Beauty and Challenging

This is a gorgeous golf course. It is very challenging with water hazards on several holes. If you play from the forward tees it is less intimidating. You have to play here a few times to know where you should lay up. Overall scenery is very beautiful and course is in great shape.

More difficult than you think

With most greens guarded by sand bunkers you have to be very accurate with the approach shot. Very nice scenery to look at around the course. Some beautiful water features, palm trees and mountains in the background. This makes you forget about the wayward shots and enjoy the awesome desert. Course was in decent shape, but greens are very slow. The fairways are very close to each other and occasionally balls come flying from other fairways. Also, the cart paths are hard to find around the greens and you end up going up the wrong side of the green to the next hole. Could use better signage.

Pin placement unforgiving!

We have played this course many times. The last couple times we found that the pins were placed in the most unforgiving spots on the greens on almost every hole! Honestly only a few feet from the very edges, and on very steep slopes, either at the very back or the very front. It was totally impossible to leave the putt close to the hole. Very frustrating. This is such a beautiful course but could be more user friendly. There are a lot of challenges with deep sand traps and water to carry over on some par 3’s. The scenery is gorgeous with large trees lining the fairways and lush grass throughout the course. Flat layout, but most hole have elevated greens guarded by deep bunkers. Challenging for any level player.

Will look beautiful in a few more years

Played the west course. Right now there are houses being built all around the course, once the developing is completed it will definitely be a beautiful place. The course is in great shape fairway to green . Pace of play was good, we were a twosome sandwiched between foursomed and still did it in four hours .

Always a pleasure

This is one of the best golf courses we choose to play at. We played the Red course this time. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and willing to help. The practice area is one of the best! Balls are provided with the green fee giving you the opportunity to warm up before your round. The course is in great condition. Greens are large but fast. You can land short and still roll a long way. Pace of play was very good. All in all a great experience. Will be back there tomottow to play the Blue course.

Very challenging

A beautiful course sitting in and among tons of rocks. Very hilly with some blind landing areas. You have to be accurate. We played when it was cart path only. It was very tiring with so much walking uphill and downhill throughout the whole course. There is long distances in between holes and the course runs through a housing development and sits lower than the houses so they are not a problem.. Greens are large, undulated and super fast. Be prepared to have a few 3 putts or more... Tees vary in distances so you have a choice. We were happy to play with someone who played there before as it is difficult to know where to go as the course is spread out over such a large rocky terrain. They also have great practice facilities, well stocked pro shop, and a food bar with outdoor sitting area overlooking the beautiful 18th hole. The staff is very friendly and offer guides to escort you to first tee.

A good place to golf

Course is in fairly good shape, some challenging holes with water hazards along the fairways. We were paired with a couple of golfers who played there before so we got some advice on where to land the ball to avoid trouble. Course was not too busy as it was pretty cold so we played in 3 1/2 hours. We enjoyed the layout and will be returning to this course.

Not the best course in the area

After playing several rounds at various courses in the area, this one is not in the best condition. Fairways are hard and dry. The bunkers have minimal sand and are full of small rocks. No one even bothers to rake.. the layout is very nice and a lot of fairways are on sidehills. You have to know where to land or you can end up in a lake or desert area. Some roughs along the fairways are so long you can’t find your ball. Definitely in need of some TLC.

Enjoyable round.

There are three nine hole courses to play. We got the West and the North courses. The West is new and a little far from the club house having to go through a construction area and the path os gravel. Once you get to the first tee, it is very well manicured and in great shape. A good layout and can offer you some challenge. We were lucky to play with a local golfer who knew the strategy and where to land away from trouble. Large and undulating greens with good pace. A very beautiful course among a residential area. The practice facilities are great! Balls not included in green fees. Very friendly staff. As a threesome, we completed our round in 3 and half hours. Very enjoyable!

We keep coming back!

Yes, this is a fairly easy to play course which provides many opportunities for pars and birdies making it very enjoyable. Having said that there are a number of very challenging par 3 holes where you must carry over water or there is a deep sand trap in front of the green. The course is beautifully manicured and the free use of the practice facilities prior to your round is very much appreciated. Staff members are very friendly and the on site restaurant has a good selection of item ps on the menu. Did I say we keep coming back?

Very enjoyable

Course is in good shape and can be very challenging with the rolling hills and steep bunkers very strategically placed giving you opportunities for some well planned shots into the greens. Greens are fast and undulated making the putts challenging ro make. Pace of play was very good. Overall a great experience. We will be bck.

We keep coming back!

We played the Red course again as this is one of our favourites in the valley. Lush grass everywhere, Well manicured, perfect greens, beautiful scenery with the large trees lining the fairways. Just can’t get any better! The Wigwam provides excellent practice facilities included in the green fees which is something one can take advantage of, especially after being away from golf for a couple of months, As a twosome we were able to play this course in three and a half hours as the threesome ahead of us were so courteous and let us play through. The staff were very friendly and we totally enjoyed our round.

Will be back

This course is always a favorite. Although par 70, you would think it would be easy, but there are several water hazards and many sand traps placed strategically where you can get in trouble. The greens are big and sloped providing challenging putts. The fairways are lush as well as everywhere else. You would not think you are on a desert course. There are lots of very large trees providing shade during the very hot weather. The pace of play was great as we were finished in 3 1/2 hours. Had a great day! Already booked another round.

Nice flat course

A good golf course to hone in your short game. Good selection of tee boxes for all levels. If you miss the greens with your approach you will have good opportunities to use your short game skills. Large greens with good roll. Fairways are well manicured with dormant grass along fairways. This provides challenges in getting a good lie. Situated in Sun City subdivision with large trees lining the fairways and ponds providing very nice scenery.

Beautiful Desert Views

This is a very well manicured course on the West side of Phoenix if you love desert scenery. It offers challenges for any level of golfer with a variety of tee boxes for everyone. Some holes have desert areas over which your ball has to carry to get to the fairway. The fairways are in great shape as well as the greens. Large greens with lots of undulations and some have multi levels which can either make you laugh or cry when you see the ball come rolling back farther than where you started from. You must definitely play this course more than once to get to know how to position your shots to the greens. The views from the higher tee boxes are spectacular! Very friendly staff. Refreshment cart comes by several times. The clubhouse and pro shop offer all amenities for your needs.

Love this course!

This course is so nice! Well manicured with lush carpet like fairways and large smooth rolling greens.. if you have not played this one yet, it should be on your list. The large trees lining up the fairways and some water features make the scenery so gorgeous! It is not too long for the average club golfers yet hold many challenges for the more accomplished players.
