The Embassy Suites by Hilton Phoenix Scottsdale

Terrible course to play. Paid $15 for range balls and was never told by the gentleman in the pro shop that there was no use of drivers on the driving range that day. Course was in rush shape with homeless people tenant up on the 10th Fairway, on the left side.

For another $30 I could’ve played a nice course like Dove Valley. All hot deals on GolfNow are not really deals.

You don't need distance on this course. You need accuracy and precision. Can you make the fairways to set up a clean level approach? Are you good out of the sand? You will get lots of practice. Can you hit a fade or cut off the tee box? Par 3s can be long if you can't hot it 180 yards. The course is soft now but that will change once it heats up and drys out this Summer. You get plenty of roll here. Fear the creek that runs on the right side of a lot of holes. If you slice it, you will lose balls, so bring extra if you can't fix that on course.

Pace on front nine was good. When we reached 12, there was a group on the green of the par 3, and 1 group ahead of us waiting for them to clear. Before the group ahead of us got off the tee, another group came up behind us. Also, while waiting, 3 young kids on electric bikes showed up to use the hills around us as a race track, jumping the hills and racing down the cart path. No one attempted to stop them. As we moved to 13 and 14, they expanded their race track down the cart path to the end of 14. Very dangerous for golfers, the kids racing, and the many people who were out walking on the paths.

The fairways are tight and if you miss you will have a horrible lie. The grass is only manicured on fairways and greens. The rest of the course is a gamble the creek run alongside many holes and will swallow your ball with all the bush and tall grass surrounding it. The bunkers aren't too deep but they can be long and wide in most holes. The water comes in on 4 different holes. It you have a right-hand slice you will lose all your balls so bring plenty if you don't aim extra left all day. The ground is hard everywhere. Tee boxes to the greens. Lots of roll out, nothing sticks to greens unless you're playing short irons in w high spin ball. Good luck. Enjoy.

Greedy, do not recommend unless you want to be forced to skip shots by the marshal. The marshal stated we were 3 minutes off pace when teeing off on 4 and he recognized it's the group or two in front of us, so it was a friendly FYI and not a warning in our opinion. We waited a minute or two per hole on the front 9. As we would get to the tee, the group in front would be finishing up their second shot. Then from the fairway, we'd wait for the foursome ahead to finish on the green. Group behind us waited similar on some holes, but not every hole. Not unreasonable. Then out of no where on 10 the marshal forced us to drop from the 150 yard marker and did NOT allow us to tee off, stating the group ahead was "2 holes clear" of us now. We did not even stop at the turn. By 11 we had caught back up to the group in front of us and the group behind us didn't catch us until 16. Clearly the marshal lied because two holes clear would mean the foursome ahead was already on 12 before we even teed off on 10. And the group behind us was not waiting regularly, and we didn't see them again until the green on 15. Marshal doesn't know what's going on, they just referenced a time sheet and power trips which really upset our group and the other groups we talked to after.

For the cost, the fairways are in good condition but greens and rough could use some work. Personally, I will not pay to play here again and will NOT recommend to others given our experience.

Back nine including a wonderful breakfast all players loved it

Good layout, challenging course but for price paid conditions of the course are sub par as well as the pace of play. Cave creek 1/2 the cost better greens.

This is one of the worst golf courses I've played in years. There was trash all over the place, the fairways were pitted, and the rough was dirt with small patches of grass. The staff was very friendly, the marshalls very attentive, and the cart service very good, but again, the course conditions outside of the holes near the clubhouse were atrocious. I will never play this course again until a new grounds crew is hired and completely top dresses, revitalizes, reseeds, and replants nearly every hole on the course.

For the money not the best experience. Course allows the pace of play to be very slow allowing 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete the round. We were constantly waiting. No real views on the course, felt more like a lower level Florida public course.

There was good moisture the week before everything was green and the day we played weather was sunny and no wind Beautiful!

Nice Course layout and pace of play was great!
