Course in great shape, but CPO from overseeding

Course was in great shape. Rough was long as they’ve been letting the new grass grow out. It was cart path only, and there were two groups in front of us that were terribly slow. Round was 4:45. No ranger to police pace on the back 9.

Great course, well kept, convenient location

Course had just reopened from overseeding, but was in great shape. It was cart path only, but the round kept about a 3:45 pace. Greens were a little slow. Staff always friendly, clubhouse and pro shop are great. Excellent location on Camelback Mountain makes it convenient to Scottsdale and downtown Phoenix.

A Scottsdale Staple

Course was in great shape. Tees, fairways, greens immaculate. Pace was a little slow, but did not detract from the experience. Staff was super friendly. I’ll be back tomorrow. Literally.

Nice Arnold Palmer design

Very nice experience. Everyone was super friendly, from the guard at the entry gate, to the staff in the shop, the starter, and even the members I was paired up with. As I understand it, the course had some renovations over the past two years, and the fairways and greens were subsequently immaculate. Plenty of tee boxes choices, for both long and short hitters. True to Palmer design, some fun risk reward holes out there. If in the Naples or Marco Island area, give this one a try.

Love this course, even with pinched greens

Course in great condition. Greens were a little slow, but understandable due to aeration. This is one of the prettiest and most fun courses in the Tampa/Brooksville area. The Marshall sitting at 16 could work on his friendliness. Otherwise another fun round at Rolling Oaks.

Fun Course in Great Shape

I always like to play Eagle Mountain when in Scottsdale. Course was in great shape, greens rolling pretty fast but fair. Layout is fun, with lots of mountain elevation changes and scenic tee shots. Views of the valley to the South are spectacular. If you haven't played here before, put it on your list. It's worth the trip. #18 is just awesome.

Poorly Managed Pace of Play

Had always heard great reviews of this course, but being in Mesa, it was out of the way for me. Decided to give it a try. Course in great condition. Greens were in good shape and fast. The course has a lot of blind shots, so can be tricky for a first timer. At least the front nine does. I never played the back because the front took 2:45. You read that right. The marshall, although nice, shrugged it off. The three members I was playing with did not. Two left after nine. I replayed the front with the third member, after consulting with the starter. The front nine the second time? 1:10. Nice conditions, but too long of a ride from Scottsdale or Phoenix to risk a 5+ hour round.

Solid Course, Great Greens

I played this course about 18 months ago for the first time and really enjoyed it. Was finally back in the area and couldn't pass up the opportunity to play again. Glad I did. Course was in good shape and the greens were in excellent condition. Very enjoyable and plan on making this a must-play whenever in the Palm Beach area.

Nice course. Beutiful neighborhoods.

First time playing Cheval. It was available on GolfNow, first time I had seen it available there. Always had heard good things about the course, and was not disappointed. Staff in the shop were super friendly. Course is a fun layout. Only issue was some of the greens had some dry spots. But otherwise very nice. Scenic course. I would absolutely recommend playing here for a fun round.

Interesting Course

Trying all the courses on GolfNow in the Tampa area, so I gave it a try. Interesting layout. Because of the tight space they are in with surrounding neighborhoods, there are some holes that run next to each other very closely. In one case, there is a tee box for one outgoing hole wedged between two greens for incoming shots. Had a ball land on the tee box as I was about to tee off. This course is short, but somehow the round took over 4.5 hours. The greens were running fast, but not in the best condition. The exception was the 18th hole, which was in stunningly perfect condition. The pin placements didn't help the pace of play, as they were predominantly located on slopes toward the front of the green. So you had to be below the hole if you wanted a shot at birdie. I get that with a short course one defense is sloped greens, but keep in mind the ability of players and pace of play. I am going to guess that three-putting was a likely contributor to the slow play. I will likely not be back. Sorry guys.

Glad this is an option on GolfNow

I was looking for a new course to play in the Tampa area. Saw this course on the list in GolfNow and didn't recall seeing it there before. So I checked the reviews. All positive, but it looked like they had just become part of the network again after about a hiatus. So I booked a tee time. Glad I did. This is a fun course. Challenging layout for its length, with lots of dog legs, and some tight fairways. Fortunately I was paired with some members who were kind in providing lines for tee shots. Greens were in excellent condition and good speed. Fair pin placements and no crab grass or rot on the greens. Overall, I was really pleased. I will be back to this course.

Good value, friendly course

First time playing this course. Staff was friendly, rangers really nice. No real surprises on this course. Greens well maintained. Some long par 5s. Overall, a pretty straight forward course. Some risk/reward holes: an example is #1 take long over the left boundary fence to cut the corner for a wedge into the green. I will play here again. Good value.

Fun course and good value

This is always a fun course. Fairways were spotty and could use some work, but the greens were in great shape and rolling fast. Bunkers were in great shape.

Solid Exec Course

I play this course fairly frequently for short-game practice. There are plenty of risk/reward short par 4s, and water is a consideration on nearly every hole. For those looking to improve upon their game, distance challenged, or just looking to put in a quick round with friends, this is an excellent choice. Greens, as always here, were very well maintained. Management is very friendly.

Enjoyable layout but too slow

Knew this was going to be a long day when the starter told us they were already two tee times behind. No Marshall enforcing pace. Greens were in very good shape. Regarding the conditions of the facilities, the on-course bathroom was cleaner than the clubhouse bathroom. The Lansbrook website states "Sorry we don't have a lot of the frills that you find at other golf facilities." I get it. But at least clean your bathrooms. Too many courses in the area to warrant going back here.

Challenging, Fun Course

Course was in very good shape. Greens were fast. Undulating fairways and rolling hills. Only complaint is that the course does not offer GPS in carts and was not available in GolfShot. With a lot of blind shots, GPS availability would be of benefit for this course.

Disappointed given prior positive experiences

The course was in fair condition given all of our recent rain. Holes 11 and 18 were cart path only due to excessively wet conditions. But overall the course is a fun course, well maintained, and greens are in good shape (except for 14). What was disappointing was the service. No one loaded my bag, the service cart had no chips, candy or sandwiches, and the locker room was not as clean as I remembered. If I were a member, would be upset.
