Welcoming

I have played here before. There is a lot going on. Range was closed. West course has construction going on and east course that is open has some wrong yardages. I would come back because the staff is GREAT and very welcoming even though it was 115. Sadly, the west side of Arizona has taken a hit golf wise. Courses closing early or under construction. Used to be four 18-hole courses in the area that were open most of the day and they are down to this one currently. Thank the golf gods for that.

Take your business to another course!

I should clarify that I tried to play yesterday! Turned away at 2pm on a Saturday! And there were others that were turned away. This course closes early on the longest days of the year and the staff is a bit pompous and arrogant. I decided to give it a try again after 8 years, and I live on the course. Also, the small restaurant is completely closed for the summer. Take your business somewhere else. Look at reviews on other sites to tell the story as well.

Another seasonal course bites the dust.

While I did not care for the course it's another example of a course in golf rich Arizona that either shut down early or closed during the longest days of the year. Poof, gone. When is the golf industry going to get it into their heads that seasonal courses and closing early in the summer does not work!

Sad to see it go.

It WAS a nice little 9 hole but, SEASONAL GOLF COURSES DON'T WORK IN A GOLF RICH 365 day a year environment.

Still closing early?

I tried to play this course last summer in the afternoon. ANOTHER course closing early during the longest days of the year! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! This early closing by courses in one of the most golf rich states in the country has to end!

Course Closes Early

Tried to play this course last summer for the second time and they closed early! NOT the case a few years earlier. But I see they are still pulling this. Take your money to a course that actually stays open the whole day.

Bravo!

I played this course about a month ago and I have to say it was in far better shape than some others in the east valley. Plenty of grass on the fairways and no problem getting a late round in. They do shut down on Monday and Tuesday after mid morning but I had no issues on a late summer round on a weekend. Staff was very accommodating and appreciative. I'll be back since Johnson Ranch , Poston Butte ,Las Colinas and Apache Creek have all decided to close early in the summer.

Closing Early

This closing early nonsense during the summer is becoming an epidemic in the valley. I purchased their summer card (which also covers Apache Creek). I have done this before. NEVER AGAIN! They never indicated that after 4:30pm you can only play 9. Are you kidding??!! THIS IS SUMMER!! Folks reading this...DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CARD. Also, the course conditions have declined to almost an unplayable condition mostly in regards to the fairways. What a shame. This WAS the most enjoyable course to fit your game that you could ever ask for. Members have to be livid.
