Disappointed

Had long been looking forward to playing this course- and after doing so, never need to see it again. Unmemorable, remote, unkept. It seems once it was likely a better course, but they seem to have mostly let it go, and the layouts were obviously not Jack’s best work. The greens were in good condition, though sometimes almost goofy, especially the Wild Butro 9. Odd, steep undulations that a pro would struggle with & likely never tolerate. Tee boxes looked like they hadn’t gotten much attention in a week. No locker room near pro shop, no water on course nor beverage cart, though they did provide bottled water. The course is located remarkably far from anything. For the money I’d opt for Ventana Canyon in Tucson or Gold Canyon in Apache Junction.

Challenging but fair

Our foursome included three 1-handicaps and an 11. We played from the Yellow tees and it was challenging enough even though it was 200 yards shorter than we usually play. Conditions were HOT but not windy so pretty much optimum.
GPS on carts was helpful for distance to bunkers and carry over washes. The adventure begins when you reach the greens which were in great shape.
There was no beverage cart (slow day because of the intense heat) but there was an opportunity to stop at the "turn shack".

In decline

Been playing here since the course first opened. Conditions have been on a long slow decline over the last 5 or 6 years. Climate is harsh but other courses around town seem to be managing better including a couple nearby munis. In addition to course maintenance, it is surprising to see significant damage to cart paths going unrepaired for years. Finally the massive build up of housing around the coursed tracts from the experience.

I am sure that I will keep coming back but it's disappointing to see the decline.

Great shape

The course was in good shape for this time of year. The greens are always challenging with their undulations. Pace of play was excellent.

Little forgiveness for errant shots

This course is gorgeous but challenging. There are ample fairway and green side sand bunkers, but also arroyos that traverse the fairways. Enjoy, and take in the beauty of the surrounding rock formations and saguaro forests!

Sand Traps & Holes!!!

I love playing challenging courses. This was the most challenging I've ever played. Sand traps in the middle of fairways & hole placements was on top of a ice cream cone!!! This track HAS to be redone just a bit to be more user friendly. I was told that the 'pros' don't like the layout. I'll go back if changes are made. I played Copper tees & scrambled my ash off for a 96.

A championship course with spectacular views

Former home of the Accenture match play, this course is always a challenge with its length and strategic layout. Lots of fun with elevation changes, great views and your shots will travel a long way here.

A thinking-man’s course

It is a challenging course that requires the player to review each fairway before Tee-off to stay out of trouble.

Always a pretty site to spend a few hours

Course was in relatively nice condition for transition time of turf. Disappointed that I wasn't told the Wild Burro greens had recently been aerated.

Pace of play was good until last couple holes, pleasant way to spend an afternoon in a beautiful spot.
