Purgatory Golf Club
Played On 08/04/2019What happened?!
This used to be a must play, but now half the greens are trashed. They also are no longer keeping them rolled and fast. Practice green was closed down completely. The cart paths are a mess. No ball washers. Many tee boxes are soaking wet even though it's barely rained in a month, causing me to slip often, because again, it has barely rained in a month so I wore spikeless shoes. I'm not going back this year, I hope they improve the conditions because it's a fantastic layout.
Wigwam Resort - Gold Course
Played On 10/02/2016Legendary architect, forgettable golf course
I was really disappointed. There was almost no distinction between fairway and rough, the tee boxes and greens were really furry. I had no confidence on the greens. I had to hit so hard I usually played no break and there was always some. This is just before overseed season, so I'm not sure if they've just let it go, but there is no excuse not to take a mower out there. Bare spots I understand in Arizona summer, but not furry greens. Definitely skip this one.

Played On 09/14/2014Odd experience here
I'm not really sure what is going on with this place. Any GolfNow tee time you book can't be trusted at all. I had an 8:03 tee time, and no one showed up to the facility until 8:10. I had to prove my rate with the GolfNow confirmation email, which they accepted. The old front nine is now literally a cow pasture, but I went out all by myself to a newer nine built only a few years ago, it's a pretty nice layout. I played that nine twice, and got all the way around it once before anyone else showed up. The greens are in good shape, but they are teeny tiny, so it's challenging. They apparently only mow once a week or less by the time September rolls around. The grass on the fairways, tees and greens were way too long. If you want to get in a little practice round, this is a good place. If you want to have a serious round, I'd go elsewhere because you really don't know what to expect on any given day here.
