Slow to recover from overseeding

This course’s condition was a big disappointment. Very little grass on the greens, actually more sand than grass. Fairways and tees were only slightly better than the greens, not good. It appeared the course started play after overseeding too soon. Would not recommend this right now, but maybe in 2-3 weeks it might be more playable.

Great Course

We’re visiting family from out of town. Played the course after an overnight rain so course was wet, but was still in very good shape. Great course layout, w back nine having several holes with great views of Longview Lake. Can’t wait for my next trip to KC so we can play Fred Arbanas course again.

Duke lives up

This was 1st day carts were allowed 90 degree after over-seeding. Course looked and played well after overseeding. We had early morning tee time and pace of play at less than 3 1/2 hrs. Met up with 2 local guys and had a great time. Look forward to next round at the Duke.

Great course

First time playing Wildfire. We found course and it's amenities as excellent. We got a 'Hot Deal' from GolfNow, which made the experience even better. Course conditions were excellent, one of the best in the Valley. Long holes with big carry to fairway. We played the Gold tees and a couple of guys in our group had trouble carrying their drives to the fairway, as a few holes had 170-180 yard carry.
Great Course! We'll be back.

Quality Course

Very challenging layout. Greens were firm as we all had trouble holding shots that hit the green. Greens were very fast. We had a threesome, and they dropped a single on us as we were about to tee off. That was alright, as was a nice &a friendly guy. Scenic course, fun to play.

Good Value

Have played the Duke several times. The course was in pretty decent shape from tee to green, greens were a bumpy, so you had to be firm with your putts to hold the line. The fairways are generous off the tee. Good course layout. Staff was very friendly and always helpful. Good course for the money.

1st time player at McDonald

Course still appeared to be coming out of overseeding. Greens were slow. Fairways & tees were in good shape. Walkable course, except for having holes 10-16 across the canal, then back to clubhouse side of canal for holes 17-18.

Rushed Round

Beautiful course in great condition. This was our first time playing the course. We were rushed through the front nine, as course over booked morning tee times prior to a shot gun start event. We were one of the last groups that needed to be cleared from front nine holes in order to make room for the shot gun scramble. The marshal was apologetic, but was on us every hole (sometimes twice a hole) trying to push us through the front side. This marshal 's annoyance became bother some after his first few visits, as we were waiting on the group ahead of us, and had nowhere to go.

Unfortunately, the marshal experience put a damper on the day and playing a quality course and enjoying the round. Hope the front desk gets their bookings straightened out.
