great potential but...

The worst sand traps I have ever played. Impossible to play a competitive round because sand traps by greens are like concrete. just horrible and there were also puddles of water in many of the traps. Avoid this course if you can.

great potential but...

the course is laid out well with lots of potential but upkeep a real issue. especially green side bunkers which are almost universally rock hard and almost impossible to play properly onto the green. looks like course owners are milking the place for profits.

mc ranch has potential BUT...

course is well laid out and has good practice areas BUT some key things on both courses need dramatic improvements. i would especially note the extremely poor condition of the sand traps. some of the worst ever with rock hard lies in green side bunkers which is totally unacceptable. this has been a major problem for a long time and owners/mngt/ground crews refuse to fix apparently. the "edges" of the course also need work...ie tee boxes, paths, area by maintence sheds etc are very poorly maintained.

this course need work before tourist season!!!

Ambiente at Camelback resort has a lot of promise but current conditions are very bad. VERY bad. Fairways are barely acceptable but all areas saround greens are in horrible condition. the sand traps are very inconsistent--some are ok but many others have a concrete type feel just below surface so that there is no way to play ball out in a traditional manner.

Course has potential...but

Great potential generally speaking but the "edges" and details leave alot to be desired. Lots of bare patchs, traps horrible, signature 15th hole on pine course smells like open garbage at tee box. Has unfulfilled potential but...

wildfire good but not as good as usual

somewhat unorganized at drop off/1st tee area. also, help a little less than polite. course conditions were ok but not as good as usual---edges around greens etc were a little barren/burned out. not nearly as nice as around when ladies play their tournament

karsten needs some course conditioning

such a well designed course....too bad the mangt and grounds crew seems to be letting the place go around the edges. rough is very uneven, the traps are in horrible shape, and the golf carts are some of the worst around. also, there is no distance finder on the carts and the course itself is very poorly marked for distances given that fact. the power plant noise in the background is deafening and combined with the airplanes overhead from sky harbor it is not a very relaxing atmospher....like playing in the middle of a city.

not nice when courses dont post overseeding alert prior to booking

i think it ought to be required that all courses post dramatic changes in conditions prior to letting folks book times. there is not a price low enough if the greens are unputtable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catastrophic slow play at Stone Creek!

we played a 5 1/2 hour round yesterday!!! very poor conditions as well. beware of the over booking nightmare that tends to haunt this course on a fairly regular basis.

New Camelback Ambiente very dissapointing!!!

the course was "redone" 2years ago. tons of trees taken out and a poor attempt at Links golf instead. the rough is nothing but tons and tons of weeds and it was very disappointing that nothing was fixed over the summer. if I was paying $100 plus to look at mud, weeds, no chance at all of finding any ball that even goes a few inches off fairway then you will like this course.

looks good but a little rough around the edges

kind of a funky layout with 3 9 hole courses that weave back and forth through each other. there is very limited yardage markings AND no electronics on cart that make for very slow play if you don't have your own equipment to measure with. pretty tough. the water holes have pretty dirty water and on the signature 18th the water is filthy AND it smells bad. greens were not bad for june...watch out and call ahead as they will be aerrating soon.

rough around the edges at biltmore

not a bad course but the "edges"...cart paths, litter, etc make the setting very average. patchy areas in fairways etc also take away from the experience. the cart staging area was dirty...needs to be hosed down. the ice machine was broken for glasses of water....should always be a top priority in the heat and dryness!!
