Wait Until Fall Golf

Don't play this course in the summer. The Greens are barely playable. Tees are like the worst muni you 've played and the greens obviously have been let go in preparation for aeration. There was very little grass on the greens and in the areas where it was the worst is where they put the pins. It was interesting though, the two holes you could see from the hotel were in great shape including the greens. I did like the routing of the Acacia nine and the 18th hole was dramatic but thee are to many other courses in the valley that are so much better to make me return to likely pay 4X what thankfully I didn't pay.

Poor value for money

Like all AZ facilities Kierland raised their prices to historic levels to take advantage of post covid demand. This would not be so bad except for the lack of services that any good resort course provides. Disinterested pro shop staff, no services on the range, very slow play, poor conditions on the course. Anyone would expect more after paying $250. Will not recommend to anyone.

Very forgiving

Enjoyed my round. Many of the fairways slope to the center, so it is forgiving. The course was in great shape.

Thought it was to have no trash containers or ball washers on the course.

Has to be the unfriendliest Staff

I can not believe how unfriendly the staff are at this course. The fellow at the bag checking was so rude and was even rude to my wife who wasn't even going to play, I went to the Pro Shop after the round to make tee times and they were not much friendlier. Unbelievable... and to make matters worse we are owners of Westin Vacation Club and staying at the villas and I am a Platinum member of the Marriott program.

Fun course always play the same two 9’s

I’ve played here quite a few times. I’ve always played the same 2 9 hole courses. Mesquite and ironwood,…acacia is a mystery.

Pace great, great condition, much too pexoensive for this type of course- but that’s resort prices at peak season- expected.

I’ll be back in the summer.

Staff Could Have Been Friendlier

Very enjoyable

Very pleasant time with 3 members. Quick round at 3:30, but typical for first tee time with members. The bowl shaped fairways keep the ball mostly in play as we were rarely off line too much. Green were in good shape, but are tricky, and several of the pin placements were on the side of a slope.

Great time

Four of us played from all different handicap levels and really enjoyed the course. The views, the variety of holes to play, and the condition of the course were great.
