We played The Ridge course today after The Predator course yesterday. The whole operation of both courses is first class, excellent range, staff and pro shop. I preferred the Ridge course to the Predator personally - nicer views, more interesting holes. We got a ‘hot deal’ on both courses through Golf Now - essentially twilight rates. Today’s Ridge experience w a 3:10 t-time had us golfing the last 2 holes in dark conditions after very slow play by groups ahead were not at all concerned to move along so groups behind could finish. We played a 4hr 45min round, and had 3 groups stacked up on the par 3’s - with little concern by the marshal despite us mentioning it.
Predator course was also fun and spectacular. Speed of play yesterday was very good.
Overall - highly recommended, excellent experiences!

We play this course every year on our circuit of Victoria area courses. We really enjoy the course layout. The elevation changes makes for an excellent walk and exercise and the nature views are great. Conditions were a bit soggy on a couple of holes, but not that bad really. Really appreciate the courtesy power carts at the end to drive back uphill to the club house!

If you want a short, quick game this course should deliver, but the pace of play (albeit Thanksgiving Day!) was slow. It’s fun for the occasional golfer, yet still demands accuracy from the experienced golfer. Greens were in good shape, but rest was dry. We had a mixed group of everything from new golfer to experienced; so it suited us just fine!

This course is marvelous!
First, for golfers of all levels it can be enjoyable and appropriately challenging based on the tees you play from. Greens were super fast and a bit tricky. Holes had some good design and use of the land.
Of course, this is Sedona; and there are amazing red rock views on almost every hole.
The Par 3 13th hole is really cool!

Lots of history to this course - leave time before or after for a meal/drink/tea at the Royal Montrose Mercantile Club. The course was in great shape. Although some of the fairways were wide, this course was far from easy! Lots of bumps and rolls, trees and bramble bushes and of course, deep bunkers. A little disconcerting, are several tee-boxes for the next hole situated right beside the green of the last hole, causing you to wait to hit-up to the green. That said, a good experience.

Wonderful views on the rugged N/E coastline of Scotland straddling the Uplands and Lowlands dividing line. Lots of up and down holes to give you a good workout and test your golfing acumen!
We had terrific weather with light winds.
Fairways were well groomed, greens good but a bit slow - which most of the time was appreciated!
Highly recommended from a 13 handicap guy and 21 handicap woman!

This is great course - Black T’s 6640yds; Blue’s 6200; mature trees, good variability of landscape, sand traps have good sand, a few water holes, grass, greens and whole course is in the Best Condition of all the other courses I played this week in the area.
A couple of holes are narrow and can play into each other, otherwise some good variety. Staff is terrific - they are really trying to bring this back to top condition. I would play this course regularly if I lived here.

This was an OK course. The best thing was the other couple we were matched up with. Great people and fun golfing together. Otherwise, nothing special about the course.
Fairways in good condition; cart paths terrible; greens OK/slow. I wouldn’t drive all the way out of town to play it again; but if you can get a special deal under $50 go for it.

Fairways and greens in excellent condition. Greens very fast! Overall the course is in good condition. Not an overly challenging course but some different challenges along them way including an island green.

First time playing Oak Creek; lovely course, great condition for February. Played the late afternoon 9-hole deal; very reasonable price for a course of this quality.

My wife (25 handicap) and I (16 handicap) both love this course! Lots of water to make things interesting, excellent conditions, their carts and green poles have all the elements you would expect. This was our 4time in the last 6mo to play here. Never disappointed.

Beautiful course; lots of water to keep the challenge up but also manageable for less skilled golfers. Conditions excellent for overseeding season. Blue course was excellent; White course was fairly good but a little behind the blue; we did not play the Gold 9.
We will definitely come back here - and the price was also terrific! Don’t miss this course when visiting Scottsdale-Phoenix area.

This is a great course. Definitely older/well established but still challenging and in terrific condition. Local crocodiles, iguanas, birds and other wildlife keep things interesting.if you have trouble with ‘control’ of your shots you are going to lose a fair number of balls - there are some narrow spots, hazards and need to ‘place’ your shots. Island greens surrounded by crocodile lagoons keep things interesting! Not sure it’s worth ‘full price’ but definitely worth a GolfNow discounted price!

I played the Palm today, and the Pine course last week. Both were in terrific shape despite being overseeded. Fairways were in excellent condition as were the greens. The Palm plays a bit more challenging and longer than the Pines.

I would definitely recommend both courses and will return myself. My wife played w me last week on the Pines and she liked/will return as well.

My wife and I played this on the weekend, and despite being a busy course the pace was good and the course was in excellent condition despite being overseeded. Fairways were in great condition and the greens were also quite good.
Both my wife and I will return and we would definitely recommend.

This course has great variety - the best holes from Nicklaus courses around the world. I played just after 3week closure at end of summer and with top dressing still; however it was still great. Lots to challenge an experienced golfer, forgiving enough for an intermediate golfer. Homes surrounding the course are far enough away to not cause any concern (unlike some other courses in the area where you feel you could easily hit someone's window). I would definitely play again and bring my hard-to-impress friends! Impressive views of the mountains and desert landscape in the area!

Staff friendly; very basic course.
Was early season but still very bogey, fairways are just fields.
A bit better than a driving range!

Terrific course, well laid out along the aqueducts of Scottsdale. Fairways & greens were in excellent condition. Played with my wife, both enjoyed it - Good for all levels!

If coming to Scottsdale on vacation, this is a good course to play first, get your game back together. Forgiving, fun, great value!

Lovely course; enjoyable layout, beautiful surroundings. You need a combo of smart play and some long drives!
