Conestoga Golf Club
Played On 05/29/2018Perfect conditioning
Extremely impressed. Fairways were great, course layout is great. Can’t wait to go back
The Stadium Course at PGA WEST
Played On 06/13/2017Comditioned well
This is the 2nd time I have played the course, I played because my playing partner had not played it before. The course to me is a little bit all the same, the holes are all a bit boring really, water carry par 3's and targeted par 4's but, that's a stadium course for you.
The course was conditioned pretty well although there were quite a few wet spots around in the fairways with little grass growth, summer right !
The thing that stuck out this time was the lack of service one you arrived in the car park, no bag drop, no one to arrange your clubs on carts. As we finished loading up out cart to go into the pro shop a guy drove past in a cart and said the first tee is over there. That was it. Disappointing.
Escena Golf Club
Played On 12/11/2016Be prepared to play fast
There was a group pull out before us so we were told we had to go 20 minutes before our tee time, as we were about to tee off, a group of 3 showed up told the starter they were early and wanted to go. They pushed us all day and hit up on us 3 times, we couldn't go anywhere, neither could the group in front of us. Perhaps not the fault of the club but not good overall.
After we finished we wanted a nice beer in the clubhouse, as we entered a staff member came racing up and told us they were shut. 3pm on a Sunday. At this point there were 12 people finished and looking for a drink after golf. Surely they don't have so much money that they want to push business away ?
The time the clubhouse closed was posted in big letters on the door at 6pm.
Course good, mamangement of players, no so good, hospitality at best described as ordinary.
PGA WEST Greg Norman Course
Played On 12/11/2016Loved it
First time for the Greg Norman Course, couldn't find it on the sat nav, got there a little late, pro shop staff rushed us to the tee, perhaps not their fault, felt a little flustered.
At the first tee we were told it was carts on paths, no mention of this on Golf Now, now flustered, rushed and disappointed.
Great condition, great layout.
At 5pm, the whole place locks up tighter than Fort Knox, don't expect a drink after 4:45
PGA WEST Pete Dye Dunes Course
Played On 12/10/2016Good value for money
The staff were great, the course was a little dry and a little patchy in places but it wasn't $100 to play either. They had a wedding scheduled that day so at the end of our round we were shuffled to the car park. A little disappointing.
Shadow Ridge Golf Club
Played On 08/03/2016Great layout
I liked the golf course and could see that if you are hitting your irons well you can score well.
The only issue I had was no where on golf now, or at the course did anyone tell us that 5 holes were ripped up through the fairways, it was a massive oversight or maybe done on purpose.
Was a very big disappointment from Shadow Ridge staff.
Oakcreek Country Club
Played On 09/15/2015Worth the drive
We drove up from PHX as a 2 and were paired up with a single. Afternoon rate of around $40 was reasonable value. There was quite a few groups around in the afternoon yet no beverage cart, that was disappointing..
Course was in very good condition, played the tees 1 forward from the back, blue I think, some of the holes were short so maybe the tips are a better option. 2 par 5's that you can't use a driver because of trees hanging over was also enough to make me think why this stuff happens.
Great course for straight hitters and target players.
Hi Bradpwm,
Thank you for playing at Oakcreek Country Club! We are honored to have a golfer visit us from Australia! You have provided some great advice for first time golfers that may have never played our course.
We hope you will be back to see us again soon.
Best Wishes,
Oakcreek Country Club Management
TPC Scottsdale - The Champions Course
Played On 09/08/2015Maybe better than its big brother
Second time I have played there after a few years in between. Great golf course in great condition, we played as a two and pace of play was good, beverage cart went missing for a while which was a little disappointing.
The starter was good although we felt a little rushed early.
Orange Tree Golf & Conference Resort
Played On 09/07/2015Old style course
Not a bad golf course for the green fee, I think we paid around $20 including a cart. It's not Troon North by any stretch but it has some great golf holes, especially the par 3's.
Wigwam Resort - Gold Course
Played On 09/05/2015Left wanting more
We arrived to find out the course had just reopened, usually not a bad thing and the pro shop told us that there had been no play for 2 months on the course so it should be great. Well, the tee boxes were the highlight. The greens were bumpy and slow, imagine if there had been play in the last 2 months. Not sure why they would open a course for play when the bunkers are still being shaped and there is new sod just laid that you need to drop from. The course layout and holes were good and when finished I am sure you won't be disappointed but sadly, I can't help feeling let down which makes me think twice about returning
They told you the course condition prior to teeing off, and gave you a bounce back certificate. 0-4 handicap? LOL...yeah right.
Whirlwind Golf Club - The Devil's Claw Course
Played On 09/04/2015Desert Golf
As usual, the course presented well and the playing surfaces were quite good although the the greens were slow.
Very happy to have played there again and the bar staff were welcoming.
Camelback Golf Club - Ambiente Course
Played On 09/03/2015Better than expected
Had looked at this course for some time and read reviews about the remodel. Was pleasantly surprised that how good the course was in design and the quality of the surfaces. From the tips the back 9 gets very long
Thank you for your review of the Ambiente course. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the new design!
Golf Club of Estrella
Played On 08/10/2014Great Condition for Summer
Played with their package deal of a sleeve of balls and all day play. The staff from the bag drop to the bar were great.
Quintero Golf Club
Played On 08/09/2014Long drive but worth it
Took a long time to get there from Mesa but the course was worth it, they seem to have run out of money as they have temporary clubhouse facilities and from there it takes 5 minutes in a cart to get to the first tee. If you aren't on your game it's a golf course that would be easy to have a lot. Overall a great day.
The Phoenician Golf Club
Played On 08/08/2014Good value
It's a resort course that plays pretty soft but it's good also. A yardage book would be an advantage as some of the desert 9 is unsighted from the tees
Eagle Mountain Golf Club
Played On 08/07/2014Great Course
Played at 8am before it got too hot, the course was in great condition for the time of the year despite the bare patches and some works on the fairways on the back 9. Will go again
ASU Karsten Golf Course
Played On 03/15/2014Not sure what they are trying to do
The number of players that were squeezed onto the golf course was unworkable. In a 3 we waited on every shot for 5+ hours.
I think apart from the numbers of players, the course is set up so the average player will have a lot. The fairways are narrow and the rough is so long you will lose a ball very easily. Been playing in AZ for many years, worst setup I have seen.
Championship at Moon Valley Country Club
Played On 03/14/2014Better than expected
I had some differing opinion about Moon Valley before we arrived. I found it to be a great course with great practice facilities. Staff in the pro shop were very good.
Indian Wells Golf Resort - Players Course
Played On 09/04/2013Always a great day
The course was in great shape despite the weather that has hit Palm Springs recently.
Ocotillo Golf Club - White/Gold
Played On 8/27/2013Very wet
Staff in the pro shop were very helpful. Drinks cart not so much but not rude. Couldn't get over how wet the course was.
Would return.
Hi Bradpwm, we appreciate the shout out and look forward to your next round. - Ryan S.
