Piipaash!!
Great course all around. Grass was perfect, the layout is just challenging enough due to sand traps; greens were a little fast. Had a great time, range balls were free and finished in 4h.
Played it many times but…
This time we received a golf cart that had leftover salsa in it, a used plastic toothpick & the navigation battery died around hole 12. Katie the cart girl was great trying to restart the navigation for us but confirmed the battery was dead.
Good value, excellent amenities, friendly staff!
I have played several times at both courses (North and South) over the years and always enjoy the experience. The TeeOff/GolfNow rate of $80 worked well and even with teeing off at 12:51 we got our 18 holes in before it got too late to play. There used to be a lot of good deals at this course, but since Covid, you have to really search for a good price.
Excellent Grounds Crew, course is in perfect condition. No wonder there are so many people who loose at Casinos, They have to have a Expensive Grounds crews to maintain this level of Excellence!
Pinehurst in the desert?
I’d been curious to see Coore & Crenshaw’s courses at this 36-hole facility for years, and my visit to O’odham managed to blow my high expectations away. The combination of the low-profile, convex and strategic design with ideal conditions – hot, dry, firm, fast – made for one of the best golf experiences I have had all year. The fact that I paid less than $60 for it was icing on the cake.
Flat but good
Played the north course. Right under 4 hours. Outr foursome never felt rushed. Good condition. Either in the fairway, a little short grass or then you’re in the desert. Overall was in good shape. Greens were a little sandy but I liked them. Use to playing at 6,500 feet. Took multiple holes to adjust. It was thanksgiving day so nothing open except the beer cart.
Great greens
Course is in good condition , no real issues with layout but it’s pretty straightforward and not any real memorable holes. The greens are great and very hard to read with interesting slopes and pin positions which made it very fun to play.
Fun
Course was fun. Had some memorable holes and it is in good shape.
Beautiful Desert Course
First course I played in the Phoenix area. Very memorable for its desert feel and great quality.
