This course is poorly maintained

The greens on this course are horrible. It's hard to believe the greens fees are as high as they are. Slow pace of play. The staff is nice but beverage cart never came all round as promised.

The greens are in horrible shape. Sand colored green. I was told they are trying to treat a fungus.

Skip this course!!

We weren't told about the green issues until after part of our group paid and when the other half went to pay, the person then told us about the greens recovering from the late fall overseeding. She explained that the greens are going to be the same as the practice greens. the practice greens were ok. The first two holes the greens were very wet. The third green, had more dirty on the ground then grass and there was no roll in your putts. The ball bounced more then it rolled. there was no controlling the direction of the putts. It was this way for the remainder of the front nine. After the 5th hole we started to look for another course. We quit after nine and asked for a partially refund for the nine we didn't play. The pro shop, Tyler, offered us a small bucket of practice balls.

The pro shop did not handle or present the green issues in a very honest manner. They told it after part of our group paid for the round and then explained the issues with the greens and also downplayed it by saying the practice greens represent the green, which was not the case. Then to offer practice balls for the range for compensation for $100 round of golf is an insult.

Do not play this course at all.

What a dump

I used to play here often but played Monday afternoon and was highly disappointed with the condition of the course and the overall state of the building. For the price I paid I absolutely won’t be back again. Whoever management is now has run this place into the ground and it is sad to see.

Greens need to be redone!!

We flew in for a guys event and decided to play this course cause it looked great on the pictures.

The layout is pretty good, not too challenging but easy.

The faiways were in good shape, but the greens were horrible, greens resemble a $40 golf course and not top pic golf course.

Staff was really friendly, Would not play again. Sorry.

Worst course ever

I’m an avid golfer and a golf enthusiast, who loves to travel and play new courses. DO NOT let the “Best Golf Course in Scottsdale” slogan fool you. Let’s start with walking up to the course.. when asked, even the bag boy said, “eh, this course is rough” - no mention from the check in staff of any poor course conditions. We walk to the stupid range that looks about as terrible as the condos you can stay at. Range is tiny, on top of each other, mat only, pay for balls. Moving on. The course was like playing in the parking lot next to Baghdad. Dried dirt covered “greens” that were nothing green about it. Fairways as dry as a patch of hay in a horse stall. We left after 9 holes and told the staff about our displeasure. The staff “Tyler” basically told me, welp, nothing I can do. We fired our greens keeper. No money back. No refund. Nothing. He gave me his bosses card and I emailed him, with no response. Do not waste your time or money.

Don’t play this course.

This course was a HUGE disappointment!!! Claiming to be one of Arizonas greatest courses. Horrible conditions. Greens were completely destroying. Tee boxes destroyed. Fairways poor poor condition. Range area had like 15 tee boxes 4ft a part. Never again. We walked off after 9 but wanted to walk off after 3 holes. Went to staff and they basically laughed at any refund or composition. The 3 of us will make it known to stay away from this course. $150 fees was lack of a better word stupid. We’ll make it knows via social media. We came all the way from Detroit to this mess of a course. Staff inside could care less.

Greens are mostly dead, 40% sand.

Greens are mostly dead, 40% sand. Putting is 90% of golf...and the greens are mostly dead. Tee boxes and fairways are also over saturated with standing water everywhere though no rain. Three tees were basically mud...not worth the 150 proce tag and course should be temporarily removed from golfnow until conditions improve. Major waste of funds...

The course was in poor shape, especially the greens. The Snack Shack is a great idea but our morning hot dog was way undercooked and our lunch ham and cheese sandwich was the worst ever. Would not play there again unless it was half the price
