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.

A must play course

The view is spectacular. A challenging course to practice your short game. Putting is not easy but fun.

Outstanding

Challenging hole placement's . I would have to say it is the most premier par three courses in the country.

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.

Summer Round

Played here yesterday morning. Course was wide open and we finished in 2-1/2 hours. Immaculate condition. Only complaint were the big trucks removing the oleanders on the front nine.

A nice break

Anytime you can leave your driver home, it’s like a vacation.

Good practice with irons and challenging greens.

No drivers needed, but you need to be precise with your irons. Thank you for the nice review.
