The course was wet

The course has too much water standing around that made it difficult to find a good spot to take relief. The cart paths are in very poor condition. Time for the course to get updated. This course is nothing like it was 10 years ago. Might not come back for awhile.

Fun Track

Pretty challenging course with more water than most others we played. Think they're in the middle of an improvement project and excited to come back and check it out once they're done. Hole 15 is tricky.

Goid bones but lousy condition

Very expensive for a course in bad shape

Bunkers bad with puddles in them

Cart paths terrible

Many grassless dirt areas to hit off of

We paid $320 for the two of us

Not a fair price

Also a 5 hour round which is terrible!

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 Carts are old and outdated, there were MANY spots of dead grass or bare dirt, and many of the tee boxes were soupy wet.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.
