Summer round

Nice par 3 course that’s we’ll kept all year round, expected a few rough spots with the hot weather but overall in really good shape, greens weren’t too fast and prob slight wet as we tee off at 7am.

Finished up around 10 and it was hot and sweaty by then. Prices a lot lower in summer and great to get out early mornings on this course

Attention

This course has 18 par 3 holes. This is not clear on the homepage. Tee-Boxes in miserable condition, the greens as well. On some holes a lob wedge is too long. Far too expensive for "mini golf".

It's understood that not everyone enjoys Par 3 golf. Greens were aerified in mid June and have recovered nicely. No, greens are not at winter putting speeds, but plenty of grass on the course. Thank you for your feedback.

Punched greens on a par 3!

First I did not realize this was a par 3 course, my bad, did not read the stats closely, just needed a round quickly in the Scottsdale area. I debated playing it once I arrived because 85 bucks is a lot for me. My playing partner was really wanting to get a break and play, so I decided to go ahead. BUT once on the course to have the greens bumpy as the moon's surface was so disappointing. We had a good time and shared a drink at the 19 hole but the golf was awful, par 3's are about the putting but at this time for this money - forget about it.

Thank you for your feedback and apologize we didn't meet your expectations. We aerified greens June 14th. There is plenty of grass on the greens, have recovered and rolling nicely. We're pleased with our transition from winter to summer grass.

summer condition

Course is usually great but $50 to play this place in the summer is a rip off, course is in bad condition right now. Play in the winter.

Great Iron play

We decide to make our first round of golf short. Since we just flew in. This is a great course to play in around 2 hours and get your irons working.

Totally would stop here again.

Also the restaurant had great service and good food.

See the Canek in the background.

Great Par 3 Nice to get your Irons working

We played at 1150 am on a Sunday. Was very quiet so pace of play was great. Just a little over 2 hours which including sone extra re-putts.

Great course to start getting your iron play ready.

Both Proshop staff, starters and wait staff all very friendly and efficient.

Sunny Days

My wife and I really like to play this course. It does have tricky greens to keep you thinking how to play the shot or putt. I would definitely recommend it!

Just Plain Fun

We played this course to give our backs a rest on day 2 of a 4 day golf trip. Course was in great shape, staff was friendly and pace was excellent. Would definitely go back.

Par three

Course was in great shape, excellent for the short game tune-up. Enjoyed playing the course, staff not that inviting. We were not notified when the carts and clubs were ready at the first tee block. Cart return attendant very helpful as it was our first time to Arizona.
