Greens were a bit shaggy but it was a good day

The people I was to play with were late so the starter sent me out alone. He approved me playing two balls as there was a pretty slow group ahead of me, so I had a great day. The tee boxes and fairways were in good shape, pre-overseeding. The greens were slow and a bit shaggy but still playable. Great value and good prices in the lounge. The cart girl DID come by a few times...

Monsoon rains and wind!

We were lucky to miss the morning monsoon downpours and got in 9 holes before the weather turned terrible. High winds, lightning and incredibly heavy rain chased us off the course before we completed #10. We were on Cart Path Only rules so it was a bit less desirable and due to the morning rains, the greens were unpredictable. Would like to try it again but are running out of time before we head back to Canada.

Not like our last visit

We last played here just before covid hit and were very pleased with that visit, so we wanted to repeat that memory. The staff this time weren't overly friendly, the course was similar but more expensive, there's no longer the complimentary free beers and we felt less welcome, maybe because we used GolfNow to book??? The golf was good, greens and fairways were nice but it just seemed less fun this time.

The course is in great condition

We had a great day, we were impressed with the condition of the course. Only one hiccup, one hole was closed due to construction. That didn't deter us however. They just got brand new carts, very comfortable.. we'll be back before our vacation ends.

Expected to see much more burned out portions of fairways

the course was in pretty darn good shape, glad we made the trip up to Pemberton. Greens were good, not great but good, fairways had very few burn spots, saw a bear on the first fairway, staff was very friendly. Well worth playing, considering how much the local Whistler courses are.

Of the 5 games we played, this one had the best conditions

We love playing at the Marriott and weren't disappointed again. The course was in great summer condition and we weren't rushed at all. Would have played both courses if we had time.

Great service great value

Very friendly staff greeted us and set us on our way. We had a great day on the course. It was well manicured and green. The greens were a bit slow but we had some thunderstorms overnight and it was expected. Very good experience (again)... nice touch with the complimentary beer voucher and happy hour prices in the lounge

Change of plans

We were booked to play the Resort course but there was a tournament in front of us that would have made it a very long day. The staff allowed us to change to the Legends course so we got our game in on a very hot day. They also agreed to let us come back to play the Resort course later in the week at the locals rate to compensate us, and that was nice because we prefer that course. Don't forget to bring your bug spray!!

Easy layout but slow greens

The course was in pretty good condition considering it's late September. Played the West-North 9's but couldn't find the North 9 on my GPS watch.? Wasn't overly challenging but my wife liked it for ease of play. The greens seemed quite slow (shaggy?). but am comparing them to greens just played this week. It was an OK round

Good summer conditions

The course was quiet when we arrived (10am) and players had already set out. We weren't rushed but missed the starter so played without GPS. It was OK though. Tee to green was in good summer shape. The restaurant was closed as was the snack shop but wasn't an issue. I'd go back again at this time.

Noticeably different

Played this course a few years ago... has changed on the back 9. Conditionswere good , the greens and fairways were all in good shape except for #16. Obviously hasn't recovered.. worth a visit but trust their GPS as my watch hasn't been updated. A bit more of a challenge on the back 9 now.....

A great afternoon of golf

Our 2nd round this trip and were pleasantly surprised with the conditions. Tee to green the course was in good late summer condition. The staff was very helpful and friendly and we stopped for a beer and appies. The course is a friendly play, not too challenging so my wife was pleased too. Worth a visit.

Preparing for overseeding

We just got here and had prebooked because we like the course. Were a bit dismayed to see they have stopped watering the fairways to prepare for overseeding. Closing next week so don't book for about a month.

Good day of golf

Finally got to play the resort course again, most of the time we've gone to PS it was in the overseeding stages. Glad to have played it and got a good deal, considering. Another two weeks and the greens will speed up and will be as nice as I remember.

The Gold course was in Fine Shape for Summer

We were very pleased with the condition of the course and the speed of play. The greens were in good shape as were the fairways. It was a nice golf day followed by a visit to the clubhouse for lunch and a beer. The staff were VERY friendly, the GM was seen out on the course and in the clubhouse on several occasions and was very cordial and welcoming.. Definitely worth the drive out from Tempe.

Course was in great shape, albeit only 9 holes

We booked this via GolfNow before we came to Phoenix not knowing the current status of the overseeding... The only 9 holes open were the Gold Course, but we made do... The course was still in very good condition and i just played the Blues and Tips for a change. I quite enjoyed the round and my wife liked the fact that we weren't being pushed in any manner... We had a good morning round and got in before it got real hot...

A bit of a disappointment

We have played here several times and looked forward to a comfortable first game for our vacation. The greens were a bit frustrating due to their length and dry condition. There were some very slow golfers in front of us and it was pretty hot which didn't help. Don't like 5 hour rounds anywhere and especially when the temperature is over 100 degrees. We have a 2nd game booked this weekend so hope the situation is better.

Glad I took the opportunity to book a time

I didn’t bring my clubs on this, our first trip to San Antonio so when the opportunity to play came up I jumped at it. I got a Hot Deal and called about renting a set. The pro staff were great and 8 got a nice set of M2 clubs to use. The cart had GPS as well... a great opotion and was a great help for a first timer to this 27 hole track. The only thing that I would have liked would have been more lush greens. Once we played through a slower foursome we cruised right along. Worth the trip there. Outside staff were equally friendly.

Followed a Jr Tournament, expected delays

We didn't know there was a junior golfer's tourney underway so it was a bit slower than normal. They really worked on keeping pace nonetheless and by the turn we were in fine shape. The greens were good, pretty fast and considering it's April, it was a nice Saturday afternoon. We managed to get all 18 in before darkness took over... Not unhappy, totally understand the junior program and they were well organized...
