Great greens good course

1st time playing this course
The course itself is in nice condition it does however have an odd lay out
As it winds aimlessly through the old and newer parts of the housing community that has been built around it. It plays well but hard to give it an identity as some fairways are tree lined and super tight and others are wide open sometimes you feel secluded in the woods and others times your in the yards of houses that line the fairway. Again the course plays well and the greens we' re excellent, very fast and took
a few holes to realize that even though the very undulating and sloped greens didn't have much break due to the speed ,maybe an 11 on the stimp

not worth the effort

Too bad I can't give it no stars. Pro shop staff was very nice. Course conditions were one step up from a cow pasture. Green conditions were very fast but did not putt true. Gopher mounds in fairways. No course marshal so pace of play is whatever the locals wanted to allow. Would not recommend.

First time around and will be back!

Wanted to play a nice course in the Show Low area and this one qualifies. Had a bit of a hard time figuring out how far to hit it on some of the holes so distance is a key factor. Lots of holes require a pretty straight tee shot. Driver is not always the club off the tee. Greens were very nice...receptive to shots and very goo putting speed. The pine scent is all around you as you one plays this course. I will be back again, now that I have some local knowledge.

Always love playing but greens are slick

Course is always in wonderful condition. Be prepared though the greens are fast fast fast. Not always receptive of approaches from the fairway as they can skip right off. With this being said I can’t wait to come back and play another round.

Nice course but tight

Nice course tucked in amongst the trees and a LOT of houses. Some of the fairways are very narrow. Course was in good shape.

Playing through the pines.

What a great course for the money. It is beautiful playing through the tall pine trees. Many elevation changes throughout the course. Felt very welcome from the time we checked in, through the starter, and when we finished. Considering this has been a private course for members which is now open to the public, made us feel as welcome as one of the members.
