Bunkers

I know bunkers are a hazard but if I had one complaint it was condition of the bunkers. I thought they were getting ready for winter golf but the guys I played with said no they are always this condition. That being said I really enjoyed the course.

Beautiful views

Really enjoyed the 3 players I was joined up with to play. Enjoyed the views & the layout but thought the course was in rough shape especially the greens. Very bumpy & slow. The fairways had many dirt spots where I had to move my ball. Maybe it has not fully grown in from the winter grass transition? The staff were very friendly.

If you booked the tee time through our website or by calling us, you were notified of our greens aerification. I have just sent a note to GolfNow to notify anyone booking through them to let them know of the green aerification.

Long drive from Scottsdale

But worth it. The only complaint was the howling wind. The whole course was in excellent condition. 17 took me back to PGA West Island green. Will play it again..

3 Putt

You better bring your Putting A game to this course. Check that Chipping A game errrr Iron A game. I thought Quintero had tough greens, this course is a monster. Typical Nicklas design with generous landing area off the tee but after that hang on. Clubhouse still under construction but the course was really good shape for just opening up. Will definitely want to tackle it again. Only problem was finding it as my Garmin GPS couldn't find it.

Boulders North

Even though they are getting ready to over seed the course it was very good condition. Like most courses the bunkers needed work & golfers still don't think they leave ball marks. Always enjoy the challenge & sights at the Boulders. Staff was very friendly.

Always enjoy

playing this course. The front nine is pretty straight forward but the back nine takes a little thinking. I think it was Hole 14 white tee off block needs to be level off, definitely helps you draw the ball which is the required shot. The course was in excellent shape, the surrounding views awesome & the staff some of the most polite in the valley.

Views

The only thing that really stood out today was the views of the Superstition Mountains. I could not tell you which hole would be the signature one. Some OK Par 3's. Lots of courses closer to me that I would play for about the same money.

Smoking deal

got there early & joined T who was also a Golf Now player. They let us t off early as a twosome as it was not busy. The course was in great shape & the groups in front of us were totally cool & let us play through. We completed the round in 3 hours. Great test of golf playing the copper/ silver combo.

Wore pink shirt in honour of my Mom & Arnie

Great practise area to get your round started. Course was in excellent shape, surprising not many pitch marks so must players must care. Played the White / Blue combo at around 6300 yards, must have been the right tees as a 11 handicap who averages 225 off the tee, shot a 79. Always enjoy a course that makes you think about each shot, used most of my clubs in the bag.

Hidden Oasis

Second time playing the course and was in great shape. Has the feel of a private club, out door patio over looking water complex, 18 hole putt putt course, nice practise area. The members are very friendly & staff too. Played the white blue combo at around 6300 yards, as a 11 handicap shot a 83 so picked the right tees. Good mix of holes, don't need driver on every hole unless your a bomber. Greens roll great & are very tricky. Great mountain back drop views. All in all a nice track to play.

Can't wait to play again

As ski season is ending, I look forward to heading to Scottsdale & play my favourite course in the area. The staff are always smiling when I arrive & if you forgot something, the Pro Shop is well stocked. Get there early as it is a drive to the impeccable practise area. Put your ego in your pocket & pick the right tees that way you will enjoy your day but also keep up with pace of play. I have played over 45 different Public courses in the Phoenix area & this one has by far the best set of Par 3's ! As far as the rest of the course goes , you will get to use all your clubs in your bag. Now the bent grass greens .... Fast & tricky ... PLEASE repair at least 2 ball marks to keep them smooth. Finish your day off with a cold one. Trust me the drive is worth it!!

Friendly membership

My son & I had a 2PM Tee time but arrived early knowing it would be tight to finish before sunset. The starter arranged to have us play the Ranch course & we were able to go right away! Even though recently opened after over seeding, the course was in great shape, including the bunkers. It was tough concentrating with the beautiful back drop views, the course was challenging but fair. The most enjoyable thing of the whole day, was how friendly the members were to us! You felt really welcomed & not as an invader. I will be going back for sure!

Won't kill you with length

Got a smoking deal as they are getting ready to over seed. Greens rolled way faster than they looked. Some shorter holes which makes you think off the tee. Nice bunkering but as most courses needs some more sand.Nice views of Mc Dowell Mountains. Joined up with another guy, we were done 18 in 2hrs 15 mins ran into a foursome on 10 & they let us play through ... Thxs guys.

Walked

The 2 hour drive out was worth it

Played a We Ko Pa style course for $10 ... well maybe the Tee blocks need some work & there are few other imperfections but a diamond in the rough. Picking the right Tees will make the round more enjoyable as there is some good carries & blind doglegs which the GPS really helps. Hole 7 is the toughest hole on the course. I will be back. There is a casino & RV park there so you can stay a couple days & have some fun.

Fairly forgiving course

but with some strong Par3's & 5's from the blue tees. The course was in excellent shape & was great value for the money. Hole 16 was definitely the #1 rated hole, a long Par 4 into the wind with a sloping green back to front. Staff were really friendly. Great course for a warm up round if you haven't played in a while.

Try to play with

someone who has played the course before. Thanks to Rick & Linda who let me join them & helped with T shot direction & club to use. Some very tricky holes & dispite the drought you can see that with water instead of dried up areas, a tough & beautiful layout.

Beauty!

Great layout with a great mix of hole difficulty. Almost like we had the course to ourselves. If you are a RV er stay right at the casino park. Washroom had marble counters & tiled showers... beautiful & clean. The course is a half mile away. Drove 40 mins & played Chambers Bay.. another beauty!
