.
