Terrible course conditions

I understand it’s the middle of the summer, but I had called the Proshop ahead and they said the greens don’t get any better. If that’s the case, then you never wanna play here. Inconsistent speeds, super bumpy. They had the volcano effect because the cups were cut incorrectly. The tee markers were not even set on the flattest areas of the tee box. Lastly, the golf carts were smothered in armor all, my grips were slipping all day long because of this. The course conditions cost me an easy 4 to 5 strokes.

Nice course

Played on a very hot day, temps at about 114 degrees. Had the course to myself until running into a 4-some at around #15. Played great and almost aced # 11, ball 6" behind hole. Course in great shape and quite challenging from blue tees.

Course was always in good shape even in July and August.. hadn’t played it in over a year won’t be back. Conditions of the fairways are horrible. Spending $ 85 bucks when it’s not worth it ..

New top 5!

What a fun course! First time here was told by the starter that the first 6 holes are the scoring holes and he wasn't wrong! The rest of the course gets very challenging around the peaceful desert with some of the coolest elevated views and tees I've seen! New top 5 local course for me, will be back often especially now that I have a better idea if how to attack the last 5 holes 🏜

Disappointed in the conditions of the course.

Amazing course layout. You'll enjoy it.

However, I was disappointed in the conditions and the Mickey Mouse pin placements.

I would expected these course conditions on Labor Day, but not a day after Memorial Day. That's disappointing.

The pin placements were silly for a Tuesday.

Mountain course with good challenge. It,s a must to play it when I go to Arizona but have to wait for golf pass hot deal to can afford to play it. Regular price is always over $200 US which is near $300 CDN.

Resort and Desert Golf in 1

Played my first round in the desert ever today. And chose this course bc it was at our resort. $200 is a bit steep for me to play golf. But it was a once in a lifetime trip. And I wanted to experience golf in the desert. The course is in good shape. There are some burnt out spots already. And I’m sure it will get baked in the summer. But the fairways and greens are both very firm and fast. Huge bounces and roll outs off the fairway. That could help or hurt depending. The first 6 and last 3 holes are pretty standard resort golf. Wide fairways. Generous greens. Holes 7-15 are spectacular as the play up and down the mountain. Have several forced carries. And the desert is always in play. Very fun to play and I would love to do it again sometime.
