Nicer course in this area

This is one of two courses in this area that are somewhat challenging with elevation differences and some very long par 4's.

The better course of the Foxtail group

Greens are in good shape and very fast. We took several holes to get used to them. Fairways in good shape and some of the rough needs to be mowed but most has been donel

Nice course but they are behind on mowing

Greens and fairways are in good shape but lots of the rough needs to be mowed as some of it is tall enough to completely hide a ball unless you stand right over it.

Good day to be on the course

Weather was warm but not too hot, course was in good shape fairways mowed and green. Some rough not mowed yet as some was still wet. Golf carts are all new and all bunkers have been sanded instead of the red cinders they were made with in previous years.

Good challenging course

Course just reopened after being closed from so much rain that they couldn't do any maintenance. Greens are in pretty good shape but some of the rough has yet to be mowed as it is still wet in some areas. It was a windy day but there is enough trees growing next to the course that only a few holes are in the full wind.

Great short course

This is the short course but still has some holes you can use your driver on. Enough challenges on it to make it enjoyable. The starting time on the teeoff specials at the courses at Oakmont that this course is the only one you could finish before it gets dark.

Nice fairways and very fast greens

Course was in excellent shape and dry enough to be able to take carts off of the paths. Course has some long holes that paly well, but if the wind is blowing some of them can be really challenging. Fortunately there was little to no wind on Thursday. Our starting time was 12:15 pm and we were able to play all 18 holes finishing at about 4:30 pm.

One of the more higher rated local courses

We played this course for this rate as they had just aerated the greens and there was sand on all of them. This impacted the putting but we were prepared to deal with that because of the reduced rate to play the course.

Friday is slow play day

Found out from the golfer who joined us that Friday's and weekends tend to be real slow and crowded. The day was still enjoyable as we had no commitments after golf.

good course very hot day

Course was in good shape but they still don' t have the cold water back out on the course and there was no cart person so the cold water jugs need to be put back out in the holders that are still there.

nice course very hot day

Course was in good shape and greens were fast. Only bad thing was the course has not set out any of the usual water stations that they had before the pandemic and on these hot days they are really necessary. One of my partners had to stop playing the last two holes because he couldn't get water to drink and cool off with.

great course for winter golf

After a few weeks of fair weather the course was well mowed and in excellent shape. Some tee boxes had wear but the fairways and greens were all well maintained.

Very Nice Course for my first time in Scottsdale, AZ

Course has little to no elevation changes so it is easy to walk. Fairways are wide enough to make most shots playable even if off line a little.
