The fairways were in great shape. The cart paths were spotty at best. The greens were poor.

The course itself needs work. There are no cart paths to speak of except around the greens and tee boxes. There are a lot of bare patches in the fairways and there is no rough as it is mostly hard rocky dirt. Th course should be shut down for a month or more to actually fill in the pathways, overseed and sod the fairways, and clean up the bunkers. It is an ok course, but should and could be so much better as it has a lot to offer.

The course is well kept for a course that is played by many. The pace was a little slow as we, a twosome followed 3 foursomes and were not offered to play through. The pathways were a little rugged and the bunkers unkept.

The course is a bit ragged and the greens are just ok.
This like most public courses has a lot of potential, but needs some money invested in it. It is a great course for beginner golfers.

The course is a great way to practice your short game. There is also the odd long hole.
The course was overly crowded and the pro shop was over run.. We has to wait at each hole.
The course was reasonably groomed, but the greens wer bare with patches of crab grass. If the county spent a bit of money, it could be a lot better.

The course overall is in reasonable shape. The fairways are decent and the greens are fast. the location of the holes adds to the challenge. Keeping in mind that this is a city course, the layout with the canyon like drop offs and the placement of the water holes make it fun.

Where this course falls short is in its overall Upkeep. The lower price makes it enticing to fixed income crowd, however the need to repair and pave the cart paths would save on the pounding the carts take. the pro shop and eatery could use an upgrade as well.. This course could surely be a gem with a little investment.

The course is deteriorating since I played it 3 weeks ago. The grass is drying out and it is being overwatered in some areas. the greens are still fast and groomed. The sand traps are like playing on concrete. There is very little sand in them and they are so hard that your club vibrates when you attempt to get under the ball.

This course is average for a city course. I could, however be so much better. It is challenging with some unique twists. The City needs to spend some money to upgrade. The fairways are good but have some bare spots. The bunkers could use some sand. The greens are fast and challenging. The cart paths are the worst. they are mostly unpaved and in rough shape.

It is an ok course to play overall. The pro shop has little to offer and I did not use the canteen.

This course is in Fantastic shape. The greens are fast, but well kept. The fairways are well manicured and very playable. No real rough to speak of, but lots of off fairway Chaparral. This is a very playable course.

The Course is in great shape and fun to play. The greens were fast and tricky. The fairways are well kept and very playable. There is water on several holes which adds to the challenge. There are also a couple of other obstacles which make it interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the company I was teamed with. i did not use the other facilities so thus the average grade.

The course overall was in good shape. There were a few places overwatered, including the bunkers. The fairways were neat and trimmed, the greens were fast, and the pin placements added to the difficulty.

The coarse is in good shape, but had patches of too much watering. The greens were fast and tough to negotiate. There was some minor delays at a few holes, but not unbearable. It was quite windy and mostly in your face.

The Course it self is in really good shape for this time of the year. The greens are the biggest challenge as they are fast and none are flat. The fairways are well maintained and cut. There is little rough except around the water holes, which present their own challenge. The bunkers are clean, but could use a bit more sand.
The staff is friendly and helpful. I did not use the off course amenities, so had no chance to enjoy them although they present very well.

The course itself is in reasonable shape. The greens are unpredictable and few of them are level where they cut the holes. The bunkers have some sand but not nearly enough. The fairways are well trimmed.

Overall the course is tight with fairways side by side so slices and hooks are an issue. Not for the beginner golfer.

The course is in average to fair condition. The Bunkers are hard and not enough sand. They overpack the course and the pace is slow. It took 5 hours to play the round. For most of the round you are hitting into the wind and that adds to the difficulty. The greens are hard to read but mostly fast.

The course is in fair shape. The bunkers were wet and sloppy. There were wet areas all over the course.
At the starters post at the first tee, we were instructed to keep pace and give way to faster players. After waiting for 2 groups at every tee box, we reached the 9th hole and decided to skip it and head straight to the 10th. Having teed of and being within a chip on this par 5 hole, a guy from the pro shop chased us and started to scold us for doing so as an elderly gent and his 2 lady friends whom we had to wait for as they hit the ball 80 feet at a time complained. He ranted on about timing and such defending them. He then made us go all the way back behind them. Noting that there was no course Marshall and that his starter had advised us on pace of play, we had decided to skip a hole. He ranted about 2 groups on the tee box to which I explained it had been that way since hole 1. He was having nothing of it. We finished our round and left. The round took 4.5 hours and he said he was ok with that.

This is an average course, but has its members/regulars. The course itself was so-so and the bunkers were all wet and muddy. The price of the course is average for this time of year, but they hit you with paying for carts at the course without telling you on line. This is the first time I have played a course in Arizona where they charged for a cart in the 5.5 years I have lived here.
The reason for the slow pace of play, almost 5 hours for the round, is that they were allowing 5 people to play together at a group. This mad it so you were waiting at every hole and green.
There is no Marshall on the course and people were ignorant. Our group of 4 were almost struck with shots by the golfers behind us 4 times and not once did anyone yell fore.
I would not recommend this course as there are plenty of better ones in the area.

In the number of times, that I have played at this course, this was without a doubt the worst.
It started with the issue of no started and the guy in the clubhouse taking money trying to do both jobs. As my partner and I attempted to use 1 cart as they suggested, it turned out that the first cart we used was broken and would only hold one bag. The Clerk/ Starter was busy in the shop, so we took a second cart. He then got on the loudspeaker as we were on our way down the fairway and started to give us trouble in front of all at the course. When I went back to the Pro shop and explained,, he changed his tune as I became upset .for the defective cart.
Next we played behind a foursome who were quite obviously out of their depth and had to wait at every tee, but would not let us play through.
The course itself is over watered and lots of standing water on the fairways. The bunkers were either rock hard or muddy. If today's experience was my first, I would never return.
