Wish they had a beverage person and a marshall.

Front nine was slower than it needed to be because some Knuckle head was on his phone whie trying to hit a ball. Waiting on a twosome hole after hole watching this guy dig up the turf because he's missing the ball with his phone in his hand, Unbelievable. This is when they needed to have a Marshall. Thank goodness they must of stopped and had a break at 9, we got a head of them and had no wait. Also with the weather being hot it would be nice if there was a cart person coming around. I guess with the lower prices it's not feasable.

Very nice course with lots of sand.

If you like bunkers, this is the course for you! I think they said there was 108. You must be a pretty accurate golfer to do well here. The course was in very good conditions. Greens rolled extremely fast. Fairways are in great conditions. Pace of play wasn't too bad had a 4 some ahead and another 4 some before them , that slowed it down just a bit. Cart girl was avaiable which is nice, many don't have them during summer. Food and drinks are expensive. Big negative was the bathroom for women was out of order on the course, they only have one so that is a issue.

Another great day

Pace of play was typical. A little back up on the turn but no more than a 10 min wait. Once we got rolling it was fine. Course is in good shape. Would have been nice to have a cart girl. I didn't get any ice in my cooler so drinks weren't cold. Considering it was a hot day having a cart girl would of been nice. Other than that and my poor performance it was a great day. :)

Perfect weather.

This is our go to course. We come here a lot and usually the pace of play is good. Today it was a little slower than normal. Cart girl was making several rounds which was really nice, a lot of the cheaper courses you hardly see a cart girl if ever. We will be back.

Terrible day.

Looked at the weather that morning and no mention of rain, not sure what changed but I dressed for 70 and sunny, by the time we were into our second hole the wind kicked up and it started drizzling. Making the rest of the day pretty miserable. It was cold and wet. Pace of play was a little slow. We were being pushed by a two some that didn't understand that there was another twosome in front of us and a foursome infront of them. By hole 14 I was ready to call it quits, had my own cart and headed back to the club house to warm up, hit the bathroom and have a drink ,while the other person in our party finished the rest of the course. When we arrived back at the clubhouse it was locked up. No access to the bathroom , resturaunt or any shelter to keep warm and dry. Another golfer came up right after us and tried to use the door to bathroom and it was locked so he just went in the grass. It wasn't even 5 :30 and there was plenty of people still golfing. I know because I passed them coming back. I would think a club house would want the business of golfers after a round. But I guess not this one. I will certainly be more selective of T times knowing the clubhouse closes early on weekends.

Great day

Weather was perfect. Had a early t time so it was even a little chilly. Started out a slow because we got behind a 4 some and eventually that 4 some broke up and then it was just a 2 some, They were a little slow but we just practiced putting after each hole. No one was pushing us, so that was great. There's no cart girl and the club house is closed that early. So snacks or drink come from the starter shack. So it's limited. Also it was just scalped getting ready for over seeding. I didn't mind that. Arnold the gentleman who helps load the bags is always super friendly and helpful.

Nice Course for the money

Course was in good condition, The only issue was they have had a lot of storms lately and there's brush laying everywhere just to sides of fairway. So if you hit your ball just off the fairway your going to lose your ball. Looks kinda bad. Pace of play was slow at first , had a slow 4 some in front and then a 2 some. We ended up skipping a hole and then it moved along fine. Enjoyed lunch after in the clubhouse and food was good.

Course is in transition from being cut short for winter grass

The course was ok, They had just cut the grass short and for some reason they just left all the cut grass laying around. So it effected many shots. Not much shade on this course and no cart person. So better bring your own drinks. ( not alcohol they take that if they see it ) . Would of been more upset if I didn't get a decent rate.

Very nice Course and great club house

Had a 11 t time which brings us to the heat of the day. It was extremely muggy but around the back nine the breeze picked up and it was tolerable. Course was in great conditions for summer. Not burnt and greens played nice. There was a refreshment girl that we saw on the front and back nine. Sometimes in the summer you don't see them in the afternoon when you need them the most but she was there! After golf we had a late lunch at the club house and the food was really good. Manager was there and he was extremely nice and made the experience a overall 10 !! We will be back for both golf and food!

Great Condition considering the heat!

It was extremely hot and humid, not many people late in the afternoon. Pace of play was great. Course is in good condition , fairways were green and not all dry. The greens were a little dry but still good. Can't blame the course for my bad game! Just a little too hot for me.

Lots of water hazards

Course was in good shape. Too many maintenance men working on the fairways while trying to golf. Found it a little distracting trying not to hit them. Pace of play was a little slow. 4 some ahead of us was slow and that backed it up. Had to let 3 singles play through. This is a hard course for a average player like myself. Lost several balls to water the gods.I like the challange. Wish they provided cool towels that would have been nice. The heat and humidity was brutal .

Nice day!

Pace of play was great. No one pushing us. Open fairways. First time playing there. I would go back for sure. It turned out to be just as far as foothills, or Club West from south Chandler so I will play again. Only issue which seems common amoung many courses is cart girl leaves early and when it's the hottest part of the day there's no one to bring drinks or snacks.

Nice day.

I found this course to be pretty challenging, lots of water, bunkers and hills. The greens were in great shape and tee boxes. The fairways were a little rougher. Lots of muddy areas. Pace of play was great. No waiting and no one pushing us. I also have to say I have never seen a beverage girl so much in my life. I think she came around at least 4-5 times. it was nice. Usually you hardly see them. Staff inside was very nice also.

Getting better!

I have played here several times and for the last 3 years its been a work in progress. It seemed before they had really let this place slip and weren't keeping up the grounds. The fairways and greens have improved and it's coming back. I enjoy the course and the views. I like that there is snack girl riding around. I know many courses don't have them on week days. Hopefully they keep it up. Prices are about average. Hot deal is always the way to go around here in the winter. I won't ever pay full price for any course. Just can't afford it in the winter.

Great day!

Arrived early for a 8:08 T-time. Had a three some but our third was running behind. The gentleman at the starter shack was very nice and put us in right when our third showed up, which was only about 10 min later. pace of play was great, never really waited on any hole. Course was in good shape. Greens were running fast. Overall a enjoyable day considering I played lousy! Stayed after for the $1 beer and had a great lunch at the bar patio. The bag drop guys are always really courteous too.
