Best value you’ll find on a short notice tee time
For a beginner like myself (6mo experience), you’ll likely have a rough game. Every hole provided a challenge, whether it be water (very common) or a tricky bunker along the fairway or right in front of the pin. My highlight of the game was hitting my only bogey on 15. Most holes are par 3s but vary widely in distance. Some instances where you pull out a driver on a par 4.
The best part of the course was certainly the staff. Jim will likely be helping you out with getting your cart set up and filling you in with basics about the course. Really cool dude. He even offered to wipe my clubs when my round was over. Don was the course marshal during my round and he was very polite albeit very direct about course rules and cart etiquette. I took Don’s direct demeanor as a reflection of the pride that he and the course staff take in this course. I guess it recently opened after being closed for a very long time; they’re working really hard to get the course looking well.
Fairways look amazing, very easy to see your ball regardless of color. Greens roll well and are consistent. Roughs could look better, but all the more motivation to stay out of it. I hate playing bunkers, but they were really nice here.
Biggest / only harsh downside is no amenities. Course is run out of a mobile trailer and provides a very limited pro shop. No restaurant on site, but there was a sausage vendor at the turn (yummy). No drinking water on the course. Many tee boxes didn’t have trash bins. Overall experience: one of the best value plays out there. The staff were the best and would be the main reason I’d return to the course, although I think I’ll wait until my game has improved a little bit.
We really enjoy this course. The groundskeepers have done an amazing job over last year improving all aspects of the course. Staff very friendly and proud of the course. A good mix of holes that allows me to use most of my bag. The GolfNow hotdeal is consistently a great value
Fun course
For old guys like me this is a fun course. I shot 65 and got 4 birdies--the most ever for me!
Great course so happy it’s back! Good manager
Jim Reynolds is the man! He was a great manager on the morning of our round! The course is in great shape and I am happy it is back, hope the prices stay the same cause it’s the best deal in the valley this winter.
Shout out Jim from one Mass man to another! Go pirates
I didn’t try it for a while because of reviews, but it was a good course. Par 3s vary in distance so you use multiple irons. Fairways were nice and bunkers had good sand. There’s a range and putting green too. Definitely will play again
Challenging exec course on the way up
Second year course has been open for play after owner shut down for over 5 years. Fairways and greens were in good shape; discovered multiple times that the bunkers had good sand . The grounds overall aren’t that nice but has surrounding mountain views. Currently being run out of a trailer and no drinking water or beverage cart. Range and putting green adequate. Course was just right distance to walk without getting worn out. Challenging layout and reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly and chill. Definitely going back.
Snowbird here, staff was the friendliest in the valley this year!! Pace was great, lots of water - so had to play accordingly. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great shape, and a great price as well!! Will definitely play again.
Great Deal
Lots of water (they don’t call it the Lakes for nothing!). Cool layout and fun to play. Unbelievably great deal for Phoenix area golf in the winter. One of the more challenging executive courses I have played. Well worth the time and money. Looks like it may have just re-opened? Temporary trailer for a clubhouse. No food/beverages. I never judge a course by what they offer in amenities, if you do this isn’t your place (yet). Hopefully they will add a true clubhouse. Greens were a little bumpy and most putts didn’t roll true. But a foursome under $100 in the winter can’t be beat. Best deal in Phoenix right now hand down.
A Great Work in Progress
Overall, a fun course! The greens and fairways were in quite good condition! The roughs were… really rough. However, considering where this course used to be, it’s easy to see that they are trying to revitalize is, which is a good thing. Overall, fairly affordable and a fun round.
Dave - General Manager
I was approached by a golfer a couple holes in and was told to stay off the fairway. I was surprised because when I can checked in, no one informed me that it was cart path only or that you start on hole 10. Not only was this golfer rude when he approached me, I later found out he was the general manager (Dave). He never mentioned working for the course but felt the need to rudely interrupt me in the middle of the hole to let me know where my cart should be. He was also playing in a fivesome ahead of us (we were a twosome) and they were all playing from different tees, slowing pace of play. For a course that is just reopening and trying to establish clientele, I was not impressed with the general manager’s behavior. People as rude as him should not work with the public. Thankfully, they have some awesome guys like Rich who cleaned our clubs and apologized for the experience. Hopefully, you don’t get stuck on the course with the GM. Because of him, I will not be back, hold any of my annual golf tournaments there or refer any of my family, friends or clients to this course because of my experience with this GM.
Hidden Gem
This is a great golf course to play . The different distances and course layout with hazards are truly challenging. This is one of the many reasons why I love playing this golf course. Staff is very friendly and professional. The greens run pretty fast and the fairways are amazing, a lot of work has gone into revamping the Lakes and its showing .
Definitely an Improvement
We haven't played this course in a while. It was a nice surprised to see how much it has improved. It was really nice to see that they redid the bathroom on hole 14/15. Greens looked great. Still some work to be done but overall it's looking much better.
