McDowell Mountain Golf Club

There was divots on almost every green. Probably the punk kids playing in front of us.

They are getting ready to overseed but the fairways are in terrible shape beyond what overseeding would require. They clearly haven't watered the grass in weeks because there were a ton of large dirt only areas throughout. The greens were OK. Not worth the money at all - and it's a course I generally like although they have had condition challenges for a while.

Course was enjoyable and in good shape considering the brutal heat this summer. Greens and tee boxes are in good shape, with some bare spots on periphery of fairways. Staff was helpful. Will definitely do again.

I've been. out ro AZ several times on vacation a d always put McDowell Mtn on the list. Great layout and conditions (considering the brutal Summer). Greens rolled true and there was plenty to think about when deciding on your next shot. Staff was friendly a d I had a terrific local beer with my lunch after my round..
Great job by the team at McDowell Mountain, thanks for a great day!

Really would not recommend this course. Maybe in a month or two. The greens were in very good shape, but that's about it. So many dead spots on the fairways. Areas that were just dirt, as well as very "patchy". For the money, not worth it. Oh, forgot to mention that the bunker(s) were absolutely terrible.

I get that it is summer in Arizona, but the condition of the course shows that the ownership is not re-investing any money into maintenance or improvements. Hopefully the same management team is not running Grayhawk as they will destroy another fine venue in North Scottsdale.

The only complaint I have was the greens still showed the waffle effect from punching. This is an issue that we in Arizona have to put up with. The fairways were good, as where the tee boxes. The pace of play was excellent, because we were first out after playing through a 3-some on the number 3 hole. The 19th hole was good, although they did not sell pitchers of beer--a 16 ox was $8. Over all, it was a good day for gol.

Decent course, wish it was advertised that the back 9 was closed.

I was the last tee time in the afternoon so I didn’t see another golfer the whole round. The course is lush, greens roll and the desert and mountain views are spectacular. Also enjoyed all the wildlife, bunnies, road runners, quail, just tons of animals. Very fun and challenging course.

We were the first group out so it wasn't too hot and we played in 3 hrs 40 minutes. Course was in decent condition. Was surprised by how many ball marks were left unfixed on the greens. Usually you just see that on cheap muni courses.

Had a very nice round although there was a group in front of me that had 2 of the foursome that was learning the game. Think it’s great that new people are getting involved in the sport but they were hitting sometimes 3 balls off the tee, and multiple balls in the fairway. I was eventually able to play through but it would be helpful to have someone from the course drive through maybe once per round.
