A gem

This was the first time playing this renovated course. I didn't know what I was missing. The staff and the amenities were top notch. Very friendly and genuine. The playing condition of the course was outstanding aside from typical divots in the fairways. Bunkers had real sand and there were workers on the course making sure they were raked throughout the day. As advertised, the greens were difficult. Pin placement at times seemed unfair but challenge is good. The only negative is the lack of distance measurements throughout the course. My GPS had failed me and I was lost. If you have one you're good. If there can be an investment, it could be in newer carts with GPS.
Overall this is the best public course in the metro area and I've golfed all of them.
Way to go Royal Golf Club to everyone that works there!

Skip it

This is the worst course I have played in AZ. Awful condition. Kokopelli needs to close down. Grass does not seem to grow here. The greens were just fine, but the rest of the course was a joke for an online rate of $50.
One course to take of my list and hopefully yours. :

Want a slow round?

We followed 2 5-somes and a women's league that had beginning golfers. Not sure why that is allowed. The course is tough enough without having to wait for each shot. The man who checked us in was very professional and the course was in pretty good shape for the beginning of February. If you like slow rounds and undulating fairways this course is for you

Lack of golf carts

While entertaining a visitor from Minnesota we were upset about the brashness of the boys working to place our bags. There were no carts up to 10 minutes prior to tee time. When we asked a few times prior they were rude to both of us each time. I realize it was hectic and they had no carts available but their response was unacceptable. First off there should be more than enough carts. Are some broken down? They don’t have the cash to purchase more? How about a bench for us seniors to sit on as we wait? There was no place to be patient as we waited and prompted us to keep asking. Thankfully the course was outstanding and playable and our round ended well.

Super sonic headache

My wife and I are living our first winter in the Phoenix area, and heading back to MN for the summers. We golf regularly at many courses as we enjoy new challenges.
We definitely will not ever return to The Falcon even if we were given a free round. Besides the ever present blast of our air force pilots practice takeoffs and landings right next to the course, it was very slow golf. If you are able to temporarily put the screaming intense noises out of your heads you have to deal with slow play and no ranger in sight. No beverage cart, Rock hard rough, missing grass in fairways, slow greens, and carts that screech, were enough to recommend to all golfers to stay away. Oh.. and the man who took our money was more interested in finishing his seemingly mundane conversation with a regular than serving us.
