Springfield is a great course if you want to play a quick round with fairly easy to hit Par 3 and Par 4 holes. At 61 total Par for the round the course is not challenging at all and helps if you want to play someplace reasonably priced at a quick pace, or if you are looking to improve your shots and utilize more of the clubs in your bag.

Club West is a great course that utilizes the natural foothills of South Mountain to create a wonderfully challenging course with a amazing views. The course is well maintained, the staff exceptionally friendly, and the overall atmosphere makes playing a round here a real joy. The only negative is the rate of play. With the weather as it is now, the number of snow-bird visitors to Arizona this time of year, and the large population of those non-native visitors being of the slower variety, the rate of play can frustrate even the most patient golfers. Twilight tee times in most cases are unplayable as it would be impossible this time of year to get through all 18 holes while waiting an average of 10 minutes at each hole for the party ahead of you and the party ahead of the party ahead of you to finish the hole.

I will be waiting to play here again after the snow-birds have left and the warmer temperatures leave only those of us committed golfers out on the fairways.
