Course conditions.

Played this course 9/18/19. Course notified players in writing the course would be closing 9/22/19. Also advised tee boxes would be scalped down 9/20 and also greens on 9/21 in preparation for overseeing. No mention of this by Golfnow in current listing of tee times.

Awful greens.

Greens weren’t over seeded. Old Bermuda grass sprayed green and fast as glass. What a hoot. GolfNow should be ashamed for not disclosing this fact as an advisory prior to booking. Don’t play this course this winter.

Happen again.

Golfnow failed to inform golfer that greens recently punched and sanded. This also the case two weeks ago at Orange Tree golf course in Phoenix. Seems as if I need to call the course for conditions before I book my next round.

I too thought Golfnow failed to inform about courses being punched and aerated. but upon further review I noticed a little upside down triangle with a red exclamation point inside the triangle...when clicked it specifically said that the course, Orange Tree, was punched the previous week...

Punched greens.

Golfnow didn’t advise of punches and sandy greens. Fairways dry and void of grass. Pace of play slow after starting behind a scheduled tournament.

Slow play.

Ranger of no value in speeding up play. Multiple players in flip flops and tee shirts hitting multiple mulligans on every tee.

Pairings.

Starter originally stated the golfnow group was a foursome. Prior to tee off and without our knowledge,he changed the pairing to a fivesome. The threesome teed off prior to arrival to the first tee box. The starter attempted to have our twosome join the other group as a fivesome. We refused and played as a twosome. The agreement when our time was book,it was a foursome. This agreement should be honored by the course.

Slow play.

Pro shop informed players there was a ladies tourament in front and try to maintain a hole buffer,as they would get upset. Also,the pro shop sent out numerous five some,including the Golfnow group which was posted as a four some online. This added to the slow play.

No golf cart.

Course apparently scheduled a 9:45 shotgun tournament and sent all 45 golf carts out. When our 1:15 tee time approached,we were told of the situation. Options were to walk the course or not play and take it up with Golfnow.

Outside staff unfriendly.

I reported a person jumping in front of me on the fourth hole. The bag man believed me,stated she was a member. I told him it was no excuse,with stating there was nothing he could do. When I played 8/16/15,a member started on the back nine and approached our twosome. He complained about the pace of play and stated he was just around. He departed with a smile and skipped two holes. He apparently lied to the outside bag man we jumped in front of him. I compliant is with Mark,the youngest outside bag man. When he approach,he informed us a member complianed about our twosome. This guy Mark was very rude and refused to listen to response. I don't clean golf clubs for a living and consider myself to be non member customer. Irregardless,this guy displayed poor customer skills. I known the club's supervisor will not do anything about his behavior. Therefore,I will not play the course again or recommend any of my friends to play.

I appreciate your comments and am glad you came out to play. Please email me your group name on the date you played so I have a starting point. I will look further into the situation and see if we can get some more details on who was doing the skipping around and how it was handled by my staff. Thanks. shawnl@dovevalleyranch.com

This course was deserted in the after,except a twosome in front of me.

I was approximately 10 minutes late for my prepaid tee time. The staffer in the pro shop read me the riot act and informed me he didn't have to let me play. After his presentation,he stated it was an extremely slow and hot afternoon and decided to let me play. I thought the prepaid tee time was reserved for me,whether I started on the first tee or fifth tee. Also shouldn't have to listen to a pro shop staffer when it was completely indicated. Won't play that course again.

This course is not good.

Time tees backed up due to slow play and fivesomes and slow walkers. Fairways not very good and greens painted.

Expect frost delays that the pro shop will not inform you of until they collect your green fees.

Greens in lousy conditions and fairways poorly overseeded. Pace of play too slow and no marshall to speed play. The electic golf cart died on the seventeenth hole. I'll never play this course again.

The Boulders has great rocks.

Great value for the money. This a five star resort and the course is reflective.

This course plays extremely slow

Course was in great shape. Pro shop clerk charged $20.00,when Golfnow advertised and stated the green fee was $18.50. The $1.50 not worth complaining about.
