Good but not great

Course was in Good shape for the summertime Greens were very slow though. They had tons of grass and could have easily cut them down a little bit to make it more playable.
Course is a fantastic layout.
Restaurant is awful. Service is terrible so we went elsewhere afterwards
Kind of expensive for the summer conditions.
They raised the price Sept 1 for some crazy reason. Its still hot by the way in Sept here

Not worth a Dime!!

AVOID this place at al costs this summer!!

This course is in terrible shape and its all over. We played the South/West. The fairways have large spots where there is no grass just dirt. The greens are the same. They must have not taken care of it at all thru the winter. Every other place in Phoenix has been in great shape with all of the rain we got in the fall and early winter.The greens may have been a 9 on the severe downhill on one hole. They were extremely bumpy everywhere and they were NOT recently punched. The bunkers are even worse. Large rocks and way too much sand in some and no sand in others. I have played here over 50 times over the years and this is by far the worst i have ever seen it. I will NOT be back! EVER!!

We are disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy your round of golf. We are transitioning from our Winter Rye Grass to Summer Bermuda and will continue to do so over the next couple of months. We hope you will revisit us in the future so we can provide an improved experience.

This place was AWFUL!! I won't be back!! EVER!!

I have finally had enough of bad conditions at this facility. The course was completely soaked. And Rain had nothing to do with it. There are much better conditions around the valley and much cheaper to boot.

Standing water all over the course. With a smell that's like a sewer. Soaking wet fairways. Standing water in almost every single bunker Greens were slow and wet. Tee boxes were not cut for days. I used an extra tall tee and still had issues trying to get it high enough off of the grass to hit it. This place isn't worth 15 bucks let alone 99.

Very Disappointed

I have played this course over 50 times in my life and these were the worst conditions I have ever seen out there. The Tee boxes were so shaggy i thought i was in a Scooby Doo espisode. Then the fairways weren't much better. I backed my drives up many times and we had a guy who hit line drives he wouldn't get more than 3 feet of roll with his. The greens were the worst part. Looks like they were 1-2 weeks out of punching but no warning on the booking. Very very bouncy. Not smooth whatsoever. And the pace of the greens were very slow. Maybe a 7/8. There is not need for these bad conditions. There are plenty of courses in town who have way better conditions for the money. Legacy Golf resort is 25 bucks right now and has WAY better conditions.
Don't waste your money here. Read up on all of the reviews and go elsewhere. Maybe after overseed they MIGHT be better

I love this place

One of the best layouts in town. Greens were nice and smooth and rolled great. They didn't look great because someone doesn't know how to mow the grass properly but they rolled nice. For the end of the summer in Phoenix they were great.
Tees were fluffy. Need to be mowed down, Same with fairways. Ball was backing up on the drives. Bunkers were great except for one i was in on 14. Lots of large rocks in a green side bunker.

What a disappointment

I was so looking forward to this course. For $ 55.00 bucks plus taxes and fees you would think it would have been in good shape. NOPE. I can get better course conditions for $ 25.00 bucks at the Legacy Golf Resort.

The layout is nice but some of the design elements do not make any sense to me. A lot of the greens are shaved on 3 sides and then the 4th side is steeply shaved slope that goes into the dirt or rocks. This is going to really slow play down when they get busy.

The greens were very bumpy and the fairways were below par. Lots of areas of spotty grass.

I will NOT be back for a year or two. They are not going to have the course conditions fixed until then.

It's also Legacy.. a trash course in the eyes of tournament golfers wonder why it's priced cheaper?

Hot and slow

Very warm but the course is in decent shape. The greens are slow but that is to be expected somewhat here in the summer.
Pace of play was a little slow. No ranger anywhere on the course to keep things moving

So close but no cigar

Like everywhere else this summer no one wants to cut the greens to a reasonable speed. These greens are huge and having the speed at 6/7 is not acceptable.
Combine that with very shaggy tee boxes and pins positions that do not match any of the locations on the scorecard and you have a disappointing round.

I would wait a while

This is a great layout with great greens and decent bunkers. However the course overall is not in good shape. They water way too much. There was standing water all over the course. The fairways are about 50% rye grass and 20% dormant burmuda and 30% no grass/dirt/mud.
No real rough to speak of as the dormant burmuda is what they use for rough. I and a plus handicap and if you don't like tight muddy lies I would wait to it heats up here in Phx and the burmuda comes back in. I would say mid June i should be good.
This place was unbelievably great last summer/Fall before over sedding. Thats when all of the burmida grass was in. This is a summer/fall course not a winter/spring course here. Much better options right now as conditions at most places are perfect here in Phx at the monent

Great Layout but Awful Conditons

This is one of the best layouts in Phoenix. Unfortunately it has been is awful shape for over 10+ years and today was NO different.
First off the started yelled at us for putting our own clubs on a cart and told us to remove them. We were only 3 tee times for ours to start. We told him to pound sand.
The course has just been over-seeded. It was extremely wet. Lots of bare spots all over the place. The greens were very slow but that is expected coming out of over-seed. What is NOT expected is the greens missing 50% of the coverage of seed. some greens had large holes all over them. The 7th Green had over 50 large holes in the green. Like footprint size and over and inch deep!! Some of the tee boxes were very bare and others had no flat spots to hit from. The were crowned really bad.
It is really sad to me because this layout is one of the best in the valley. Mr Palmer is rolling over in his grave for what has happened to this course.

Skip this place and Play the 500 club over the hill to the northeast for the same price and way BETTER conditions.

I will NOT ever be coming back.

Best shape I have ever seen it!!

I love this layout from back when it was Maryvale golf course. When they did the changes which were great the bunkers had way too much sand in them. That is not the case anymore. They were great and I was in a few of them today.
This course is now in great shape from the tees to the greens. Very lush for end of Sept in Phoenix. Fairways were in great shape, rough can be a bit challenging if you get a bad lie. Greens were great and somewhat fast (prob 9/10) and I saw them rolling them a few holes in front of us while we were playing. Yet they were still very soft. Even the two high handicappers who were with us got the ball to sit on the greens.

This place is awesome right now and I would suggest trying to get out here before the over seeding takes place

Pricey for the conditions

Love the layout but there were some issues

1. Course is absolutely soaked. Drivers backing up in the fairways. I play all over in the summer and this place needs to water less in the morning. Muddy in lots of spots.
2. Greens were awful for 59 bucks. Very slow and bumpy and sandy. No notice when making tee time that they had just punched the greens.
3. We only saw the cart girl once and that was on the 10th green. Not acceptable at all. Its 110+!! We should have seen here at least 3 times in 18 holes
4. Grass growing in the sand traps. Hard to believe this is where they play the Monday Qualifier for the Phoenix open
5. Went into the bar afterwards for a drink and the service was awful. We wouldn't see the bartender for 15 at a time. Out drinks and other tables would be out and then she would try to rush and get us new drinks and spill them bringing them out.. Got servred a beer in a cracked glass because she was not paying attention and then she had an attitude replacing my drink. I didn't even touch the glass

I will not be back for a while. Maybe end of summer if it is cheaper like under 30 bucks

Great Course

One of the Best layouts in AZ. Took 5 hours to play and they need some more sand in the bunkers but other than that a great course. Greens were smooth and nice and Fairly fast. Fairways and Tees are great too. Range is a little beat up

Great Shape

Greens were slightly bumpy from the punching but were almost perfect. Greens rolled about a 10. Can get them much faster with the undulating greens.
I would rank it about 8.5 for condition

Course is lush right now but the greens are slow. Lots of grass on the greens they just need to cut them down. Looks like they punched them a few weeks ago so hopefully they will cut them soon
