The gated community appeared to have a sense "pride of ownership! The course however was in very rough shape. Most tee boxes were either bare and sandy or overgrown with weeds The fairways the same and the greens despite the efforts of the staff to convince me they were infected by a "disease" were simply showing signs of freezing during the cold winter we had. The entire course was lacking water! The pace was soooooo slow, I bailed at hole 13 as there were 3 groups waiting when I arrived. If they even have a greenskeeper he should be sent packing!

The setting of this Country Club gets high marks with many pretty lake and woods views along the way however course conditions, from totally sand covered tee boxes to bone dry fairways and slick greens made getting a "decent" lie or a good putting surface nearly impossible. The experience reminded me of some of the golf courses I played during the Market Downturn from 2008-2011, No Budget to keep the course in shape! The "saving graces" were my playing partners who were both new to the game and just enjoying their company. I will say also that Jessica at the restaurant bar and grill was attentive, engaging and really easy on the eyes! Great job Jess!.....

My neighbor is a good golfer however as a Doctor, her time is devoted to her patients so when she asked if I could play with her, I said for sure and began looking for 9 hole, late afternoon deals. I suggested Palmbrook as a good pay is a Men's club Member there ant I have played it a few times with him. We got a 345PM start time, had a brief warmup and headed to the tee, never once having to wait for a green to clear or a slow group in any fairway! We managed to play 12 holes before it got too cold to continue however, she loved the course, the weather was cool but sunny and it was exactly what she needed as a stress reliever. Thank you to all the staff members we interacted with. We will be back asap!

My Cousin is in town visiting from Canada and I wanted to show him a more familiar layout than the Desert Courses we have plenty of here in Maricopa County. Most players find the desert a little intimidating so I thought a more park like round would suit his eye. The course was in good shape, greens rolling fast and the pace of play was excellent for this time of year.

I'm sorry to have interrupted the staff conversation as I checked in . How rude of me to want to pay and get warmed up. My playing partner and I got "disciplined" after the round by not knowing where to park our carts. the attendant had to walk an extra 20 steps to move the carts despite the fact that we were willing to move the carts because it wa clearly a rules violation on our part! Come on guys, you are all in a people interface business and first impressions are lasting ones!

Overcast skies, nice cool morning for a change and no one in front of us or behind us. Great round, in under 3 and a half hours! The course was in decent shape but I have to say the greens were a little slow and needed a haircut! I get it though as I am sure they were just punched a couple of weeks ago.

I found it hard to believe that mid week it took 2 1/2 hours to complete nine holes of golf. We were stacked up at every hall with a no-win end in sight to the delay. Made me remember why I never play this golf course.

I have played one other of the four courses at Sun City Grande. Conditions were good, the weather was perfect.
The check-in staff were great...friendly, very helpful, attentive.
The Starter was a jerk and does not reflect the helpful attitude of the rest of the staff we interacted with.
Pace of play is an issue (I played there twice last week) and bailed both days at hole 15 due to the extreme slow play.
Not a single Marshall monitoring after 11am.

I absolutely love the scenery on the Links Course. I was lucky to pair up with a twosome who knew the course, played decently and above all, respected the pace of play ruling! Tough to find on a resort course in the winter months. The Course is in what I would call "spotty" condition certainly not what one would expect for prime season.

It is always a challenging round on the Ranch Course. You have to play to targets and you have to know your distances or you most certainly find the desert, bunkers or water. Beautiful setting and as a Luxury Golf Home Specialist I will continue to introduce my clients to Tonto Verde. John Trojan, Realty Executives, Scottsdale, AZ.
