Desert Canyon
Very unique course with lots of up and down fairways, beautiful views and some elevated Par 3s that are extremely fun. Overall friendly and helpful staff. No water on the course but they did a good job of notifying you in advance.
Good course, good value
Nice golf course greens in great shape staff is friendly marshals kept the pace moving goo value
Cart Boy
Golf and staff were terrific except for one older man with a mustache whose job is cleaning and distributing carts. Very disrespectful way of speaking/yelling at people. Will go somewhere else next time where they treat guests with the respect they deserve. ✌️
Just a really good time
Excellent layout with lots of ups and downs that you wouldn’t expect in the desert. Course was in great shape and the greens, although not the fastest on earth, were very, very nice. Par 3’s from the tips were a challenge when guessing how long to play them. Best of all though were Gordy, the lady’s in the pro-shop and the starter. These folks went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. I joked with the Marshall’s as well. It was, all in all, just a really good time and I’d go back in a heartbeat.
Nice course
There are a lot more extreme hills that a typical AZ course. I would play this again If the pace of play would have been handled be a marshal.
Desert Canyon
Golf marshals were asleep at the wheel. Very slow play. This is the first time I’ve experienced the attitude of the marshals and the cart crew. I’ve been there a dozen times and had great service, but yesterday was very different,
Getting pricey
I like this course and it is close to our new home. However, I paid 30% more for my round than last month.
Getting a bit pricey at over $ 200 p.p.
Course in good condition and challeging with enough opportunities for pars and birdies.
With no players within a hole ahead or behind us and while playing at a sub 4 hour pace, I did not appreciate a ranger following us, watching our every move with a big scowl and telling us we were playing slow. No need for that.
Fun course!
This course has it all…smooth layout of holes, with challenging but fun approaches. Course is in excellent shape and the greens are quick but forgiving. Will come back and play this one again.
Favorite course
Great golf course & club house experience! Beautiful course & beautiful location!
