I have played this course a half dozen times before (all thru GolfNow Hot Deals), but this time when showing up at 11:30 am (an hour before our tee time), my playing partners and I were told we would have to "sit tight until our tee time". Now the course was not full...and this is Phoenix in the summer!! I typically show up 30-45 min early and have very rarely have had to wait to tee off during the summer...and I play twice a week. I am not sure if it was because we had a GolfNow Hot Deal, but another player (who also held a Hot Deal tee time just before ours) said the guy in the clubhouse was just "being a pr!ck", and has done this to him before. I had checked the tee sheet on GolfNow before we went to the course, and saw only two booked tee times in the hour before ours (and we saw them at the practice green). We patiently waited.....for almost an hour.....during which a couple of groups came in and teed off (apparently they were walk ins)...but there were times when nobody was on the first tee.. This really left a sour taste on the experience and we are reluctant to book there again...and we like the course. But holding us up was really unnecessary.
