The Embassy Suites by Hilton Phoenix Scottsdale

The course was in decent shape. However, it was overbooked. Pace was play was 5 hours. My wife and I couldn't finish because we didn't plan on spending all day on the course. We got 12 holes in in 4.25 hours. Absolutely ridiculous.

Pace of play was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Tee time was at 2:36.. I personally didn’t get to tee off until at least 15-20 mins after because a whole old group of 5 looking at every shot like they are going throw a dart and just shank ALL over the place it was bad. 10-15 between each shot/tee box probably longer to be honest. Even better they put a 6 sum in front of them of just younger guys like myself but had no idea what there doing. Marshall comes up to my group of 3 hole #7 apologizes saying they put two really really bad groups in front keep in mind pace was a already almost 3 hours and if we want to skip a few holes ahead we can. I was already over it paying 73$ for this type of play. I was the only one playing 18 and told him I’ll just see if they can rain check me the other 9 he agreed and said they should no problem. I’m not one to go out my way to bash a business but it’s the fact the guy in the pro shop tried lying to my face saying they can’t rain check it because we’re on “PACE” of 4-4 1/2hrs lol I thought he was joking. People leaving right before me tee’d off at 11am its 5:15ish now but there on pace. It just felt like a pure rip off. Conditions are okay not horrible but not pure bumpy and super firm greens. So I’d be careful feels like there just stacking tee sheets overpriced letting people do whatever to keep income flowing. Worse experience I’ve had all year and I play a couple times a week scratch golfer. Unless you get a super hot deal or something cheap there’s so so many other courses that are PUUUURE and great pace. I should of at least been able to play 15-16 definitely finish with no hold up but instead I left on hole 7.

1. The driving range itees are a mess and not level, and the range balls old and and not included.

2. They don’t have ball washers on the course, they should provide towels. They don’t.

3. The tees are awful. They’re small and completely destroyed. If you are trying to stay within the two club distance of the markers, you will be standing in divots.

4. For hour and 40 minute round, enough said.

a good "value course (price point/difficulty scale)".......the back tees (Slope/yardage) are challenging enough for the avid golfer.

Because of a rainfall the night before, the power carts were not allowed on the course, so the pace of play was WAY too slow. We started on the back nine, at 12:57pm and it took over 2.5 hours to finish nine holes! We didn’t see any course assistant after the 2nd hole we played. When we started the front 9, the fairways were now dry and carts should have been permitted on the course! This would have sped up okay for sure. The course assistant tried to move the groups along on the front 9 (which was our second 9), but without success.

For the green fee paid at 12:57pm, there should have been no problem to finish in the daylight! We played the last two holes, with not much light to spare, at 5:35pm.

Management should take into consideration how to speed up play or give a discount if carts are not permitted on the course. It made for an unpleasant, painful round of golf!

The course is still coming out of overseed, so the fairways and rough are affected by all the watering. The greens are already in peak shape.

The course was a bit different. There are some interesting challenges and risk return decissions. Greens were slow but in better shape than the rest of the course.

Went for a 7:40am tee time to play the back 9 and have breakfast.

The pace of play was good due to it not being busy. The course was in good shape for being over seeded for winter three weeks ago, not too wet for being over seeded recently.

They even had the drink cart girl out early - which was nice.

19th hole is good with a full bar, and mid-size food menu.

Beautiful weather, great staff, course was great! First time back since 96

The course was in ok shape. It played a bit slow and we saw no efforts to speed it up.

It would be nice to have ball washers on the course.

Liked the layout. Distances were fair. Hazards add extra interesting challenges with nice risk return.
