Friendly Staff

Great Proshop staff, Sunday morning is very busy but we played in 3 hours which is great.
The course is in very good condition, however don't let Par rating discourage you from playing, the greens are large with tons of undulations, which can make you give up on a par sometimes if your putt is not perfect.
I would recommend that you play this great gem! Bmer

TERRIBLE COURSE -WASTE Of MONEY

The greens were extremely slow. The layout was bad. You had to drive through a lot of traffic to get through the neighborhood.
We were informed prior to arriving the fee was $40 per round. When we arrived,we were told the fee was $60. On a great day,thiscourse would never be worth $60. The man in the pro shop had a terrible attitude and customer service. We would never recommend this course or golf it again. We wouldn't even hold it if it was free. The greens are horrendous!

Hello Ryan-Fountain Hills Golf Course,

My review was posted Nov 25, 2019. It took you until Jan 21st, 2020 to respond. Your delay in responding and the manner you responded reinforces everything I posted.

Thanks for your comments, to clear a couple things up you played 2 weeks after we open from overseeding so the greens will be slower just like any other course in our area. Also you were quoted the correct rate, but i'm guessing by your kind words above you brought in a buy one get one coupon which is off the rack rate of $60 (says on the coupon) which is a savings of 10 bucks each, not $60 a player. Please make sure that you know what your talking about before leaving a POOR comment, if you can find a course in the east valley that is $30 for 18 hole of golf, cart and tax in the good condition as ours, please play there. If you have any questions please contact Ryan at FOSCC. Thanks

Great Short Course

I have a grandfather that lives in the community so I have had the pleasure of playing this course numerous times on different visits throughout the past few years. Each and every time I visit there are some strong consistencies, 1) the course is always in fantastic shape, 2) the staff is always very friendly, 3) pace of play is always really good. I look forward to every time I get to play. Beware, there are plenty of holes where accuracy of the tee is crucial.

First time but will return

This course is within 5 miles of my house but I never thought about playing here. Went today and was very pleasantly surprised. It is a nice executive course but distances are hardy and a lovely neighborhood

Executive GEM!

Booked this course on a referral and I was not disappointed. It lived up to the rave review I was provided. Excellent course conditions! Greens were pristine! Only myself and another single in front of me. We eventually joined up and had a GREAT day of golf! Excellent place to tune in your irons on the par 3 as well as hone in the pitching and putting. A few holes where you can unleash the big gun too. Maybe the best Executive course I've played.

In great shape

The new grass has come in nicely. Fairways and tees are in great shape. Greens are a little "fuzzy" and slow, but overall a nice day!

Well kept!

This course is one of the nicest "short" courses in the East Valley. It's almost always in great condition and the greens run very true. Having two par 5 holes adds to it's appeal. It's great to play 18 holes in under 4 hours when you have other plans for the afternoon.
