Course has finally come into great condition after major renovations have been completed last year. As with most Sun City courses, the greens are where the challenges are. Particular pin placements can make for almost guaranteed 3 putts, which makes knowing your putting skills better be on par to score well. From tee to green, course has developed back to its wonderful shape prior to the renovation. Great course for the now high winter prices. At $42.00, it's hard to find a course in this price range, in this condition & time of year, anywhere. Well worth the trip!

Great Sun City, Arizona course. Most players are members or Sun City residents. Greens run moderately quick, fair variety of challenging holes (won't beat you up), friendly staff, & best of all, excellent price for peak winter pricing. If you're on the west side of the valley, give it try. For the money, it's worth the trip.

Absolute must play if in the Palm Desert area. Hard to believe this is a municipal course. Played the "friendlier" of the two courses (Firecliff being the "players" course.) Conditions were phenomenal for being late June, staff friendly & amenities were top notch. Will definitely return when plans allow.

As other reviewers had stated, this is really a hidden gem of a golf course. Somewhat similar to Quintero in the Northwest valley in layout, but much more playable for all skill levels. Greens had been recently aerated, so putts were somewhat slow. Fairways were in great shape for late June ( a few dry spots here & there) & the rough was also in great condition. A tough, but fair course. For those that are local to Phoenix, a great chance to play a really great course for a great price. Make the drive, you won't be disappointed!

Great condition for being an AZ course in August. From tee to green, conditions couldn't be better. Round played quickly just over 3 hours for our twosome. Fun track!

As with all of the Sun City West courses, Echo Mesa is a great executive course now open to the public Yardage from the blue tees is listed at 4147. With 6 par 4's & 12 par 3's, you do have the ability to use all clubs in the bag. The longest par 3's are listed at 210, 215 & 235! With it's flat tee boxes, well groomed fairways & great greens, play here was a steal at the "Hot Deal" price of $12 dollars!
