Ok course for the money, very slow play though

The course was ok, but we had to wait on every hole. No ranger to move slow groups along.

Nice, well kept short course with friendly staff

Played this course with my wife twice during the month of January. The course is always in great shape and the staff (especially Reggie) was super friendly.

Nice short course with friendly staff

Played this course with my wife and we were paired with an off-duty starter named Ron. The course was in great shape and the staff (including Ron) were super friendly. Pace of play was great as well.

Nice short course, but extremely slow play on the front 9

First time playing this course. The staff were friendly and the course was in good shape (other than the last 4 holes that were closed for green aeration). However, pace of play was a real problem on the front 9. I guess this course is really popular with seniors and we had 2 groups of them in front of us. It took us about 2.5 hours to play the front nine. Fortunately, the "seniors" only played 9 and we were able to play the back nine in a little over an hour. I had to replay 4 holes on the back to make up for the last 4 that were closed, but that was ok.

Like this course, but today took too long to play

We play this course a lot when we're in the Scottsdale area and like it a lot. The course and staff are always top notch. Today when we started they suggested that we would be done in 3 hours. Well, almost 4.5 hours later, we finally finished. Very slow play - waiting on every hole, etc. Didn't enjoy it much because of the slow play. Lesson learned - we won't play again on a weekend.

Nice course and great pace of play

The course and staff were great today. Weather was perfect too. My only complaint are the over the top COVID rules here - masks required on the practice areas, restaurant door locked so you have to go around to get inside ;(even with the required reservation). Sorry we stayed for lunch after our round.

Surprising (but nice) for a short course

This was a very nice short course, but not at all easy (for me anyway). The course was in good shape and not busy. We didn't have to wait on any hole. The greens were very difficult to read. Overall a very enjoyable round.

Played 18 with my wife at Yorktown today and had a good time. Finished the round in under 2 hours (no one in front of us). Nothing spectacular here, but a nice executive course for the money.

Slow play and terrible greens

We’ve played this course several time and like it for a short course option. However, today was the exception. The greens were in terrible shape and they had just begun aeration on #1 and left the aerator running, sitting right in front of the green with no one around. We basically had to play around it. Also, we got behind an elderly gentleman who was literally playing 4 balls by himself. Luckily, he quit after 9. I said something to the ranger and he said “he’s a regular and will let you play through (but he didn’t). In summary, we just didn’t enjoy our round as much as normal. Great weather though!

Very wet, cart paths only

We didn't realize how much rain they've had here recently (5"), so we also didn't expect cart paths only. It was very wet and I understand why they required paths only, but the course was pretty swampy in many places. My wife only played the par 3's when she found all the walking involved (bad back). The weather was perfect though and the pace of play was fine. Will play again someday when it's no so wet.

Nice short course, but super busy

This is a nice short course, but today was MLK day and the place was packed. Couldn't even find a parking place in the lot and had to park up the street at a shopping center. Also ran out of carts and people were waiting past their tee times for carts. Having said all of that, pace of play wasn't good, but not as bad as expected (4 hour round). Staff is always very nice and course was in good shape.

very slow play today

We play Rolling Hills several times when we're here for the winter(s), and normally really enjoy it. However today the pace of play was extremely slow with our round taking 4 hours and 50 minutes. We had to wait on every hole. They really need a ranger to keep things moving. Will continue to play here because normally we really enjoy it. Course was in great shape and the staff was very nice.

Terrible pace of play

I’ve played here before and it’s always busy but today was over the top in slow play. We had to wait on one and sometimes two foursomes on every hole. To make matters worse, we were a twosome and had very fast players behind us (actually hit into us twice). My wife and I play very fast so it was “hurry up and wait” all day long. Needless to say it was not enjoyable and I won’t play here again.

Andy, I'm so sorry you felt rushed. But I am surprised you felt pace of play was bad? Yes, we were delayed with frost, but from the group just ahead of you played 18 holes in 3 hours and 31 minutes? I'm sure it felt slow as a twosome, but we were closely monitoring pace of play, and everyone that afternoon played in less than 3 hours and 35 minutes?

As for getting hit into...I would suggest, if this happens, to call the golf shop and make them aware of the situation, so they can speak to the group behind you.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the day, frost can always make things feel worse than they are!

Hope you change your mind!

Nice round at a nice course

It's been a few years since I last played here and I had forgotten how enjoyable it is. Not too tough, but a well-kept course in a historic neighborhood. The course was in good shape, pace of play was fine and the weather was perfect (a little wind).

Good course and great staff

My wife and I played this course on a very windy day which was a bit of a challenge considering all the dust from construction going on around it (new homes), but we really liked the course and the layout. In a senior moment, I actually drove off and left my clubs at the bag drop by accident. I didn't discover this until the next day. As it turns out, the staff had taken our clubs inside and kept them for me which was very much appreciated.

Nice course overall but slow

I haven’t played here in over a year and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the course was. Not sure if they have improved it or my memory is just bad, but it seemed much nicer than I remember. The staff was also very friendly. My only issue was the pace of play. We played with another couple who are friends of ours and it took us over 4.5 hours for the round which is way too long for this short course. We had to wait on almost every hole. We’re in Las Vegas for a month and will probably give it another try.

Nice course for the money

This course is always fun to play and we got a great deal on GolfNow. Our only issue was a slow group in front of us (hitting multiple balls, etc), but the ranger came and took care of that. A good round overall.
