San Tan Highlands
Played On 03/28/2024Don't go for the food!
Course was good ,new carts with GPS. Very pricey compared to 3 years ago. Restaurant is only open past 4 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays! Hard to understand restaurant hours if you have any reasonable level of customer service.
Quarry Pines Golf Club
Played On 03/11/2023Awesome challenging course
Back nine in the old quarry is amazing. Narrow fairways and lots of elevation change. Bring lots of old balls, you will need them. Miss the fairway and your ball is gone.
Only negative is two holes on the front nine parallel the interstate and is quite noisy.
The Golf Club at Dove Mountain - Saguaro/Tortolita
Played On 12/07/2020Great course, great condition
Very challenging course, each hole unique, if you miss the fairway, your ball is gone. Beautiful layout
Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course
Played On 02/18/2020Nice well maintained resort style course
Had a free golfnow round so value was excellent. Probably would not return at the going rate of mid $100's for a couple of reasons outlined below. Well maintained fairways, tees, and greens. Excellent sand in the numerous bunkers. No water on this "north" course.
On the negative side, greens were very flat and typical resort style. Also, all the holes basically were the same layout so none really stood out. The need to do some rodent control as the place is literally crawling with gophers.
San Tan Highlands
Played On 12/02/2019In great shape except for the traps
One of my favorite courses, particularly the front nine. Course is in good condition with one big caveat, the sand traps. They have not maintained them and they are basically devoid of sand.
San Tan Highlands
Played On 10/23/2019Best condition this time of year
Best course condition I have seen this time of year. Nice steady pace, 3 3/4 hour round.
Thanks for leaving us a review, we're glad you enjoyed your time at Johnson Ranch!
Superstition Springs Golf Club
Played On 04/30/2019Great course, interesting and diverse layout
Haven't played Superstition Springs for a couple of years, forgot how great and diverse the layout is. Whole course is in great shape. Disappointed to see they have lost the lake on number 9. Used to be the signature hole in my mind. Very courteous staff and great spring value at $ 31.
San Tan Highlands
Played On 04/27/2019Great 3 hour round
Only played J.R. periodically during the winter as 5 hour rounds seemed to be the norm. Now that the course is less busy have played several 3 hour rounds. Always have loved the layout particularly the front . Course is in best condition in awhile. Greens are in excellent condition, sandtraps are good and fairway grass is coming back nicely. A few of the teeboxes are still sparse but getting better every day. Best time of the year to play J.R.
Thanks for the 4-star rating, we appreciate you taking time to review us on Golf Advisor. We're glad to hear all our hard work isn't going unnoticed! Be sure to book another round at JR soon.
Lone Tree Golf Club
Played On 04/23/2019Reasonable for a $40 round
Practice area is good, great place of play, excellent greens. Bunkers were pretty good. The fairways and area around greens were scalped down to nothing. Lots of roll but I would prefer to be hitting off reasonable grass. All 3 water fountains claim to be RO filtered but water was terrible tasting.
Faldo at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge Resort
Played On 04/18/2019Beautiful course
Very nice course. Lots of big mean sand bunkers. Sand was fairly hard but consistent including green side bunkers. Would have preferred soft sand at greenside. Greens were freshly aerated but had not been sanded so were actually quite fast and fair. No water at all, just sand. Fairways were perfect. If there was a negative it would be that all the holes were similar and there weren't any memorable holes or what you would remember as a signature hole. Played it under the golf now + program so price was not a factor. I would not consider it to be a $170 course but worth playing at summer rates
Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold
Played On 04/16/2019All good except the greens and some of the sand traps
Have played Ocotillo several times. Fairways were in excellent shape as usual. Greens were in poor shape, appeared to have lots of dead areas. May just be the transfer to Bermuda but have never seen them in this condition. Sand traps on the blue 9 were very hard packed, better on the white course. Good pace of play.
Las Colinas Golf Club
Played On 04/15/2019Good condition, very good place of play
Good condition and quick pace of play. Course is fairly wide open and forgiving and scores well.
Hi, thank you for the three stars and your feedback. We are happy that you found our course in good shape and had an overall good experience. We'll see you again soon.
The Links Golf Club At Queen Creek
Played On 04/03/2019All good except the marshall and 5somes
Nice enough course but got stuck behind a group of 5. Lady course marshall should not be dealing with the public. Her only concern was that we were not pushing the 5 ahead of us. She said they were such wonderful golfers that they were not a problem. All this while one of them was so good he was playing from the red tees, thank goodness as at least 2 of them were hitting 125 yards at a time !
San Tan Highlands
Played On 03/29/2019Love the layout but typically slow
Had a 1:15 tee time and typically they were 20 min late. Typical 5 hour round followed! Never saw a Marshall even once!
Like the course but tired of typical late tee times and 5 hour rounds!
We're sorry to hear the pace of play wasn't quite up to expectations. We're working hard to ensure a pleasurable playing experience for all our guests, and we hope you'll give us another chance soon! Thanks for coming out to Johnson Ranch.
San Tan Highlands
Played On 03/23/2019Good conditon but terrible tee time management!
Due to too many experiences with 5 hour+ rounds at J.R. made sure this time we booked a 8:15 tee time. Even at that hour, they were running 30 minutes late to tee off! Person ahead of us had booked as a single but showed up with 4 so they "squeezed" in another tee time. Not sure how often they do this but 5 + hour rounds and running late is an every day occurrence.
That said , the course is a great layout and with the exception of some completely barren tee boxes on the front nine, it is in the best condition I have seen it in a long time.
Would like to recommend but only if you have at least 5-6 hours from your booked tee time, stay away!
We're sorry to see your experience was less than ideal. Maintaining pace of play is one of our top priorities, and we're working hard to ensure a pleasurable experience for all our guests. Thanks for coming out to Johnson Ranch, we hope you'll give us another chance soon!
San Tan Highlands
Played On 01/28/2019Love the layout but typically slow
Love the layout particularly the mtn 9. Tee boxes are not in great shape. Tee times were running 30 minutes late and a 5 hour round. Unacceptable!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us - we truly appreciate your comments regarding the tee boxes and pace of play so we may share them with the appropriate staff for improvements. We do apologize for any inconvenience with the pace of play, and we hope we have the chance to welcome you back to The Golf Club at Johnson Ranch for a better round soon.
San Tan Highlands
Played On 11/09/2018All good except for 5 hour round !
I like the course particularly the mtn 9. Only downside was a 5 hour round and we chose to not finish the last 2 holes due to the slowness of play. Marshall was on the course but not doing anything to help the situation.
We would like to apologize for the slow pace of play while you were here at Johnson Ranch.
Toka Sticks Golf Club
Played On 11/07/2018Needs work
Course layout can be dangerous. Looks like they jammed the 2nd 9 inside the old nine. Sand traps have had no maintenance whatsoever. Very hard and clumbs of wild grass everywhere. Fairways are fairly good shape but shaggy after the overseed. Same with the greens. Wth the exception of 2 or 3 greens on the back nine, the greens are flat and not inspiring.
Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold
Played On 10/18/2018As usual, a great course.
Great "after overseed" conditions. Will only get better with time but in great condition already.
Talking Stick Golf Club - O'odham Course
Played On 05/03/2018Course in word - boring
All the holes seemed to be the same, nothing unique. Old style boring flat table top greens. Lots of stratigically placed sand traps but poor sand conditions. Place is overrun with gophers. At this price, they are catering to the convention goers at the hotel. Way overpriced for locals. Lots of nicer courses at half the price.
Thanks so much for the review. We will take a look at the sand traps. Hope to see you back here soon!
