Firstly the course...The condition has improved a great deal. Membership covers four courses...great value maybe for $4300 but I would love there to be an annual membership paid monthly just for Ahwahtukee. Say $1500 for the year including cart For tee times after 11am in summer and midday in winter. If they were to do this, I would also start a club with UK style weekend golf,events for competitive golfers. A monthly medal, a monthly stapleford and a club match play. Management, feel free to email me if you are at all interested in my ideas. Many working people I think would embrace this.

But this review is primarily about LPGA pro, Arlene Flynn. I recently started working with Arlene as a previous 12 handicapper who was returning to the game after a serious illness. Arlene has worked with my physical limitations and showed a deep level of understanding towards what I want to achieve. Like any great teacher she listens, and explains her thoughts in terms any player can understand. In my case, she understood I had a good grasp of swing mechanics and swing theory. Arlene communicates very clearly and uses video analysis as a tool with just the right balance of technical info as well as utilizing mental imagery as well as easily distilled instructions with the purpose of achieving the goals of the student.

It is very clear to me Arlene not only loves golf but genuinely loves teaching. Her desire to help every student from the beginner to the advanced player is clear to anyone who meets her. Doubtless she is in high demand in part because her prices are very reasonable nut most of all because she truly is one of the best teachers in AZ. Regardless of gender, age or golfing ability, I commend the services to you of LPGA Pro, Arlene Flynn to golfers everywhere. With quality practice and her quality instruction, Arlene will help you enjoy this wonderful game as you work towards your golfing goals.

The golf course itself is great and the staff friendly. Lots of different tee markers and the course is always in great condition. The greens are receptive but have subtle undulations. It is a position golf course. Although fairway are wide, it often pays to be on the correct side of the fairway.

The course meanders through a large housing development with some distance between greens and tees, so it is less suited to walkers. Also, the signposting to holes really does need to be made clearer as it is easy to get to the wrong hole!

That said, Roses Run remains one of my favorite courses in the area. The back nines contrast nicely and each of the par3's are memorable holes. I like it a lot and will return!
