Pace Too Slow - never saw a marshall

Only finished 15 holes due to darkness. Don’t fault the course for the hour frost delay, but we had 4 groups on both front side par 3’s and that should never happen.

5 Somes

Tee boxes and greens in very good condition. Fairways marginal. Good pace of play until I ran into two back to back fivesomes on 12th hole. Never saw a marshal. I’m ok with afternoon fivesomes but never in the morning

Front Nine Closed

GolfNow failed to indicate that only the back 9 was open. So you paid the full rate, finished the back 9 and new groups were now on the tee box and I had to get in a queue. So I quit and only played 9 holes. Very disappointed in GolfNow. It’s a long drive to The Duke to learn at the course only the back 9 is open

Coolers

Course conditions were good. Pace of play was very good. But this course has to be the only one in Phoenix area that doesn’t have coolers on the cart. It was 109 yesterday. Covid concerns are in the past. Put some coolers on the cart for heaven’s sake

Green speed a 5. Range open delayed

Slowest greens I’ve ever played. I was warned in the clubhouse but impossible to reach the pin on putts over 30 feet. On Mondays and Thursday’s, the range is closed for maintenance until ~9am. I’ve never heard or seen this in 50 years of golfing.

Greens Awful

I would not recommend anyone play this course until the greens actually have grass. On some greens, it was like putting on cement.

Bad Experience

The course allows fivesomes, which is all you need to know. If you want to wait on every shot, then give it a try. The 5th hole is a par 3 where you can't see the green. There were no marshalls to speed up play. Driving range and putting greens were closed. You had to park on a street. I won't ever play here again. Too many better options in Phoenix
