The course conditions were excellent along with the friendliness of the cart personnel, but the management of how the course was run today was terrible.
-Round was started on the back 9 (hole 10), yet a twosome (playing out of 1 bag and 1 totally new golfer) was started on hole 1 when we were making the turn on an already busy course
-The clubhouse never addressed the twosome, even with a member of our group contacting them, immediately, by phone from the course
-This decision to start a twosome on the back 9 of an already busy course destroyed the pace of play for the entire course and, even, caused a member of our group to stop playing after hole 11
Because I play several times a week I have an opportunity to see a lot things at courses and this was, by far, one of the worse decisions of course management I have ever encountered.
Again, the course was in great shape (credit to the superintendent) and starting on the back 9 is less than desirable based on how this course is laid out, but sometimes necessary. However, there’s no reason to start a new group on the back 9 of an already busy course causing the pace of play to come to a screeching halt for everyone and, then, fail to properly address the issue when it’s brought to your attention.

The course was in excellent condition from tee to green and the food in the clubhouse was very good. Everyone was helpful and friendly. If you are coming from out of town, like myself, I would highly recommend this course based on my experience. It's close proximity to the airport makes it ideal and I will play it again on my next visit to the Phoenix area. I am not a bot either!!! Lol
