Westin Kierland Resort & Spa

Perfectly enjoyable. Course was in near perfect shape.
The $205 greens fee was the only drawback. It wasnt worth that money.... but then, in my opinion, very few are

The staff could not have been more friendly. Wide fairways with very well protected greens - they do like their bunkers! The course is in excellent condition. Felt bad that there was no sand available for divot repair.. We'll play here again.

Nice wide fairways with excellent undulating greens, several greens protected with bunkers. Bunkers need a little better grade of sand, (a little rocky).

The course seems to be challenged in dealing with Canada Geese. They have taken over the 9th hole green on the Acacia course. The extent of goose droppings on the green is extensive. This was a situation that was not expected given the premium price that is paid to golf this course.

Course was in beautiful shape. Fairly easy course helps with the pace of play. No real challenge for advanced golfers but still an enjoyable round. Great course for beginners and intermediate. Tough to lose a ball all fairways slope in. Staff is fantastic, fairly typical resort golf

Keirland was the last of four courses played in six days in Scottsdale. The weather was the worst of the four, but the golf was the best. The course was in fantastic shape, the greens fast and rolled true. Played from the tips, and was just over 7000 yards, has plenty of tees for golfers of all calibers. Will definitely be back on my next visit.

The staff were friendly and professional. We were the last group off at 8 am as there was a company tourney in Pm (shotgun). Our wives are novice golfers and they enjoyed the experience from the lavender tees. Even though the course is next in line for over seeding it was in very good shape. Our rate was discounted about 70% of typical. Would not pay normal stated rate. That is why we use golfnow.com.

One of the best finishing holes I've played. Overall great course in great condition. I would recommend this as a selection if only playing a few courses.

Course condition was good but the greens were rough and putting was more difficult than it should have been.

Cart broke down on 16 at 6:15PM and pro shop was closed so no one would come bring another cart. Did not want to leave cart on course so we pushed cart up hills the last 3 holes.to clubhouse. Being a senior, I now have to miss playing golf due to a strained leg muscle. Incurred the expense of a doctor visit and medicine. Talked to pro shop the day after it happened and they said "yea, we close at 6:00PM". Tough luck I guess.

Not what you expect from a Resort, especially one that you have rented a Villa for two weeks!!!

I think this course was pretty average for Arizona. Some of the amenities boasted about such as: upgraded carts, misters on carts... were less than impressive or not even working well. The fairways were very wide and forgiving. I am glad I was able to play the course at the summer rate rather than the ones I've seen in the winter.

The course is in nice shape, considering it's August in AZ. The greens are coming back nicely (it looks like they were punched within the last few weeks). Pace of play was a little slower than I would expect but we were told there was a tournament two groups in front of us. We received the Starwood discounted rate of $59. That's a little high for this time of year, but my playing partner (visiting from NY) wanted to play Kierland.

It's a resort golf course so wide fairways and giant greens...It's a nice layout

The green was punched and covered with thick sand. The pace of play was absolutely horrible as they even allowed a sixsome group on the course, never saw the ranger once during the entire round. Very disappointed especially this is a Troon managed course.

My review title pretty much gives away how I felt about the round. The course is very nice, it is easy layout for folks who tend to spray shots (resort course), it has some challenging bunker postitions, and the course is well kept (especially the portion where the greens were not recently punched). Love the idea of air conditioned carts for the summer in AZ, the actual spray modulation needs a bit of work.

Overall I would play here again and just make sure the greens were not punched recently.

...green punched, fairways very inconsistent. call there first to get condition update.

I was very disappointed when I got on the first green and saw the sand and huge aerification holes. The front 9's greens (Ironwood) were so bad. When I booked the round on GolfNow, there was no warning about poor greens. The 2nd 9's greens were much better. The course was watered a ton and in spots on the fairways my drives would plug and get no role at all. Almost all of the fairways and rough were very green and manicured appropriately. The course is not very challenging off the tee (TONS and TONS of open/favorable fairways), but I could see how the greens would be very challenging when rolling smooth and fast.

Plenty of bunkers surrounding greens. Long, some narrow, fairways. A challenging course.

Golf course was in great shape but was slow. 4 and a half hours on a late Thur morning in July in AZ. So it got hot quick because of all of the weighting around. Not the courses fault but I don't like slow play. Thanks. I had the most costly hot dog chips and pop that I had any where. Even the baseball games here in AZ are cheaper. Thanks. The 19th hole was closed for the summer so I could not get a drink after my round.

The course was in very good condition. The fairways were in perfect shape for the middle of summer. The ball rolled true on the greens. A great course for the advanced and intermediate golfer.

Kierland is the most fun course I played in Scottsdale. It has a very nice resort amenities and relaxing atmosphere The course is in a great condition. It's not long but still challenging. I'll go back again. .
