Starfire Golf Club - The King Course
Played On 01/28/2024Cave Creek Golf Course
Played On 10/29/2023Overseeding success
Overseeding just completed, and they did a great job.
This was the best that I have ever seen this course, and I have golfed here many times.

Played On 10/22/2023overseeding done
We were worried that overseeding restrictions would still be in place when we hit the course but found out that they had all bee lifted. Yeah!!!. Course was in great shape, my only complaint is that they are letting the border grass grow long so had a hard time finding balls a few times. Played with two great partners, one from England and one from Canada.
General George V. Underwood, Jr. Golf Complex - Sunset Course
Played On 09/23/2023Worst course ever
Fairways were mostly dirt yet there were random spots all over the course where the irrigation was leaking, creating mini swamps. Lady behind the bar was just plain nasty

Played On 06/27/2023You get what you pay for
it is still just June and the course looks like August. Lots of burned out areas on the fairway and many spots just bare dirt. Tee boxes were also just bare dirt on many holes. Bunkers for the most part had good sand. Glad I only paid $30 for the round
Thank you for playing Orange Tree Golf Resort. This part of the year the grasses are transitioning, it is common among golf courses in AZ. We aerated our tee boxes, and we are continuing to make improvements to all our bunkers. We look forward to your next visit.
Grand Canyon University Golf Course
Played On 06/25/2023Sub par course
It is only June and the course was looking more like August. Lots of bare spots on the fairways and even more spots where the grass was sparse. Greens were bumpy and a couple of my putts didn't go in because there seemed to be a rim around the hole. Club house was beautiful and staff were all extra friendly
Arizona Golf Resort
Played On 11/26/2022Never again
I am through with this golf course. I had several bad experiences last year so I decided to give them another try this year and it was a complete disaster. We arrived for our scheduled tee time and ended up having to wait a full hour before we could finally tee off. They tried to blame it on Frost warnings but the temperature never got below 45 the night before so I think they lied about that. I think that they overwatered the course as everywhere we went the course was soggy and wet. It took 3 hours to finish the first nine holes because of the long waits. And we only were able to complete 14 holes before it got too dark to play even though our tea time was at 12:30. The front line wasn't too bad but the back nine most of the fairways were bare dirt, I guess they're overseeding didn't work out very well

Played On 11/11/2022The only thing that saved the day was how perfect the weather was
Pace of play was extremely slow, took 3 hrs to finish the front 9 and only got in 13 holes before it got dark. In addition, the greens were horrible, some of the worst putting conditions I have ever seen. The grass was far too tall and the surface was very bumpy, and the putting was super slow. Fairways were okay after overseeding but if you hit off of the fairway you were frequently in hard packed dirt.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Starfire Golf Club - The King Course
Played On 09/30/2022Victim of overseeding
I think I am going to quit trying to gold during overseeding. I never have a good experience. In this case, we paid a regular greens fee, but the front 9 was actually on their executive course. The pace of play was horrible, took 2-1/2 hrs on the front 9 on an executive course. Overseeding forced us to be "cart path only" which slowed things up even more. And of course during overseeding, they keep the grass long, so I lost several balls. Once overseeding is done, this is generally a great course
Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course
Played On 08/07/2022Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club
Played On 07/31/2022No water
The course was in great condition, I love the challenge of the course. The beverage cart server was very friendly as were the cart boys. I have one big complaint though and that is that there was no water available anywhere on the course. We are in a desert and you should have water stations available, most courses do have water available
Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course
Played On 06/26/2022Typical Phoenix summer conditions
The fairways and greens were both dry and hard. It was hard to get the ball to stick! There were lots of burned out areas of grass on the fairways and several of the bunkers were dry and hard. That is why I gave a 3 star, I would expect better conditions from a higher level course such as this. Otherwise, everything else was 5 star.

Played On 11/27/2021They don't sell alcohol
Course was in great condition and the weather was perfect. However, no alcohol sales either from a beverage cart or from the clubhouse.
Raven Golf Club - Phoenix
Played On 07/16/2021A bad day of golfing beats a good day at work
Course was in excellent condition except for the greens. They had just been aerated the previous week and they were very bumpy and slow. Even the course ranger quipped "get used to 3 putting". We played in a light rain for the first 9 holes which is an extreme rarity in Phoenix, but the cloud cover helped to keep the heat down
Bear Creek Golf Complex - Bear Course
Played On 04/17/2021Sunland Village Golf Course
Played On 04/03/2021Too Uptight
First, let me say the course was in great shape and eating at Rochester's after golfing was a great experience. However, our actual golfing experience was greatly diminished by the overwhelming scrutiny we got. First off, it was 97 degrees. In addition, I had my 84 yr old Dad with a heart condition and neuropathy and my brother in law who is handicapped due to permanent spinal nerve damage. We were on the very first hole approaching the green when a lady walked all the way across the course from her home to inform us that we were parked too close to the green. We were respectfully 20 yards off of the green which is standard for handicapped golfers. We explained our situation and she left. The very next hole a course employee (not the ranger) showed up, apparently the first lady had called and reported us. Again we explained our situation and she left, stating "try not to let anyone see you". After another few holes,, finally a course ranger showed up and we had to explain it all over again. After that, at least 2 other times the ranger showed up to watch us, he didn't say anything, but he was over-scrutinizing us. This took a lot of the joy out of the game. My BIL says he will never go back there again. Most courses have handicapped flags and/or policies but apparently Sunland Village doesn't. And ever worse, they have residents who don't even work there reporting things. I would recommend this course to others as long as you aren't handicapped
Painted Mountain Golf Club
Played On 03/27/2021Took too long
First off, the good news. The pro shop staff and starters were all very friendly and professional. The course was okay, the fairways were a little thin for this time of the year.
Now the bad news! I don't know what they were thinking, they allowed 2 groups of 5 people ahead of us, and one of the groups had several beginners with them. We had long waits at every hole until finally on the 13th hole the ranger made the group ahead of us skip a hole. After that we didn't have any waits. Took 5 hrs to complete.
Mission Royale Golf Club
Played On 12/18/2021Locked in the bathroom
Our day of golfing started out great, the weather was perfect and the course was in good condition. We finished just as the sun set so we were able to finish 18 holes before dark. However this is where the story turns bad. I dropped my wife off at the bathrooms and then I dropped off the cart and unloaded our golf bags. I went back looking for my wife and found out that she was locked in the bathroom. She was extremely distraught, verging on a panic attack that she is claustrophobic. I went around the corner to the grill and it was locked and all the lights are off but fortunately I saw someone putting their jacket on. I pounded on the door and she came with the key and we were able to get my wife out. There were still two carts behind us and they both wanted to use the bathroom and they couldn't either. Since this was a Saturday night I waited until Monday to call and talk to the manager, when I expressed my discussed at the whole situation he was very standoffish, basically told me that they always locked everything at 6. I guess that means that if you were in the bathroom at 6 you get locked in. And at this time of the year again it's dark at 5:30 so I know that it was well before 6 when they lock the doors
Starfire Golf Club - The King Course
Played On 07/27/2020Very disappointed
I have golfed here many times in the past, and the course was always in good shape. Today I was very disappointed in the condition of the course. The greens were in pretty good shape for summer in Phoenix, but the fairways and tee boxes were in miserable shape. The majority of the fairways are dirt with scattered crab grass clumps. And if you were unfortunate enough to hit into the rough, the grass was far too deep and I lost a couple of balls that way. In addition we got stuck behind of threesome of young golfers. They were playing off of the blue tees all day, a lot of their tee shots were dribblers for 100 yds. They wouldn't let us play through (we were a twosome) and they backed up several other groups as well. Cart girl and staff were very friendly.
Ahwatukee Country Club
Played On 04/01/2019Some of the worst greens I have ever played on
The greens were in horrible condition. They were 50% brown/dead grass, they were bumpy and there was lots of debris on several of them. Fairways were in good condition, but as soon as you got off the fairways you were frequently playing dirt. Tee boxes were not in great shape either. This course is in serious need of an upgrade. There are no signs at any of the holes to tell you the yardage, what hole it is, etc.
We appreciate your taking the time to leave us very helpful feedback and we're hard at work to improve conditions.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, dokzok. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Cave Creek Golf Course!
