Wigwam Resort - Red Course
Played On 04/12/2023Very enjoyable round
We thoroughly enjoyed playing this course. The staff was friendly, the course was in very good condition and we played in under 4 hours. We will play this course again the next time we are in Phoenix.
Boca Greens Country Club
Played On 01/17/2023Dog Trackhe
This is an interesting layout and the staff is pleasant. That is about it for the positives. The course condition is poor. There is ;grass missing on the fairways and there are weeds. The greens are inconsistent and bumpy. Bunkers are dirt. Teeing areas have no grass on some holes. I would not play here again.
The Highlands Golf Course
Played On 01/27/2022The Ridge at Castle Pines North
Played On 07/15/2021Great course, friendly staff.
We hadn't played the Ridge in a number of years so we decided to try it again. It was a very pleasant experience.
Troon golf manages this course and they do a very good job. All of the staff are friendly and efficient. The course is in excellent condition and there is a very good mix of short and long holes. This course is quite hilly so be prepared to hit uphill, downhill and sidehill shots. Pace of play was slow for the first few holes but the ranger sped up a slow group and we ended up playing in a little over 4 hours. We will be back.
Broadlands Golf Course
Played On 07/10/2020Kahili Golf Course
Played On 08/01/2019Disappointed with Kahili
I have played this course many times in the past and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, this time was a disappointment. The layout is as good as ever but the condition of the course was poor. The greens were especially bad and there was even a temporary green on the 7th hole. I probably will not play it again unless I hear that things have improved dramatically.
Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club
Played On 04/10/2017Interesting test
I agree with many of the previous reviewers that this is really two courses. The front nine is more open and forgiving while the back nine is tighter with more hazards and requires more precision. This makes for an interesting and enjoyable golfing experience. However, what few people have noted is that the greens on both nines require shots to be well placed. Most greens are large and terraced and, if a shot is not placed on the correct level, the golfer can be left with a long, breaking putt.
The course is well maintained and the greens are in excellent condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This course is a good value.
Maui Nui Golf Club
Played On 03/05/2015Get ready for the wind
This course has changed names from Sivlersword to Elliair and now to Maui Nui. It looks like the current owners have improved the course conditions considerably. The tees, fairways and greens are all in very good ahape. We have previously played this course so we expected wind. But on this occasion, we encountered a 4 club wind whch made most of the into the wind holes par 4.5s from the blue tees. Unfortunately, due to the layout of the holes, the majority of them play either into the wind or into a severe cross wind so it was tough going. Otherwise, the staff was friendly and the layout is good. $115 without a discount is a little too pricey for this course so look for reduced rates.
King Kamehameha Golf Club
Played On 02/25/2015Pristine golf course
This is a private course but you can play it for $150-170 through golfnow.com. This course is a treat for all golfers but especially for advanced players. The course is immaculate and the flowers and shrubbry are magnificent. There is a lot of wind, hence the reference to advanced players. Not to be missed is the 75000 sq ft Frank lloyd Wright clubhouse. Views of the Pacific are fabulous. Definitely worth the money.
Kahili Golf Course
Played On 02/23/2015Enjoyable golf course
Kahili is a fun course to play. The fees are reasonable, especially after noon and the course has a interesting variety of short and long holes. There are some beautiful views of the Pacific from many of the holes. There is a fair amount of wind but not so much that it made the round unenjoyable. The tees and fairways are in adequate condition but the greens are very good. The food in the restaurant is quite good.
La Purisima Golf Course
Played On 09/17/2014Enjoyable golf in Lompoc
The course is is vary good condition and it has a good variety of short and long holes. This is a course that it helps to have played a few times since there are a number of blind tee shots. Also, even with the gps it can be difficult to see where some of the greens are. Also, the signage could be better between greens and tees. All that aside the course is enjoyable to play and during the week it is not crowded. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We definitely would play this course again the next time we are in the area.
McDowell Mountain Golf Club
Played On 04/18/2014Very enjoyable course
We played this course twice this week and it was very enjoyable both times. The course is moderately difficult with a nice mix of longer more difficult holes and shorter more challenging holes. The condition was very good and the greens putted well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Pace of play of a little over 4 hours was good. The dining area is very comfortable with a nice view of the golf course. This is a good value for the money. We definitely will play it again when in Scottsdale.
Palmer Course at Wildfire Golf Club at Desert Ridge
Played On 04/17/2014Not up to its usual standards
We have played this course a number of times and have found it to be a good challenge and in good condition. However, this time the course was not well-manicured like it usually is. This has been a very dry year and it is possible that the course managers just couldn't get enough water on the course. If we had paid the full rate instead of the very good rate on GolfNow we would have been unhappy with the value. All other factors - quality and friendliness of the staff, nice proshop, GPS on carts - were good.
Legend Trail Golf Club
Played On 04/15/2014Difficult desert course
The most important thing to know about this golf course is that there is desert on every hole. So, although the fairways are fairly generous, if you go off the fairway, you are in the desert. In addition, there are number of long forced carries off the tee. These factors combine to make scoring difficult unless you are driving it straight and putting well. I guess that can be said about any course, but at Legend Trail, it is especially true. Otherwise, the course is in very good condition and the staff is very friendly.
Waikoloa Village Golf Club
Played On 02/28/2014Hidden gem
The golf experience at this course is very dependent on the weather. It is often very windy which makes play difficult. On the day we played the weather was perfect - sunny with only a mild breeze. That being said, the course is very enjoyable and in very good condition. Although we rode, this course is walkable. It is a fair test of golf and can be challenging from the tips. The golf here is meant to be enjoyable and it is. This is not a resort course. It is located in the town of Waikoloa Village so a lot of locals play here. The price at $68 on GolfNow (9:30AM tee time) is a good value.
Hapuna Golf Course
Played On 02/27/2014One of the Big Island's best
Hapuna combines all of the elements necessary for an excellent golfing experience. The course is fairly challenging with varied terrain, knee high rough, excellent greens and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. The course condition is very good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was not bad at 4hours and 20 minutes. I would rate this course just below the Mauna Kea and Mauna Lani. At the significantly lower price available on GolfNow.com (especially around 1 PM) it is a much better value. I definitely will play again.
Makalei Golf Club
Played On 02/24/2014Nice layout, below average condition
This course has some interesting and challenging holes. There is a great deal of elevation change and a number of the holes have tight fairways. The golfing experience is not bad but there is one problem and that is the condition of the fairways on a number of the holes. For some reason they seem to have difficulty in growing grass on these holes while on others the grass is not bad. It is definitely a low key operation so don't expect a great clubhouse. Staff is ok but nothing great. I probably won't play here again unless I hear that the course conditions have improved.
Country Club of Coral Springs
Played On 12/6/2013Nice track, friendly service
We really enjoyed playing here. The course was in very good condition and there were a number of interesting holes. It was challenging without being overly difficult. The staff is friendly and the service is good. Pace of play was excellent.
West at Woodlands Country Club
Played On 12/5/2013Overrated.
I don't know how this course got a 4.1 rating Golfnow.com. The condition of the course, especially the fairways, is not good. Also there is a great degree of sameness to a lot of the holes. The surrounding area is rundown making for a less than aesthetic experience. Also, the majority of the water fountains don't work - not a good thing in the hot Florida sun. The one saving grace is that the greens are in good condition but this does not make up for the overall shabby milieu.
The Ledges Golf Club
Played On 9/7/2013Nice course, beautiful views
The Ledges is a very pleasant course with wide fairways in excellent condition. There could be more variation in the holes. Many of them look similar. Pace of play is very good and the staff is very friendly. Overall it was a pleasant golfing experience.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
