Robbery

Guys in the clubhouse always seem miserable, so nothing new there. Bag guys are always on their game. The course was sopping wet, but that’s not really a big deal. Gotta question playing the backside of the Pine course for our back 9. It was wet and the oversees grass was LONG, even in the fairways. The rough was 8” tall in spots. I understand that courses need revenue, but at some point we have to be transparent with the public. I’ve played here a lot, but won’t be going back. Ever.

Wet but fun, challenging, and beautiful course!

I was worried about playing this course today after bad recent reviews and lots of rain yesterday. However, the course was in good shape considering the weather and the starter had us play the back 9 of both courses since they were in the best shape. It was a fun and challenging course with beautiful views and helpful staff.

Enjoyed what I could

Had to play two different courses since they had the front 9 of Pine and back 9 of Palm closed. Good time though. Pace was awesome until they threw a group of 10 yr old kids ahead of us on the front 9 of Palm. We just passed them and skipped hole 1. Our cart also died but the staff was quick to bring a backup. The two 9s were in great shape and it's been a while since I played Palm. The snack bar amenities were closed and no cart person on the course. Bummer and the reason for the low review.

Not what I expected

It’s summer in az and we can expect some rough conditions. There is a lot of work going in at the course, so it should be better in the fall. My complaint is that the tee time was sold as the palm course but it was back 9 of palm and back 9 of pine. I should have been alerted before I booked. There is a lot of water in the sand traps. It’s sort of ok for the price but I probably wouldn’t have booked if i knew the front 9 was closed.

Course design

I liked the course design. Rather challenging holes with water on the side.

The back nine was under water, extremely wet - could not believe it was even open for play. Front nine was in great shape. Would play again one the back nine is cleaned up and dried out.

Mediocre

Course was in rough shape. Greens were slow and bumpy, bunkers were hard packed and had standing water in them, big mud patches in the middle of the fairways, and were told by the starter right before our round that we were playing the front 9 of the palm course, and the back 9 of the pine course. None of this was mentioned upon booking or by the pro shop. Staff seemed annoyed that we were there. We paid $200 for two of us. With it being 115 degrees and the rough shape of the course, definitely not worth $100 a pop. I’m sure the course is great during prime conditions, but absolutely not worth playing over summer.
