Pleasant surprise

I booked a Hot Deal on the day I played not sure of the kind of course I was in for and was pleasantly surprised! Everything from the music playing around the clubhouse and the speakers installed on the carts that you can blue tooth from your phone to the fabulous and very friendly staff it was a very pleasant surprise! The greens were fast but true and course layout was a good challenge to all levels of golfers in our group. The tee boxes were a little chewed up but that was no issue when considering everything else. I will definitely play Dobson Ranch again and will advise it to friends. Our round was 4hrs and 15 min

Play early

I played the course at 9:00am and think that is the secret to playing this hidden gem. The reviews I read before my round stated that it was a five plus hour round and because of that I booked early and played in 3hrs and 10 min. The course though wide open has a green side bunker that almost always was between my ball and the flag which lead to either attacking the flag or bail out which is great. Be as aggressive as you want which is all I could ask. The course is as wet as others noted so. I confirmed a lift clean and place game with my buddy that worked out well. The houses surrounding the course are beautiful and worth the visit themselves. All in all I would recommend this course to friends.

Too much water!

Love to get out and play Silverado as it is a fun course to hone your skills at and the staff are terrific. You need to have a couple of ball and club cleaning towels with you at all times as they over water the course. If you hit a high ball you can expect to be searching for it as it will either be plugged on the fairway or will be sitting there with a large chunk of dirt attached to it. I have never really seen this as bad in the past and hope they make some changes soon.

Poor conditions

As usual McCormick Ranch was a disappointment once Christmas was finished. The rates go up and the conditions deteriorate. I will wait until they water the entire course once again before I come back. Save your money and play elsewhere.

Greens were recently punched.

If you see a special Hot Deal for the Boulders club these days there is a good chance they just punched the greens. I experienced that this week and although the greens were just done the rest of the course is in terrific shape. With it being 100 degrees it would have been nice to see the cart girl more than once in my round. All in all a great and challenging track.

A terrific golf course

I had a friend play the Wildfire Faldo course and he raved about it and when I saw the deal on golf now I took advantage and played the Palmer course. What a great experience. Everything from the practice facility to the friendly staff through to the course were first class!! I can’t wait to try out the Faldo track now.

Terrific golf experience

Even with the long drive from the Scottsdale area the golf experience was well worth it. From the time you step out of your car to the drinks and dinner after the round the service you receive is first class. The course itself is in terrific shape and the greens while large are a reach challenge and demand you A game. Very good bang for the buck!

Love this golf course

I had a chance to play Red Mountain for the first time after many years of wanting to play it when it was a private course. It is a typical Pete Dye course which challenges and rewards you for good shots and makes you regret your mistakes. Make sure to bring a confident putting stroke as the greens are small and undulating and I am sure the groundskeeper was upset on the day we played as the pin placements were outright mean....lol. All in all my long term desires were fulfilled and I look forward to playing the course once again soon.

Nice course but brutal driving range

Had a chance to play the Palm course at McCormick Ranch and enjoyed the course layout and condition but was really disappointed in the condition of the driving range. It did not have any grass to hit from which if I just wanted to simulate sand shots would be great but for a driving range it was unacceptable.

Good value

I was limited in time and only could play 9 before a trip to the airport. We booked the day of and found Starfire a perfect fit for time and value. We played a quick round with another like minded couple and enjoyed the course layout and the staffs friendliness. I will definitely play here again and try the 18 hole regular course.

Disappointed

Our tee time was the same weekend as the Waste Management tournament and we expected it to be busy but this took delays to a whole new level. We did not see one course marshal or cart girl and had two to three groups on every tee box. The course itself was nice but the overcrowding overshadowed our experience.
We also took out the new golf boards they were offering and had to bring in both due to the the the battery drainage. When we asked the support staff about it they told us they were not instructed on any aspect of the units.
All in all our group will not be recommending this course to others.
