The Nicklaus Design Course at Vidanta Puerto Penasco
Played On 05/16/2023ABSOLUTE GEM
First a shout out to Charlie the bag drop guy.. Always smiling, friendly, and helpful.. Beautiful course and condition. Anyone reading this move up one tee box from your normal. Between the constant wind from the ocean and lush fairways some of the holes can be very long..I’ve been golfing 42 years and this course has some of the best view holes u will find anywhere.. Enjoy!
PS reminder proshop is inside of resort instead of at course because of major storm damage. Need to check in there.
Raven Golf Club - Phoenix
Played On 06/03/2018Rarely write reviews but well deserved
I'm hard to impress but this time a year when nearly every course is struggling because of transition, heat, water, ect, the Raven was in what I call hard to believe shape. i couldn't find brown spots or thin spots. Tee boxes and fairways were great. The greens and around the greens were impeccable. I understand everyone is looking for the killer summer deal but spend the little extra here. The condition warrants it. This was only my 2nd time but I'll be back.
The Nicklaus Design Course at Vidanta Puerto Penasco
Played On 05/03/2018A MUST PLAY
First off I have to say the course is a must play. We played this course twice. It was our First visit to rocky point for wife and I. We stayed at the grand mayan(also incredible) and our room was on the 15th hole of the course. They shuttled us over and the enjoyment began. The bag drop guys, Jose and Sergio, were very nice and got us set up on the cart. Checked in at pro shop. There is a six dollar each extra Mexico tax charge but course is well worth it. Wife and I teed off in 25mph winds. Best advice I can give is pick the appropriate tee boxes. Course can be tough especially throwing in the wind. I see, as I am in the golf business in Phoenix, way too many people play the wrong tees then complain the course is tough. This Nicklaus course is lush so don't plan on much roll on your tee shots. Now to the course. Everything was manicured. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were plush. So many great holes not even counting the Ocean side holes that are so scenic. I would definitely play the course twice. There are a few blind holes and a few holes you are not sure on distance of hazards off tee box. I played one tee box up from the tips. The course is very challenging from there which is what I like. My wife played the senior tees which are by the ladies and the course is much easier from there. After our round we had a delicious lunch on the deck which had another great view. Final note: I have been golfing for over 37 years and played all over(Scotland, Hawaii, ect) and this course is in my Top 3 not counting the great value. The views are incredible, but again just make sure u pick the appropriate tee boxes so u can enjoy this course to the fullest.
Foothills Golf Club
Played On 03/03/2017FOOTHILLS IS BACK
The golf course condition of the foothills is finally back. Always enjoyed the layout with the mountain views and happy to see they got that water issue fixed. The course is responding and returning to the nice shape it used to be in. Great value, my only complaint is some of the bunkers are little rough. Will definitely be back.
