First off and most important to most people is pace of play. I have heard bad things about this course, but my experience was good in regards to starting on time and pace. My girlfriend and I were paired with another couple and we teed off exactly at our 11:22 tee time on a busy Sunday afternoon. Usually when I pay close to 50 dollars I expect the course to be in pretty good shape. The green complexes were great but the fairway and off of the fairway was a cow pasture. Very fortunate to get a good lie even if you are in the fairway. The staff was friendly and the food service was good. Points to the halfway house for having hot dogs ready to go that were good tasting and a big dog for 3.50. The course layout was good except for two of the holes that the red tees were in a very different place than the white and blue. Cart paths and parking lot were in disrepair, prepare to be jostled around a bit. The range was good except for the side hill slots at the extreme left of range which we had to use because the range was full when we arrived. Overall it was very average and you can find better shape courses for the same price in Phoenix. That being said it was prime time in peak season. I just expect a bit better conditions for 50 bucks using our Phoenix golf resident card.. I can't imagine paying over 60 bucks for this course condition. But if you did not live here that is what you would have paid. I probably will not go back and would not recommend this course to friends.

This is my go to course when I invite people to play. I know that the course is going to be in great shape and the price is always very reasonable. Staff is always very helpful and the Spartan Academy pros are awesome. Practice areas and driving range are top notch. The only thing that this course needs is a place to sit down after the round and have some food and a beer.
