Front 9 great; back 9 needs work

The front 9 was in excellent shape but the back 9 needs a good deal of work. The rough was.very patchy and the greens very lumpy. We still enjoyed our round but the conditions caused too many 3 putts.

1 and done

This course is in very bad shape. The greens are very bumpy and the rough is dirt and gravel.
Wait until 2025 to give it a try.

If you “skin” it don’t offer tee times

The driving range was nice and the practice green was ok. The course was very, very dry with grass clippings blowing all over the place. I’m my opinion, the course should already be closed go over seeding. It was hard to enjoy the day with these conditions.

Hello Pauli22,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your most recent round with us.

Unfortunately overseeding and the preparation required are unavoidable in Arizona this time of year. We typically use all channels available whether it is over the phone, online in our booking notes, and in person at check in to inform our guests about current course conditions during these times. We understand that sometimes we still fall short, and it sounds like on this day we let you down by not giving you notice ahead of time so you could make an informed decision. For that I am sorry, and take full responsibility. I would love to have you out again after overseeding if you're willing to give us another chance, so please give me a call on my cell phone at (925)-980-1006 and I would appreciate the chance to talk about your recent experience.

Best,
Andrew Frazier

One last round before overseeding

The course was in good shape for this time of year. Unlike so many other courses in the area, they have not already “skinned” the course while they kept offering tee times. We appreciated it and had a great time.

In great shape

The course is in great shape for this time of year. So many courses are brown and the grass is nonexistant at this time, but Toka Sticks is in excellent shape. Fairways are great, tee areas need a little work, and the greens are rolling true.

Great shape

The fairways and greens are in great shape.
Tree trimming has made the course very playable because you're rarely in "bad" trouble any more.
Pace of play was good, the company was great; you can't ask for anything more than that.

Best condition in 20 years

Hickory Hills is in surprisingly good condition. So much better than other years that I’ve played here. The greens are in great condition but earlier players did not take care of ball marks and were dragging their feet. Too bad, because they would have been fair even though the slopes make them very challenging. I booked 3 consecutive tee times and the staff was very accommodating. We had a great day!

Pace of play

It was very slow yesterday. We stopped after 9 holes and I’m sure the foursome behind us still had to wait on every tee.

Rough shape

This course is usually in good condition but yesterday the fairways had lots of areas that were just dirt. Where there was grass it was very wet. The greens have some kind of blight. This was definitely not the golf experience that I have come to expect at Sunbird.

Great shape

The price was great and the course is in very good condition. Pace of play was perfect once the group in front of us allowed us to play through. We had a nice breeze so cooling towels never came out of our bags. All in all, a very nice day!

First Time Playing

Where are the rangers?

This was my first time playing at Beechwood. The course is very playable - rewarded good shots in the fairways and punished a bit for wayward shots. The pace was a problem but it was a weekend so we expected it to be a little slow. We didn’t expect the threesome in front of us to be as slow as they were. There were 3 men - one good golfer, one who stood over his ball for at least 30 seconds before swinging, and one who only had a putter with him. He used the putter to tee off, hit fairway shots and putt. It was infuriating! Where was the ranger? How could they let someone on the course without clubs? We left after 9 because we couldn’t stand it any more! Too bad because we really wanted to play the whole course.

Aerated greens

This course has the toughest greens in the East Valley because they are pitched and difficult to hold. Now that they have all been aerated and sanded, it’s very difficult to get the ball in the cup. But worse than the condition of the course, was the behavior of the foursome in front of me. They were playing a scramble but they were unbelievably slow, rude, and crude. Loud cursing and inappropriate language that was demeaning to women was their normal. Too bad that they gave their league such a bad reputation.

Rough condition

The course is in very rough condition. It’s either bare ground or very wet grass. Pace of play was very slow. Combine those two issues and you have a long, difficult afternoon.

Thank you for taking the time to review our golf course. We are in the process of upgrading our irrigation system. Please be patient as the condition of the course may be inconsistent in some areas during the process. We would like the opportunity to have you back next season and you can see the improvements that we are making.
