November golf at its best!

This is the first time playing this course, and I have to see it was in PERFECT shape, even in November. Though the pace of play was a little slow (that's ok...everyone wanted to play golf in November!), the conditions were pristine. I highly recommend playing this course!! Thank you!

Nice, short, tough course

This is the first time playing this course and it did not disappoint. From the tips it's 6.254 yards. Though it was unusually busy, we still played a 4 1/2 hour round. Great course layout; greens are SUPER FAST! Hopefully they will slow up as the season goes on. I highly recommend this course

Great staff, nice course

Verde River is off the beaten path, but truly worth it! This course is about 10 miles East of Troon nestled in the Trilogy at Verde River community.

The second you arrive, the friendliness of the staff was welcoming. Born and raised in NYC, coming out here is truly refreshing.

I was the first tee time at 6:40am and was paired up with 2 Arizonians who were great. I need to rent clubs and was supplied with Titleist AP1 irons and 917 woods. The outlay of the course was amazing. From tee to green everything was pristine. This course has gone through a number of name and layout changes. This Tom Lehman redesign is great. Though there is a lot of construction going on (houses being built on the course, not on the weekends), the course was in great shape.

Even though it was a little bit of a hike for me, I will definitely come back!

So-so course

So I read the mixed reviews of this course and thought I'd give it a shot. Staff was friendly; putting, chipping, and drive range area were great; TaylorMade M2 rental clubs; who wouldn't have a great day?

I can see where people complained about 5+ hour rounds, but I was fortunate enough to play it in 4 1/2 hours, though there were a slew of players behind us that clearly caused a back-up.

You would think there would be some great views of the mountains while playing this course, but no. Though it had some challenging holes, this was a ho-hum course. If you pay more that $100 to play this course, you're crazy! Definitely not worth it. Fairways and greens were ok, but the sand traps were hard and wet (not fun). I shall not return.

Great course in Paradise!

Stayed at another resort close to Iberostar Cancun and was able to get a small deal with club rentals (Ping G20). I was the first tee time at 7AM and finished my round in 2 hours, 20 minutes. Shot an 83 for my first outing of the season!

All food and drinks (on and off the course) were included with round. It was a little windy that morning, but the course played superbly! Would definitely recommend this course!

Cape Town visit

I am in Cape Town, SA for work and found time to get a round in. Since there is a water crisis in Cape Town, there are few golf courses that are actually really nice. They are green and plush because they use "effluent" water (recycled and filtered water).

I was fortunate enough to play Westlake Golf Club near Muizenberg area. 6500 yards from the tips, 6250 yards from the whites. Though the course is generally flat, it was still GORGEOUS!! Great staff! Great people I played with. AND it's mandatory that one stop after the turn to eat (10-15 minute stop). The only thing I did not like were the rental clubs. They only have Callaway Warbird woods and irons. They weren't crisp, but I eventually managed. Not playing for 2 months and using sub-par clubs, I wound up shooting an 88 (47-41).

I would still highly recommend this course.

Love this course!

I played this course last year when I was in Arizona and it was just as gorgeous (if not more) as the first time! They finished over-seeding a couple of weeks ago and was in fantastic shape! This is a short course (6,016 yards (Par 70) from the Blues) but a great layout! Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely worth the money!

Great layout!

So I booked a tee time at this course not realizing that I am playing the day before they were closing for over-seeding. Suffice it to say, the course was pretty brown and the greens were like glass. Also the constant planes flying overhead was slightly annoying (small airport close by).

However, with that said, I loved the layout of the course and had a lot of fun on the Longbow board. I did love the course layout and the friendliness of the staff. Despite the planes constantly flying overhead, I will definitely come back to this course when everything is nice and plush!

Nice track, horrible golfers, pace of play awful

First off, I would like this golf course if it weren't for the pace of play. The staff had snuck in an extra 4 groups in front of us which messed up our rhythm. Even if the pace of place was good, almost every golf on the course is a beginner. Biggest bunch of hacks I have ever seen. I am no pro (currently a 15 handicap) but at least I can hit the ball in the air and get on the green in a timely manner. I swear, I will not place this course as long as I live.

Tough track but nice

This is a nice, tough golf course. You have to play more strategically than most courses. Well groomed tee boxes, plush fairways, so so greens. The only negative thing is the staff in the pro shop. Because I wasn't a member, I felt he treated me poorly. I would still come back to play.
