Great Course For The Price

You wont find many courses better for the price. Paid $29 for a Friday morning time. Pace was good for the most part, course is in pretty good condition. Rough and tee boxes could be a little shorter. Otherwise not many complaints.

They don't even answer the phone.

What a terrible place. The sad thing is they act like this is a real golf course.

Long waits

We haven’t played this course for 2 years for the simple fact that they were stacking tee times on top of tee times and you had to wait sometimes as long as 10 minutes to tee off due to all the groups in front of you. This happened again on Sunday. EVERY SINGLE TEE BOX ! We had to wait 5-10 minutes to tee off. Sometimes waiting for our second shot so everyone could clear off the green. They need a Marshall , took just under 5 hours to play. The greens looked great and the fairways were decent. The staff is always friendly but the wait time on the course is terrible.

Poor tee times and no water

I do enjoy this course. I was however disappointed as always how they just pile as many people on the course as possible. They’ve never cared about customer experience from a pace of play standpoint.

Who doesn’t have water jugs on a course when it’s 95 outside?

Better than a couple months ago

The fairways and greens were a lot better than early on in the season. They are still trying to make improvements to the tee boxes which make it kind of annoying but overall great for the price.

Where Are the Red tee boxes?

Course is not female friendly. On about half the holes I did see red blocks that looked like they had just been dropped hap-hazzardly onto the course. Am wondering if this is an effort to discourage women from playing the course. Apart from this, the front 9 was in good shape, back 9 needs some work & is very difficult. Haven't played the course for several years and I was disappointed. Staff, however, were very nice and accommodating. Love seeing all the 4-legged critters at the club house and the deer on the course.

7/10

Greens were pretty tore up, especially par 3s - Fairways were ok for the most part except one fairway had a giant mud patch/rut/ditch and I've never seen a course with anything like that going on

Great shape

The tees were in better condition than I remember. The greens were in good shape and putted true. The fairways and rough were mowed. Our group was behind a foursome and still finished in under 4 hours. Overall a fun round.

Really nice course with a couple surprises

Staff is professional and very friendly. Fairways and greens are well kept and most of the tee boxes are what they should be. The surrounding grounds are also taken care of and very pleasant. I think most players will find 12 & 13 to be really fun and challenging, they are my 2 favorites. The couple things I feel need some attention would be cart path maintenance/ improvements and hole designation plaques/markers at the tee boxes (they don't exist).
Overall I feel this is a decent course worth the fees but I am far from an expert. I think there is a high enough challenge for the experienced golfer and still offers accessibility to beginners and casual players (which is where I classify myself). I like to play as many different courses as I can but Paradise Valley is on my list of repeat courses.
