Longbow - 11/19/23

Always a treat to play one of the finer courses in Phoenix.
Check-in was great, half-way house is perfect and our lunch on the patio was fabulous as well.
Course just completed their over-seeding process but cart path only was limited to only 2 holes.
Greens rolled super true but a tad slow due to the OS noted above.
Fairways were cut to appropriate length and most of not all bunkers were raked.
Enjoy the variety of different holes and the greens themselves can be large with nice undulations.

Foothills - 11/16/23

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon round at Foothills.
The rate for pm golf was great.
Course just finished the process of over-seeding but we encountered no problems at all.
Greens rolled true but slighting slow given the seeding process above.
Fairways cut to appropriate length and we were pleased with the variety of holes throughout.
Would recommend the course.

Boulder Creek Review

I attempt to play this course every time I visit Vegas and it again, did not disappoint.
Course offers a nice range and putting facility.
Bag attendants couldn't have been faster & efficient and check-in was a breeze. Pro Shop has nicely stocked merch.
Overall course was in great condition. Course offers 3 9's and each hole is not the same, as it meanders throughout.
Having played the course previously, it is nice to know where a few of the fairways end, so laying up with a fairway wood is ideal.
Greens were fast and rolled true.
Fairways & tee box areas were all cut to appropriate height.
Collars around greens perfect and all traps were raked (and easy to hit out of).
Worth the 25 minute drive (from the south end of the Strip).

Rhodes Review

From the moment you enter the gated (security) residential community, everything is top-notch especially the course.
Both Pro Shop and starter attendants were professional.
The greens were probably the best I played all week (of the 4 courses). Fast and all true.
Fairways all cut to perfect length, all green with very little bare marks, if any, throughout.
Traps were all raked and only got out of 1, with ease.
Overall, the layout was great with no 2 holes the same.
Finishing stretch of 15 - 18 are awesome and a tru test, particularily from back tees.
Course offers a nice range and putting/chipping green.
Top Notch golfing facility. Definitely would play again.

Highland Falls Review

First time playing Highland Falls at Summerlein. Played on a Tuesday afternoon with high winds so the course was not too busy. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the course, particularly the layout as none of the holes are exactly the same. Back 9 definitely has some elevation changes with hole 14 or 15 illustrating a perfect view back toward the Las Vegas Strip with the numerous hotels.
For me personally, the fairways were cut to a perfect length and the collars of all the greens were immaculate. Most if not all the bunkers were raked and no problem getting out (in 1 of them).
The greens were very quick (which is my preference rather then slow). The Sup looks like he is attempting to correct a few of the greens as there were some bare patches evident.
Check in at Pro Shop handled professionally. Good range as well.
Overall, I would def play again, mainly due to the various (non-similar) hole layout.

Great Golfing Facility

A must play every time in the area.
Practice facilities top notch.
Check in was easy & efficient and staff prompt in loading bag on assigned carts.
Course conditions outstanding, from tee boxes, sand and of course, very true rolling greens. Fairways cut to perfect length.
Lunch before round was excellent, as were servers.
Great day of golf.

Good Starter Course

Thoroughly enjoyed our round.
Check in was fine.
With the small frost delay, definitely professional to announce who was up next, as well as on deck.
Good assortment of holes. Tee boxes not bad and the greens rolled true.
Pace was not a factor at all, just over 4 hours.
This was our first course to play during our week stay.
Good value for the $$$.

Providence Never Disappoints

We make sure and hit Providence every year (for past 5).
For the price, it is easily one of the best options around.
The greens never disappoint and roll very true, all 18 of them unlike other nearby courses. We played after Orlando received some rain so the course had only a few bare spots.
Check-in was a breeze (polite/friendly) and same goes for the cart personnel and cart girl.
Traps were not raked (rake available so you could place your ball) but none of the courses we played had their traps raked either....

Another Fine Round at Providence

We came across Providence 3 years ago, gave it a try and keep coming back annually.
I'm a big greens guy and couldn't have been more delighted.
This is what impressed us 3 years ago and they were true to their word again in 2021. Speed of the greens and how true they actually roll is awesome.
Tee boxes were fine and most if not all traps were raked.
The fairways had a few rough spots on some holes but it really has not rained in FL for awhile, but it certainly did not take away from our experience.
Pace of play not a problem as we were out early.
Variety of holes throughout is great for someone trying for 1st time.
Pro Shop check in, cart personnel & bev individual were all fine, no complaints at all.
For the money, easily one of the best deals around.
Always a treat to play.

Great Experience

Was fortunate enough to play Providence twice, March 13 and 15th, before the large outbreak of the COVID-19.
Course was an excellent condition particularly the greens and I would highly recommend the facility to anyone visiting Orlando area.
All of the staff from check-in to starter to the cart girl were excellent.
Great variety of holes and the condition from tee to green was fabulous.
The Providence location (actual homes not rentals or timeshares) is nothing but outstanding and more are being built on the back nine, but far enough away from the actual course itself.
Again, to reiterate, absolutely loved the greens: fast and very true.

Super golfing facility.
Check-in and starters were great.
Beautiful grass range and large putting green.
Tee to green, course was in fantastic condition.
Greens were very quick and rolled true.
No problem with pace as we were 1st group out but saw a ranger 4 times throughout round.
Some great golf holes. Undoubtably best course I played of 4 during the week.
Without hesitation.... would play here again when in the area.

Great Golfing Facility

Overall experience for the day was excellent.
Check-in and starters were great. They have a PA system to announce next group on tee around the range/putting area.
Course was in fantastic condition from tee to green.
Greens were quick and rolled true. Try to stay below the hole on a few of the holes.
Great elevation changes on several holes.... and no 2 holes are the same.
Would def play again when in the area !!

Quality Round at the Reserve

I typically make an effort to play the Legends course but since they were punching the greens, I opted instead to play the Reserve course. It is a small step down from the Legends but a quality round for the $50 GN fee.
I did prefer the front nine more so than the back as most the holes wind through the secluded trees whereas the back, you have several holes with houses on both sides of the fairway (particularly 10 & 11) which I personally don't care for.
Pace of play was excellent for an early morning around and check in was efficient. As noted by earlier comments, pro shop is contained within the Marketplace, but there is a bag drop area, you ring the bell and individual promptly puts your bag on a cart.
Greens were tad bit slow but rolled true and every sand trap I looked at was efficiently raked the day previous.
All in all, a good quality round.

Perfect Early Morning Round

First off the tee on a Wednesday morning.
Check-in handled efficiently.
Did not utilize the range but saw a great deal of people using when finishing round.
Greens were very fine, rolled true and fast. The POA which had some people complaining about in earlier comments is gone.
The course is short...but tight.
Pace obviously not a problem being out early.
Had a great round on a great course.... just wish it was about 500 yards longer but I understand given the location.
Would come back again.

First round of the year for this US northern.
Quite impressed with overall quality of entire facility.
Female staff great at check-in.
Course possesses a grass range and putting & chipping green all of which were in excellent condition.
Greens rolled fine and fairways & tee boxes in decent shape.
You can certainly score here (6535 yards) but there are several holes which will grab your attention.
Course exceeded me expectations given they great rate on GN.

Always a pleasure at the Legends

I typically play both Legend courses approx. 3 times per year and they never disappoint.
This particular morning, Battlefield was in excellent condition. Tee boxes were fantastic and they just rolled the greens making them fast and very true. The green collars were immaculent on each hole. Only hit one bunker but all were raked or in the process, as I played early.
Grounds crew very pleasant as was pro shop attendant.
Some large greens which make club selection important, pending pin location.
Always a treat to play

Great Course & Layout

Third time playing this course in the past three years and the conditions were probably the best so far.
Played an early morning around so there was no holdups whatsoever.
Course has a moderate driving range, chipping area and practice green.
Personally, I really enjoy the layout, as it meanders through various areas.
While not as spotless as higher end (and more $$ courses), a treat to play.
Greens rolled true and sand bunkers were white, fluffy and all raked.
Starter and shop attendant were both quality individuals.
As mentioned, I enjoy this layout and the improvements that are currently being made to the overall course conditions.

Great Prep Course for Pinehurst Trip

Thoroughly enjoyed our round at the Preserve. Initial course played before proceeding to Southern Pines area. As northerners, we had no problem with the low-60 degree temps. Course, for the most-part, was pretty empty. It rained previous night so some spots a little wet. Greens were rolling fast and true. Loved the contour and elevation changes throughout the entire 18 holes. Pro shop attendant was courteous & efficient. Course is worth the drive, although it was on our way to Pinehurst. Definitely on the list to play on our next trip!
