Fun course great pace

This course was a real fun course to play on. The fairways were forgiving, great pace of play. The greens were a little rough but nothing some TLC can’t fix. I know it’s an older course but it showed it still has great potential of being a beautiful course. The staff was great, very friendly and very helpful. I would definitely come back and play here again.

P.S be on the look out for wild life, first hole we spotted a big snake in the fairway lol.

Nice fairways and decent greens

Overall the course is pretty sweet. Only tough part was landing anywhere but the fairways, lots of desert areas and high grass rough. Bunkers weren’t soft at all, more dirt than actual sand.

Apocalyptic golf course

This golf course looks like it hasn’t been mowed or taking care of since 1972 . the greens were the worst greens out ever played. It looks like a course that you’d play after a zombie apocalypse or a nuclear war. It’s that bad come on Golf resort and hotel give me a break.

Great Course with some Cons

Absolutely loved the course however the “rough “ of the fairways etc is way too long. Found myself loosing balls because It rolled off fairway into thick grass that I normally would find. But due to rain I’m guessing things got over grown like crazy.

Give it a shot.

It's a little out of the way but course was in good shape and fresh sand in all bunkers. Course I had a fabulous round so that made it better. Anyways a week before the open and this course was 69$. Everything else over a 100 and some courses even raise their regular rates from 90 to 150 plus. Seriously 350$ for a round at the Boulders? 80 bucks in June..... If you like to be gouged, enjoy if not give this course a try!

Christmas tee off time.

Nice laid-back course with friendly staff. But some of the greens could do some care because of the mole hills.

Great "out of the city" course

We enjoy getting out of the Phoenix area and playing this wonderful course every year. Have always gotten a good rate. The layout is nice as well as the course conditions. See you next winter, thanks.
