Great Course

First time my friend, Joe and I played the course. We were both impressed by how well the course and greens are maintained. We played the West/North nines and the pace of play was excellent. We weren’t rushing at all but played 18 holes of golf in 2 1/2 hours. Nice layout and very wide fairways. The homes on the course do not come into play at all. We both recommend the course and plan to play it again when a couple of our golf buddies come to visit.

Why are marshals paid?

Played the North/west courses at palm valley. This was our first time playing here so like you are, I found myself reading reviews about this place, some good some bad, the good are the fairways and greens are in fairly good shape if you hit it straight you will find a good grass, if you are not a straight hitter you will not find good grass. Remember this course is in AZ, a desert.

The bad, round took 5 1/2 hours because it was cart path only, there was some rain the previous day, so I understand this. There were no staff checking on the condition of the course throughout the day by 1pm the course was dry to drive on. This would have solved some of the delay issues. One number one on the west course it’s a blind shot dog leg left, bigger hitters can cut the corner and take off a lot of the hole, well don’t because there’s a lake you cannot see and the marshal will be to busy telling jokes to the group on deck. Now I will blame our group as we could have looked at a map, but marshals could help. Now after taking 2 hours to play 3 holes on the north course, the marshal drove up to us after watching the group infront fish more than one ball out of the water with a nine foot pole rather than play golf, and asked how it was going we told him slow and about how we’ve played 3 holes in 2 hours. His response was that’s what happens when we get 240 golfers. If your looking to play this course and do something after like grab drinks or grab dinner, don’t play here. You will end up at jack in the box because it will be the only 24 hr place still open. For 167$ it’s highway robbery, espically when they allow people to tee of at 2 or 3 o’clock. Our tee time was 1238 and we were putting at dusk on 18. If you took time to read this, spend the extra 20, 30, 40 $ go to a known big course in the valley and have a good time, will these we’ll known courses be packed and busy, yes, but these courses take pride in their business and will ensure you have a good time, unlike Palm valley.

Hi Spargo, We are sorry that you are disappointed but appreciate your great feedback. We are committed to providing you with a great experience and hope you give us another chance in the future. Our pace of play like most courses during the Phoenix Open is a pain point that we have focused considerable effort on improving by adding additional team members to marshall and start players. We will continue to focus on finding ways to improve and again hope we get to see you again soon so we can provide an improved experience.

Palm Valley is a golf factory

It was immediately apparent that ARCIS Golf is more interested in overall profits than maintaining a great golf experience. I have played several of their courses and all have the same characteristics. Slack maintenance, heavy tee schedule, unattractive course edges, and just generally not a fun place to play.

Not enough bathrooms for women

I have played this before and always wonder how they can get away with so few bathrooms. Women beware.
They have no ball washers at all. Water almost non existent. Signage poor. You come out of the tunnels always go left. Otherwise you’ll need end on another hole. This coarse was really dry and not a great value. Wigwam is a better alternative and has better greens.

Thank you for playing with us and for the great feedback. We do offer restroom facilities every 4-5 holes (North 5, South 6, West 3, West 8, and at the Turn in the Clubhouse). These are outlined and mapped on the scorecard if trying to map out the round and needs. Our cart paths will always take you from the green to the next tee box if ever in doubt of the routing and next hole. We hope we see you again soon so we can continue to improve upon your experience.

Enjoy playing palm valley at all three nine hole courses. However the practice facility could use some work. The areas to practice from were in terrible shape. Like hitting off bare ground absolutely no grass. The cost to play in my opinion could be a little lower. Perhaps 65-70 dollars at this time of year.

Palm Valley North/South course

We tee off didn't have any delays in pace of play. The course is in great shape and the greens were prestine and running true, quick. This course is one of my favorites and definitely will drive from Old Town Scottsdale to play the course again. I give them overall a 10.

Good course

The course has a nice layout. No real trouble making it easier than many. The rough is mostly packed sand and pebble. It could use some landscaping. It appears that they have a water drainage problem as many of the tunnels were closed. They directed you to drive over the curb and cross the street. I would definitely play again.
