Just OK

Pace of place was terrible. Greens were spongy but not wet. Slow and inconsistent. Person making sure we had water and ice was very pleasant.

Prospecting for pars

Beautiful day for a scenic round of golf. Would be very difficult course to walk so GPS equipped carts are appreciated. Only issue was very slow pace of play especially on back nine. We finally quit after 16 because there would have been 4 groups in the next hole, way too many for a par 4.

One improvement needed

I absolutely love playing The Rope Rider course at Suncadia.
I think that it's both challenging and fair. And it's fun.
But for $160, I would expect the bunkers to be of higher quality and better conditions. They were atrocious.

Love This Course

This course is great in so many ways: challenging but not too penalizing, in great condition, variety of holes, requires strategic thinking, beautiful scenery,

The only complaint is the traps don't get smoothed often enough with all the deer that travel through them. Hoof prints make for bad lies.
