Verrado Golf Club - Founders Course

Whenever I am in the Phoenix area I try to play the founders course.

Always in good condition even after overseed
Fairways - 9
Greens - 9
Bunkers - 7
Tee Box -8
Pace of play - 6 cart path only
Layout 8

Played 400 courses , give it a try

Absolutely beautiful, rock, desert, elevation changes, excellent conditions, attentive staff and marshalls. Played during cart path only which was a little rough but would love to come back another time when the course is fully available. Its an expensive course compared to others in this general area but worth playing at least once.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday and had an amazing day playing Founders. The staff at the course were the BEST!!!

Distracted staff in the club house, lack of awareness in the cart barn staff, no water on the back half of the front 9, took 2:45 for 9 holes (we got 13 holes in before sundown and we started before 2:20pm), starter didn’t know pin position, we prepaid for all 4 golfers (only 3 could show) and they tried to put a 4th with us without suggesting we could get a refund for the 4th player (I had to tell them twice that we paid for the full tee time, and we are not accepting another golfer with us). So sad to continually see this course not paying attention to its customers, yet always trying to financially take advantage when it only makes sense for them. Disappointed.

Had a great time with some other first timers. Did not score well because of the lack of course knowledge, you should know where to hit the ball off the tee to be able to reach the greens in regulation. The look off the tee box is a wide open fairway but the truth is you can easily be in a bad position to reach the green. Still, great course & well maintained.

First time here, very friendly staff. A little pricey, even with golf now, but an upper tier course. Pretty nice overall but over 100 degree day but plenty of water on the course.

I only gave 3 stars for the course condition, but to be fair, Phoenix has had 110 plus high temperatures for 20 straight days. I have played this course 2 other times in cooler temperatures and the course was in excellant shape.
I would play here again!

I realize it is summer in AZ, but the course was not in its normal glory. I haven't played here for a few years, but this is not the course I remember. The fairways and tee boxes are dry. The greens are inconsistent and bumpy. The layout is interesting, but with the dry conditions your tee shot just rolls with the contours until it is off the fairway. Kind of takes the enjoyment out of a good tee shot to have it roll into the junk.

This course is one of the best I have played this year. Every aspect of the course was perfect. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, approaches, and greens were well groomed and in very good shape. The club house doesn't open until 1100 which slowed us down a little, but the staff let us come into the airconditioned clubhouse until they got everything up and running.

Course is in poor shape
Greens and not good
Fairways are dead
Tee Boxes are Dead
Need Some Help Here for the Cost of Green Fees
Was expecting Better for the Rates charged

Course was in very poor condition for the price of green fees
Tee boxes were dead. Fairways were dead
Greens were very patchy in many locations

This course needs some help with course management and green fee prices

Normally the Founders course is an enjoyable round of golf. However on this occasion the greens were terrible. They were so bumpy it was nearly impossible to hit a putt online.
