Greens are coming along nicely

Always an enjoyable course to play. Friendly staff. We played in about 3-1/2 hours. The pro shop was letting people out early (before their tee times) so that the golfers could beat the worst of the day's heat. The greens have recovered nicely since being punched a few weeks ago. Fairways and collars were excellent. A few tee boxes are still recovering, but are very playable. This is always an enjoyable place for a round of golf.

Always an enjoyable place to play

I always enjoy playing this course. While it is not very long for a Par 70, it is still challenging. The greens were a little slow, but they rolled true. The fairways and tees were in excellent condition. The sand traps have improved significantly over the past few years. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. We had an 8:00 AM shotgun start and completed 18 holes in about 4 hours and 25 minutes. I play this course several times every year.

Disappointed in the course conditions

I have played these two courses numerous times since they were first built. I was very disappointed by the condition of the rough and the sand traps. There was little to no grass in many areas of the rough. If you missed the fairway by a foot, you were often hitting off from hard dirt. The sand traps were poor, with several containing very little dirt/sand. I had a discounted price for my tee time. I would not pay full price this time of year to play these courses again.

Sand traps continue to require attention

I play this course several times per year because it is close to my home. I love the layout. The greens are usually in good shape. Fairways are OK, but the rough is very inconsistent. The worse part of the course remains the sand traps. Very difficult to play from the dirt traps with little to no dirt in them. Too many traps don't even have rakes.

Love this little course

This course is not very long for a Par 70 course. Most times that I play here the course is in great condition. Challenging greens (fast and sloped). Pace of play has been very good this winter. A typical round is completed in about 4 hours and 15 minutes. The staff is always very friendly. It is always a pleasure to return to this course for another fun round of golf.

Great new course in the Phoenix area.

Today was my first time playing The Victory Course. It can be a difficult course to play for the first time. Fortunately, I was paired with someone who was familiar with the course and could give me advice on each hole. Great tees and fairways. The greens were a little on the slow side. This is a course where you have to keep the ball in the fairways. It was a fun course to play. We completed 18 holes in just under 4 hours.

Course was in good shape for the Summer months in Phoenix.

This course is usually in great shape. The course was a little wet when we played it, taking some distance away from your drives. This is a fun and challenging course. I try to play here a few times each Summer.

Course was in great shape for Summer in the Phoenix area

I was pleasantly surprised at what good shape the course was in. The tee boxes were level and in great shape. The fairways were among the best that I have played in Phoenix all Summer long. While the greens had been punched earlier this Summer, they have recovered nicely. The greens were fast and putted very true. While I have seen the greens putt faster in the Winter months, they were among the fastest that I have played this Summer. I completed 18 holes in less than 3 hours. It is always a pleasure to play this course.

Great design, but course needs some work

I have always enjoyed playing this course. The layout is fun and challenging. I was told as I checked in that they were punching the fairways (which should have been noted on Golf Now at the time I made the reservation). The fairways were also wet and you got very little roll. The greens were inconsistent. Most of the greens were very good (and fast), but a few were extremely bumpy. I don't like the sand traps at this course, but fortunately I was able to avoid them on this day. I hope the fairways recover well from being punched. There were too many bare spots in the fairways. I played as a single in about 3 hours (only having to play through one group in front of me).

A course that I play several times per year

This is one of the courses in the Valley that I go to several times per year. It is a fun course to play, the staff is always extremely friendly, and it is usually a great value (reasonable green fees). The greens continue to improve after being punched several weeks ago. They are still on the slow side, but they roll fairly true. They have punched the fairways as well. There are spots with little grass right now, but I am sure that the fairways will recover nicely. The fairways at this course are usually my favorite part of the course. I followed a 5-some for 11 holes (before playing through them), but I have to say they were the quickest group that I have seen (they understood how to play ready golf). I completed 18 holes in less than 3 hours and 30 minutes. I am sure that I will continue to return to this course on a regular basis.

Challenging course

I have played this course numerous times, since it first opened as a Pete Dye course called Anasazi (then later redesigned and called Mummy Mountain, and now redesigned again and called Stone Creek). While I am partial to the original Pete Dye design, this is still a very good course that will challenge players of all skill levels. The greens had been punched and sanded recently. While they putted fairly true, there was a lot of sand on the greens. These were some of the softest greens that I have played this summer in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I had to repair ball marks on almost every approach shot to the greens. The sand traps could use more sand, but overall, the conditions for Phoenix in the summer time were very good. It took us about 4 hours and 40 minutes to complete 18 holes. I always enjoy playing this course. A good value for the money.

Always a good experience

I always enjoy returning to this golf course. On this particular day, the greens had recently been punched and sanded. I would give the greens another week to recover. Despite the maintenance, the greens still putted fairly true. I only recall seeing one putt bounce off line. Fairways and tees were in their usual great condition. We completed 18 holes in less than four hours. Always a great value for the money.

Great fairways

Some of the best fairways that I have played in the Valley this summer. It is nice to hit a fairway and find good grass underneath your golf ball. I have played three different resorts recently where the fairways were unplayable. I played on Father's Day, which meant that the course was busy. 18 holes took us longer than normal for this course. We finished 18 holes in approximately 4 hours and 50 minutes. Greens rolled true. It was a fun day and an enjoyable 18 holes of golf. No beverage cart, so ensure that you have water with you. Well worth the money.

Greens and fairways were a little rough

I have played this course numerous times over the past 4 decades. Many of the fairways were extremely rough (bare dirt or very little grass). It is frustrating to hit a fairway and get a terrible lie. It was obvious that they were putting a lot of water on the course, but the fairways still need some help. The greens weren't much better. They were extremely bumpy. Most of the year this course is in great condition. The summer heat appears to be taking its toll on the course.

great layout, some fairways need attention

I always enjoy playing this course. It is a great design and is very challenging. The greens were very good (fast and true). I found too many bare dirt lies in the middle of several fairways. They appear to be having trouble growing grass on several fairways despite heavy watering. I hope that they get the problems with the fairways corrected soon. They had new golf carts which was very nice. We played 18 holes in less than four hours.

Fun and challenging course

It was a pleasure to play from well maintained bunkers (sand traps). Overall, the course was in pretty good condition. There were 2 or 3 fairways that were not in good shape, but we were warned of the problem before we paid. The greens were excellent (fast and true). A very challenging course well worth the money this time of year.

Challenging course that needs some TLC

The green side bunkers (sand traps) are terrible. They have very little, if any, sand in them. What little sand they have is usually wet and packed down (hard as a rock). You can't play a conventional bunker shot from them. The course is a great layout, but it needs some work. Besides the awful bunkers, the tee boxes need to be leveled. Also, there were too many dirt patches throughout many of the fairways. This Palmer designed layout needs a lot of TLC to return it to the course that it used to be.

Always a fun course to play

I have played this course several times. It is usually in very good condition. The greens are a little slower than many other courses in the Valley, but they roll nicely. Over the past few years they have greatly improved the sand traps at the course. I always know that I can expect the course to be in good condition and that I should be able to play 18 holes in less than 4-1/2 hours. Fun course and a great value for the money.

Our group finished 18 holes in 4 hours and 5 minutes (excellent pace)

Always an enjoyable course. Fairways were in great shape. Greens were a little too slow, but they rolled true. Rough was spotty, but what you expect at most area courses as we hit 100 degree temperatures. No beverage cart on Monday, so ensure that you have plenty of cold water with you. Staff is always friendly and professional.

Challenging greens. Fast with plenty of slope.

I always enjoy this course. The greens and fairways were in good shape. My only complaint with the course condition is the sand traps. The traps are terrible. Sand is inconsistent. Some traps have a little sand in them and other are rock hard. My group finished 18 holes in 4 hours and 15 minutes (and that included letting a group play through on number 13). It is a fun course to play and I have recommended it to many of my friends.
