Course Overrated

I purchased this golf round at a significant discount. Based on the condition of the fairways, greens, and sand traps, I was lucky to get the discount. The course is way overrated to pay the usual fee of $150. I would spend my money elsewhere before playing this course again.

Pace of Play

Pace of play was good at first but then came to a halt. Public urination occurred in front of us while waiting to tee off. We left after playing nine

Blech

Massive disappointment. This course is never in even average shape, but it's at a low in my experience. Mud on every hole, burned out rough, some greens borderline unplayable. Sooo many better options nearby. Avoid.

Fun day with the girls

Fun track with great views. Super close to our hotel. This place was less expensive than some of the other courses we played last week in Scottsdale, but just as challenging. Staff was really friendly. Excited to try the other 18 when we return to Scottsdale in the future.

Overpriced

The course is just ok but the $169 green fee is WAY OVERPRICED for what you get in terms of what you get. Carts are old and outdated, there were MANY spots of dead grass or bare dirt, and many of the tee boxes were soupy wet. It would be worth a $70 fee, not $169.

Poor Conditions

Was disappointed by the shape of the course for the cost of the round. Both back 9’s were very wet but also had a number of burnt out spots on fairway and some tee boxes. Poor value in my opinion. We played four courses throughout the valley while on vacation and this was easily our least favourite due to the shape/condition of the course.

Not worth the money.

The course condition was absolutely awful. Greens were poor. The course was FULL of bare spots and soaking wet. I would so much rather play Papago or Talking Stick.

Or just drop $400 for Troon for that matter.

Terrible course for the money

Fairways were in terrible shape as grass was patchy in most areas. The course, for being in the desert with no current rainfall, was soaked in water on the majority of holes. The greens are all painted green to give the appearance of grass. This is probably one of the worst courses to golf on for the money. Even if they offered it for free, it still would be overpriced.

Such a complete rip off

I played here years ago and it was fine, this time first of all because of the WM tournament the price was outrageous and seriously I could have overlooked that if the course was in ok shape, it was terrible. It was heavily watered the night before mud everywhere, the greens were in bad shape and then to top it the starter was very rude. I was with my 16 year old son and we were to the tee box on time and he’s tone was like he was doing us a favor by him being there, it was disappointing and will never play there again. Coming back next year and will definitely play Silverado again, they were so friendly and gave my son a junior break on price.
