After several years I played the course again because I always liked it. But my experience this time wasn’t as good as last time. The course conditions got worse compared to last time. The layout is still great but the fairways and the greens were in a bad shape. So sad.

I always play the course when I’m in the area. The course layout surrounded by beautiful real estate and a gorgeous neighborhood is the value. Play there!

I played the course for the first time. Lot of water hazards but the layout was ok. Pace of play was very slow. The staff at the pro shop was extremely unfriendly. They don’t need to care about customers.

Although we played exactly the required pace, the marshal pushed us forward what was very frustrating. After a while he came back and apologized for his misscalculation. We were perfectly on time.

After we played the course several times over the last years, we were looking forward for another round at Occotillo during our vacation in Scottsdale. Unfortunately it was a big disapointment because major refurbishments was goining on and nothing was mentioned, neither on the course webpage nor on Golfnow.com. Only that the driving range is currently closed was mentioned. If we would have known all that, we would not have played the course. Not a good end for our vacation. Stay away from the course until the redesigning is done!
