Immaculate Conditions

This is a beautiful well manicured course from the tees to the greens. Great course layout. High end plush and comfy golf seats. A truly wonderful course. I was also impressed with the gentleman marshaling the course and keeping things moving. They take pace seriously and are on top of things. I was glad to see a well run course. Book it! You will be happy I told you to do so.

Greens are a challenge from the fairway and putting

The course is in excellent condition overall. The only issues are: (1) The greens do not hold and the balls roll off easily when you land from the fairway. (2) The greens are very fast and many are slanted contributing to the endless rolls evn with a light touch.

Springfield Golf - Great Condition

I am from Chicago and visit AZ in the Spring to golf. I had never played this excellent par 3/4 course. I was very happy I found it as the course was in wonderful condition throughout. The staff was pleasant, and the food was good as well at the restaurant. I look forward to retuning and play here again.

Very Improved over past couple years

Course was in excellent condition in 2023. I hadn't golfed here in the past three years as the previous course conditions were terrible as grass was uncut in areas due to equipment breakdowns. It was hard to find balls due to high grass. In 2023 it looks like a new course. Fairways were cut beautifully. Greens were smooth and true for putting. Even the clubhouse was greatly improved inside with vases on tables and flowers. The bathrooms were like new as well, very clean, towels in baskets. Congratulations on all the improved maintenance on the course and upbgrades in the clubhouse. I shall return happily.

Non-stop Greens way too fast - Brutal pin locations

Very upset with the greens today on the Blue Course. It was like putting downhill on a pool table. The pin locations added to the agony as they were in spots you couldn't stop the ball from rolling. I had 43 putts for the day . . . just disgusting! The greens had subtle shifts you couldn't see right around the pins where the ball was going at the hole and last second the ball would wiggle and cause the ball to change path avoiding the hole and continuing a frustrating round. First time the greens have been like this so far this year. Normally they are in much better condition.

Hard Sand Traps - No notable sand

I always enjoy playing Deer Creek. Overal the course is well maintained. My lone complaint is no sand in the sand traps. They are barren, hard and cracked dried dirt.

The Golf Club at Johnson Ranch

I am visiting from Chicago for two weeks of golf and golfed here last year as well as today. Two of the staff who greet you at the cart section and get you started on your round and are there at the conclusion of your round are Tami and Dawn. They are so welcoming and assistive in every way with their big smiles and delightful manners. The course itself is the biggest star. It is huge and brilliantly laid out. It is artistically spread out with gorgeous vistas throughout the course that are breathtaking! There are elevated tees and greens. The boulders, cacti and natural southwest background are unparallel. Little rabbits and cute prairie dogs are everywhere popping in and out of the rocks making you appreciate the innocence of nature. The tee areas are plush and bright green, the fairways are well manicured and the greens are all in great condition. The course is in exceptional everywhere. Take photos with your phones to show your friends as it is THAT beautiful. I highly recommend this fabulous course. You will thank me!

Fabulous Condition

I hadn't played this course in a few years, as I do not normally play nine holes only. The course was in fantastic condition throughout. Tees, fairways, greens were all extremely well maintained and groomed. I highly recommend the Emerald course.

Course in outstanding condition in 2021

I routinely play this course every year. In 2021 this is the best condition the course has been in the past few years. The greens were manicured perfectly. The rough was cut nicely and made play easier and avoided lost balls. The fairways were in terrific condition as well. Thanks for preparing the course for all of the golfers to enjoy playing here.

The Meadows - One of my favorite courses

I always love playing at The Meadows in Blue Island. The greens were very well manicured and smooth to putt. Sand traps had sand in them (as some courses still don't). Grass was cut in the rough to allow you to find errant shots easier. The course has its challenges so it is fun to play.

Superior Course

I am visiting from Chicago for a couple weeks of golf here in March. This is th first time I have played at Foothills Golf Club. I was very impresed with the well maintained fairways, fluffy sand traps and welcoming greens. It is the first course here in 7 days of golfing that the greens were in superior condition and actually held the drives. All the other courses, many very nice courses that I played failed to hold drives and the balls woud roll off the green, even on uphill greens. The location also provides beautiful mountain backdrops surrounding the couse. I HIGHLY recommend you play here!

Beautifully scenic course

The view of the mountains and surrounding area is breath taking. The course itself is aesthetically designed and just visually impressive. The only dowsides are the greens are hard and slanted making it hard to hold a drive as the ball just keeps rolling till it is off the green and at times impossible to stop the roll of putts. Still it is a challenging course and I'd recomment it, if you are willing to pay the price.

Fairways very thin and lacking grass in many areas

The greens were very fast and hard to lag. After 9 holes I adjusted to the speed. Too many dead spots on fairway lacking grass. Sand was playable. Course design was good.

Beautifully laid out course

This isjust a very scenic and well laid out course to play. The staff is great and the overall course conditions are above average. Some added sand is needed as it is not fluffy, but a bit thin. The greens need to be watered more to hold a drive. The fairways are in great condition. I really enjoyed the beauty of the course. I definitely would recommend it and am returning at the end of my two week visit to Arizona for one more round.

Osprey Point - A Five Star Course

This public golf course is FANTASTIC! The fairways are great, the greens are smooth as silk and the layout of the course is a work of art. ou have some semi-blind tees, so it is a challenge. This is one of the most beautiful courses that you can find. If you play from the black tees it is a very long and challenging course. If you play like me from the white tees, it is much more playable and you get a really good look at most holes, except the semi-blind ones from the tee.
