Nice resort track

Booked a “hot deal” on golf now. Got there early and hit some balls at practice range. Range was in good shape, surprised they didn’t have yardage signs. Starter said I could get out early and was able to do so, about 20 minutes before my tee slot. Course is a resort course, so not very difficult. Lots of couples playing. Pace of play was a little slow. Tee boxes and fairways were is good condition. Greens were true and a little slow. Course is on property and for the right price it’s a no brainer to play.

Enjoyed the round!

Got here a little early, went to Pro Shop and great guy said I could go out early or have lunch...I said how about both!
After great service for lunch, went to first tee...before I tee’d off another single showed up and we played together. Finished round in about 3 and half hours!
Course is wide open and water only comes into a couple holes...I found two of them! :-)
I got a great rate and I don’t think it’s the toughest course...but I enjoyed it!

Straight from the car to the tee box!

Course moved me up a few spots as I was a scheduled with a 3some an theynended up bringing a 4th. Sometimes not practicing is a good thing! Played pretty well, course isn't that difficult. I played the Black tee's and played a lot better on the back 9...but the back 9 is 250 yards shorter. Course paired me up with 2 nice and good players. We waited on a few holes. I'd play the course again.

As good as the Blue Monster..

Great track, challenging throughout. I went out as a single on a day without much play, so the pace of play was awesome...can't say it is always like that. Bobby the starter set me up and gave me some good advice. It's a par 71 (36/35) and I had more trouble on the back then the front thanks to hole 10 and 18...both aren't that difficult...but they can be challenging! I played from the Blues 6002 yards (69.9 / 133)...had 8 pars..so I guess I could have played from the Gold which is only 322 yards more then the Blues...the course played true and was a lot of fun. I played the Silver Fox on another day and had to go back and play the 18th on the Golden Palm on my way back in to the clubhouse. I got a good deal on Golf Now and the price was worth it, doubt I would pay full rack rate very often....but it is a fun course.

Nice track

Enjoyed my day on the West course. Starter was very nice and set me up with a 2some. They knew the course which was helpful. I broke my driver on hole 10 and played better without it, not sure if that tells you more about the course or about my game..I got an OK deal on Golf Now, not sure I would pay that much to play the course, but it is a good track and well maintained. Nice practice area.

While we are young!

I've played this course a couple of times before and enjoy the layout. I''m from the east coast and have enjoyed my previous rounds here. The course is in good condition and a pleasure to play. My issue this time is they sent me out as a single, saying the course is wide open. I hit some range balls and practiced putting and grabbed a sandwich Before my round (the service was very good), when I got to the first tee there was a foursome teeing off...no problem, I could use some more practice putting...I waited about 20 munites before I hit my first drive and soon enough I was waiting on every next hole. I didn't see any ranger and the group didn't let me play through. No worries, I can work on my game and hit a few extra shots...but by the 9th hole, I couldn't take it anymore and jumped ahead of the group. I didn't see another group until the 17 the hole. Obviously the group should have let me play through, but that is what a ranger is for.
I would play this course again if the price is right, but they should really have a ranger out on the course.

Looking forward to next visit!

Went out as a single and quickly got paired up with a member. The tee boxes, fairways and sand traps were in excellent conditions. The greens had just been irrated and it showed. The clubhouse told me as much and gave me 2 coupons for a future visit. My member partner had to leave after 6 holes and I was able to jump ahead of a few groups and finished in just over 3 hours. I played from the white tees and most likely will play from the blues on my next visit. I shot an 86, but could have easlly shot an 83 if the greens were in true form. I saw the Marshall a few times and he was a true gentleman. Course had some beautiful views and was a treat to play.

3 hour round...

Good news, I finished my round in 3 hours. Went out as a single, got up to a foursome on the 12th hole, they let me play through and finished in 3 hours.
Now the bad news...as many have written, the greens are awful. Maybe 2 greens are in playing condition..remaining are really beat up. Tee boxes could also use some help. Fairways, rough and sand traps were in good condition.
My golf cart ran like a 1972 Oldsmobile...people at pro shop, starter and 19th hole all were very professional.
If I could be guaranteed another 3 hour round, I might play the course again...otherwise I'm going to wait till they fix the greens.

2 rounds in 3 days

I was touring wine country with my wife and was able to get to play this course twice. The course could be excellent with a little TLC, but was still very good. Great sights on a few different holes. Course would play differently depending on which tees you play from. If I was to play the course again, I would play "members" tees, I played whites on both days and shot very well. Keep the ball in the fairway and good scores should follow. They changed the course a couple of years ago, so you start on the old 11th hole (make note of this if you have a GPS watch)
I played as a single and the first day caught up to another single and then we got paired with another single at the 9th hole. Second day I played as a single and finished in a little over 3 hours...would have been a lot less, but caught up to a couple groups on the 13th hole.
On the first day, I didn't see any cart service, on the 2nd day, I saw the cart 3 times. On my first visit the half way shack was closed on the turn..surprisingly as it was only about 3:30. When I finished my first round, the kitchen was closed in the clubhouse.
I would play again.

Early morning round

I booked a 7:30 am tee time, but got there early as was able to go out as a single. Finished the round in under 3 hours...closer to 2 hours...so if nobody is on the course, speed of play is not an issue. I like the way the course is layed out. I'm not a big hitter, so I was able to use my driver (playing from the green tees) on majority of the holes. The course was a little wet, so it wasn't always easy finding a ball that went off the fairway into the rough. Greens were true and a little fast. Some bunkers were in great shape, some were not. I would play the course again if I was in the area.

Better places to play

I haven't played MapleGate in 15+ years and it might be that long till I play it again. The course layout isn't bad, conditions are not the best, but the price paid on Golfnow made the round somewhat enjoyable. I'm a 14 handicap and didn't need my driver on majority of the holes. Fair amount of sand traps on the course, some in much better shape then others. We played as a 2some and caught up to the group in front of us on the 3rd hole, they let us pass by on the 8th hole...if they didn't...it would have been a long day!

Nothing special

Was hoping for a better course, Golf Now had a nice discount, without the discount course isn't worth the money IMO. Course is tight at times, so you don't need your driver on a lot of holes. Greens are easy. Everyone at the course was very nice and helpful. It wouldn't be on my top 5 courses to play again in Scottsdale.

Nice track

Played the afternoon of the club championship, so we basically had the course to ourselves. Course was in good shape, fairways rolled well and greens were fast. You don't need a driver on a lot of holes. Got a great price on golfnow and would play again if I was in the area.

Great price

I haven't played Heather Hill in 20 years and it hasn't changed much. Course wasn't in the best condition but the price for the round made it enjoyable.
You don't need your driver on a lot of the holes. Greens were pretty easy to read and very slow. Was tough to find balls hit off fairway and with a lot of blind shots it was tough to locate good shots.
Clubhouse service was excellent and friendly as was the grill.
Hit em straight!

P,aged 36!

My biggest issue with this course is the slow play, I saw a Marshall twice in 12 holes and didn't see one again for the next 24 holes. Carts do not have GPS and it was difficult to get yardage readings in the fairways. Fareways and Greens were in good condition, tee boxes were pretty beat up. Course is short, but still a challenge from the tips. If you get a good golf now rate it might be worth it, but regular published rate isn't worth it IMO

A treat

South Shore always seems to get better. The rain has made the rough, very tough..so hitting the fairways becomes necessary. The greens have become more difficult due to the work of the club, so getting close to the pin is important to score low. Pace of play has also improved. Overall a very good public course!
