Fairways and rough were in good shape. Tee boxes were pretty beat up. Greens were in bad shape. The greens were extremely slow. There was three greens that were not holding the winter grass at all.

First time getting to play this course. I’m from the far west side but had heard great things about the course, namely the greens.
Well worth the hour and fifteen minute drive. The staff was friendly. Practice driving range and putting greens were good. Practice greens never really tell the story of how the course speed matches. I tend to see the practice greens faster than on the course.
We got paired up with some members and started off. They gave some good tips for navigating the course. Getting to the first green I could see it matched the practice greens. Super fast and flawless.
Some of the holes were in some insane spots. Please tell the greens keepers to not punch the new hole positions when their wives started a fight with them!
Only gripes would be the pace of pace. Round was just over five hours. There was no beverage cart out.
Great course. I will be back again soon!

The pro shop lady checking me in was very nice and professional. I played in a foursome early in the morning. The fairways were green, hard and in very good shape. The greens were firm and faster than most courses. Unfortunately, the greens had a substantial amount of ball marks.
The ranger was less than friendly. The ranger drove by and just said let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. Keep it moving.
It seems like the course was short on equipment. The employee was quick to get us out of our cart because there was no additional carts for the incoming golfers to use.
I took me an hour an a half to get to the course. That being said I would still recommend and visit this course again. This was my first time playing this course. I enjoyed the layout, firm and fast fairways and greens. The course could use some attention on the greens, a better ranger, and some additional golf carts so the staff is not stressed to push the golfers out faster than they get in.

Staff friendliness was ok. I went out as a single. They attempted to get me out ahead of the foursome groups ahead as well as the starter.
Tee boxes had not been moved. The tee boxes were beat up and are uneven. Hard to find a level spot anywhere on the box. The fairways and greens were a very pretty green if there was grass there. Most of the mounds were missing grass as well as some spots in the fairways.
Speaking of greens...Do you like practicing your putting in the office or living room carpet. Me too! But I don’t like paying $50 for putting on carpet. They don’t roll the greens at all. Use a croquet or a 3 wood to putt so you don’t leave them short.

Staff was friendly and helpful as I arrived. I went to the driving range to warm up before the round. There wasn’t much good grass left on the range. It was filled with sand and spray painted.
The starter got us out early due to some late golfers in the previous tee time. He drove us to the first tee and gave us some helpful tips for play.
Most of the fairways were in poor shape. I know the valley has seen a decent amount of high temps. The greens were bumpy and burnt out as well. I was not impressed with the condition of the course for it being a Scottsdale area course and the price.
