Thank you for the positive review! Is there anything we could do better to bump it up to 5*s?

Wonderful Course

The course was great but my game not so good. Not their fault. I just lost my swing that round. The course was well manicured and the pace of play was very good. The marshall was great and really kept things moving along. I’d recommend this course for anyone. A lot of golf hostory there.

Fantastic Course

This was the best course I played in the Scottsdale area. The course was perfectly maintained and had a great design. It was both challenging and fun. A great experience and well worth the money. The sister course looks equally good and I’ll be playing it this week.

Very Disappointing

They overbooked the course to the point we had three groups bunched up on almost every hole. We had to quit the last two holes because it was too dark to play. The course is directly in the final approach to the airport with planes and helicopters landing every 30 seconds. Very distracting. Never saw a marshall the entire round. It was a complete waste of money and no fun at all.

Fantastic Course

Great course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The condition of the course was perfect. Lush fairways and smooth greens. Just the right degree of difficulty for a 20 handicap.

Old and worn

The course had no character to it. The fairways were flat and uninteresting. The greens were old and worn with a lot of bald spots. The way around the course was not well marked. The round was not much fun at all.

Really fun course

We had a great time playing the course. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The course was challenging but not overly difficult. As an average golfer it was both challenging and fun. Nice wide fairways with lots of bunkers and a few water hazards. I would definitely recommend this course for a great day of golf.
