The Lakes At Ahwatukee

This is the worst golf course in Arizona. Terrible conditions. No bathrooms. They do have port a potty that are not cleaned. The smell almost made me throw up. Most of the golf course is dirt. There isn’t a club house but a dirty trailer. There is nothing good about this place. Staff is rude. There is not a worse golf course in Arizona.

Honestly should’ve known this place sucked once I saw the pro shop is a double wide trailer. If you landed in the fairway you were in good shape, if you landed anywhere next to the fairway you were hitting off hard rock or dead grass. The ranger got mad because I drove in the dirt on a par 3 lol. Save the time and money this course will have you wonder if you suck at golf or if it’s just the poor course conditions. I’ll never be back here.

The tee boxes and fairways are fantastic. The greens are what make the course bad. They are turning this course around so with all the improvements in the last year to the overall course, I expect this course to be excellent this time next year. Keep up the great work, it’s improving!

Beginner golfer loved the challenging lakes and bunkers. Friendliest staff at a course u have been too

Course has made major improvements over the 2 years it’s been open. Greens and tee boxes are near perfect, fairways are 7/10, and the rough is very rough. Curious to see what this course looks like in a few years.

Course is coming back to life, fairways and greens look great. Staff is very friendly! We’ll play again.

Great course to work on your short game. Staff is great . Title of give it chance meaning give it chance for a comeback . Reopening a course can be tough but they have made it playable . Look at this way you can pay much for and not make the fairways and play on desert anyways so why not work on your gave and if you make the fairways you good here. If you don’t it can be a little
Weedy instead just desert rock. So overall the fact the staff is great and friendly and the sense of give us a chance to come back will get me to support this course again and again and help be part of a comeback .

Coarse conditions have improved so much. I had a blast playing there and the staff is great.

I 1st played this course 40 years ago and very happy to see it coming back.
The positives:
- a great walking course and fun to play
- overseeded green grass in fairways, greens and fringe
- sand in the bunkers
- friendly staff
Areas for improvement:
- cups are not placed correctly, many of them were raised up causing short flat putts to break significantly away from hole
- lakes were half filled and had smelly algae issue but it looks like they were filling them
- lots of bare areas and weeds around fairways
Overall a great value and I will be back. Hoping to see continued improvement.

Grass is in good condition. Good variety of holes.

The Lakes was one of few available for a last minute tee time that was affordable for my son and I. The conditions for the Greens, Fairways and Tees were very good. The course has really come a long way over the last few years. I hope more people play here, but kind of don't so it stays affordable.

Lots of water on the front, not as much on the back. Have to be accurate and know your distances.

Course could use some work, greens are quick. Fun round with a greay pace under 4hrs. Staff are amazing!

2:54 tee time, played 9 holes and then kicked off the course at 5:00 pm. There was still 30 minutes of daylight and a lot of people still playing. You could tell the staff didn’t care and just wanted to go home.. The general attitude was not good. The course conditions were not great either. The community deserves better.
