Bear Creek

Start time delayed due to frost due to the delay, wasawarded a free bucket of balls for the range. First class. Course in good but not great shape. Greens were extremely firm and fast. As soon as warmer weather comes, course should get better.

Great Day

Course in great shape, starter friendly and informational. Fairways and greens in good condition, even though the greens were slow. Always play Ocotillo at least once while visiting Arizona.

Slow Play Ruins the Day

Las Sendas is a beautiful course that is well maintained. However, course management regarding pace of play is lacking. Anytime you have 3 to 4 foursome on a single hole means that someone (probably more than 1 group) are not playing to meet the prescribed 4 hour 15 minutes. Hitting the ball and waiting is not my definition of "golfing:. Until this issue is corrected, I will not be coming back to Las Sendas.

Slow Play

I have played this course several times but never at the slow pace experienced this time It was difficult getting into a rhythm when having to wait to hit your next shot - every time. Marshall was aware of the slow play but was not able to speed play. Coupled with less than perfect fairways and green, made this round not very enjoyable

Way Overpriced

This was the worst conditioned golf course that I have played this year. Fairways were poor and the greens rock hard from lack of water. We were told that the course had not been watered in a month. Continuing to charge a premium price for a course this poor is a travesty and Golf Now should remove it from it list of Hot Deal courses. By rights, everyone who plays this course should get their money back.

Cancelled tee time

I booked this round on golf now and the round was somehow cancelled requiring me to call the course and rebook the round. This required me to prove that I had paid online or pay the full rate - off to a bad start.
The course was in good shape but not great. The greens were hard and fast requiring a lay up and roll on. In addition, the snack shop was closed. Hopefully, the next time I play Dobson the course will be in better shape

Great Day at Las Colinas

Early T-time allowed us to beat crowd - with the help of a very cordial starter. Fairways in great condition as well as the greens. Play was brisk. As well as the 42 degree temperature. Everything about our round was very enjoyable. Best course we've played this year! Thanks.

Good time

Course was in fair condition and greens firm and slow. Fairways were in good shape and easy to hit from. Course played slower than expected due to the foursome in front of us which struggled from tee to green due to one of the individuals handicap. Other than the course being wet and slippery in places, we had a good times playing the course made better by the two gentlemen that joined us for the round.

Booking at Encanto

I have been trying to book a tee time at Encanto for a week and keep getting an error message. finally called the course to book and found rates had gone up compared to what I was usually paying on Golf Now. Is this a gimmick Encanto is using in order to generate more revenue ? If so, this may be the last time I play Encanto - even though I have enjoyed playing the course. Please let me know if Encanto is going back to on-line booking soon.

Course in good but not great condition. Our two-some paired with a third who was a nice gentleman. Greens are needing attention and are difficult to putt. Course layout interesting as a desert course. Course personnel friendly and professional. I will definitely play this course again - next year.

Good Time at Ocotillo

Course in excellent condition, layout somewhat challenging, and greens "tough" but puttible. Had a lot fun playing with our paired twosome from Canada. Starter and cart employees nice and professional. The only issue I have is the price of the "refreshments" .

Thank you for taking time out of your day for this review. I am so glad you enjoyed your day with us. We are always looking to revamp and get better ideas for our club, just out of curiosity, what "refreshments" are you referring?

First Time at Southern Ridge

Course was better than anticipated for the amount paid. Fairways in good shape but green a little bumpy. Sand traps in great shape. Course interesting given the 6 (par 5), 6 (par4), and 6 (par3) layout. Even though the course takes a while to get there, if you are looking for a course to "get your swing back" before you tackle the longer courses, Southern Ridge offers you that opportunity at a very reasonable price.

First Time at Ken McDonalds

First impression was having to walk from the parking lot over the canal to the club house. Layout of the course was OK but should consider making holes 17 & 18 - numbers 8 & 9. This way the front 9 is on one side of the canal and the back nine on the other side of the canal. Greens are OK but could use some additional care. Had fun only because of the group I was playing with. A good course that could be a lot better

Fairways nice if you hit them. Greens slower than most in area - left many putts short. Paired with two nice gentlemen which made the coarse fun. The cart paths ae in bad condition and should be replaced.

First Time San Marcos

Was surprised by the first hole - did not realize the canal ran completely across the course. After that, the course was in good condition. Greens hard so learned to run them up from fairway but rolled nice.
Beer a little expensive - would suggest a six-back price (less than individual per). Would play the course again

Brothers @ Innsbrook

Course was in good shape considering the threatening weather. Played at a steady pace despite having to stop 10 - 15 minutes due to a rain storm. The course is not that long but you have to drive the ball straigh and to strategic points in order to score. The foursome enjoyed the course as well as the camaraderie. We will be back.

First Time @Las Sendas

Beautiful course for a dessert layout. Wide variety of holes from short par 3's to challenging par 5's. Difficult pin positions on many of the greens made putting "interesting". Was very hot buy strategically placed water and snack shacks really helped out. Would recommend this course to anyone who likes a challenge.

First Crack at Cave Vreek

Course was in good condition in the fairways. If you get off the fairways, you are in trouble. Course layout leaves a lot to be desired, having to cross several fairways to get to the next tee box as well as back-up on several par threes (need ranger). I played this course due to the lower price and would probably play again if the price stayed the same or lower.

Bear Creek 2

Course was beautiful - but at times difficult. Narrow fairways make it challenging unless you are a straight hitter. Playing out in the "desert" will add multiple shots to your score. Greens big and rolled nice. Beautiful weather and good friends made it a very enjoyable day. Course rangers and hostesses were very friendly and knowledgeable. Good times were hhad by all. Thanks.
