Fun Day

Had great time and we booked with Golf now and got reduced rate. Course is challenging for par 3 course. They have a nice patio for drinks after the round.

Some pin positions punitive

Some pin positions required high, soft and near perfect shots to get within 20 feet of the hole — particularly #16

Great short course

Located in central Phoenix this short course, all par 3s offers a fun challenge to test the accuracy of your approach shots and short game.

Greens and course were in good condition, the always friendly staff makes the day enjoyable and the outdoor bar and restaurant make for a great 19th hole experience.

nothing flat

hitting greens on drives is the least of your worries. Doing three putts is outstanding - doing four is frustration but these greens are the ultimate challenge. The most beautiful scenery with Camelback Mountain right there.

Fun track

Fun executive course. Some funky holes which I didn’t love (like the bunker in the middle of a shared green) and you need a PhD to get between a few holes but good value and fun.

Expensive Par 3 course

Expensive par 3 course with great views of camelback and scenery. Greens are diabolical especially on the back. Probably the greenest course I have played and I’ve played a lot of them, but for the value I would stay away. You could almost okay the phonecian, troon north, legen trail, dove valley, lookout mountain or biltmore estates, camelback padre, talking stick and even tpc chanpions for the SAME PRICE IF NOT CHEAPER if you find hot deals. I paid $90 for myself and 6 year old son. They were nice enough to give us a cart for free with bunch of waters. No range and the putting green was under construction so look to start cold turkey

Thank you for joining us and the positive comments on the course conditions. Playing on Friday and Saturday mornings are the highest demand and our dynamic pricing reflects that. Monday thru Thursday and after mid-morning offer better pricing options.

Bumpy greens

The greens need attention, the greens were patchy and bumpy.

Thank you for playing the Short Course. Most courses in Phoenix aerify greens in early June including us. It takes a couple of weeks to fully recover. They have filled in nicely and ready for the rest of the summer. We hope to see you again soon.
