Walked (with electric cart) in just under 4 hours with three guys paired with me who rode.
Course (greens, fairways, tees, traps) is in great shape. One of my favorites in the PHX area, despite the drive, and always play multiple rounds here each January/Feb when visiting.
For the FIRST time in years, there was WATER in the wash in front of #17 tee that prevented me from walking through to reach the fairway. Have had plenty of rain, lately, but still a surprise.

Played as a two with a local friend (visiting from Michigan) and although we were behind a foursome we didn’t have any significant waits - played through them on 15.

Greens were bumpy compared to past rounds and a handful of tee boxes were a bit beat up. Greens fees were okay in that the Waste Management Open and Super Bowl are this weekend.

Visiting for the month from Michigan and have played SD 4 times and enjoyed each round.
Greens are very good, bunkers mostly decent despite a few wet spots and fairways and tees were very good. Staff does a nice job keeping the course in great shape. There are ALOT of bunkers and the course is challenging no matter how many times I play it.
Appreciate the nice practice area and range balls provided as well as the pushcarts. Only beef is being charged full monty for a pushcart/walker but it is what it is.
Starter and Marshalls did their jobs professionally. Pace of play was good and overall good value at this price point. Not a big fan of 'dynamic pricing' but, again, they do it because they can. Rates are going waaaay out of my comfort zone in the next week so see you guys next year.

Walked in under four hours - was fairly windy but leaves weren't an issue as the ground crew has done a phenomenal job cleaning them up. Greens were fantastic - hard, fast and true.

Pace of play was very good as the course was busy with so many taking advantage of the warm weather.

Walked 18 in gusty winds which made some of the holes quite long and challenging.

Still a few wet areas but overall the course is in great condition and the greens are very good, soft enough to stop the ball on but firm and fast enough for putting. A week ago they were slow as they were growing in and we not cut as tight.

Bunkers, tees and fairways are all well maintained and was nice to have water stations out as it was in the 80's and a warm walk.

Walked the Gold - in very good condition, even the bunkers. Pace was good, a little slow in spots but overall we played in 4 1/2 hours.

Walked the round (brought my own cart as course doesn't offer readily) and good walk on a perfect day.

Pace was a little slow as the course was full. Beverage cart came by several times and a marshal came by once.

Greens were firm and fast, bunkers very good compared to others locally I've played and overall conditions were excellent considering the amount of play. There was a 'tournament' (or outing) ahead of us that probably slowed the round compared to a non-outing day.

Will be back next week, and probably the week after that.

Walked 18 in 3 hours as first off. Course very wet from the rain but fantastic greens!

Bunkers are washed out and will be back to normal, hopefully soon - no fault of the grounds crew who are out there working hard.

Played last week with a first time visitor (to Michigan) from Ohio who was stunned at how nice the course was and plans to be back.

Course is well marshaled and the water bucket for towels at 1 & 10 tee is a nice touch.

Course was in excellent condition as the staff have clearly been working very hard getting it in shape for the season. Greens were fantastic, fast and firm and rough is getting thick enough to challenge off line shots.
But a five some? We followed a five some on a crowded course and the ranger never made the rounds. Nice guy who checked us in at the first tee but never bothered to check the pace of play. Had he done so he would have seen The Five holding EVERYBODY up on the back. Had I thought about it I would have taken a pic of The Five and posted it here - certainly had plenty of time while waiting for them to move along. A course of this caliber should never have a five some holding up play.

Borrowed a local friends cart and walked - great golf course with generous fairways and challenging greens.

Condition of the course was excellent, tee to green and the bunkers (thankfully I avoided ALL of them!) are deep, plentiful and have good sand.

Disappointing the course doesn't offer push carts as it is a very walkable course with short walks green to tee.

I'll be back.

Saturday morning round - my time slot was booked but other twosome never showed. Course was moderately busy (sunny, 60's and a bit windy) and walked it in just over 4 hours. Waited for a slow foursome ahead who had no clue about letting a two pass through and no sense of urgency on their part as they were well behind the group ahead of them. Marshal did make the rounds but being a two stuck us between two fours. Greens were excellent as well as rest of the course. Heather was mowed down so less punitive for errant shots.
Great course for walking.

Course is great shape, with excellent greens, fairways bunkers and tee boxes.
Was first off and walked in 3 hours. Grounds crew were working hard ahead of me.
Great layout and harder than it looks - rough Is fair but deep grass will cost you a ball right now. You might find two balls looking for yours..

Was first off this morning and walked 18 with a single cart rider and we finished in 2: hrs 39 min. Greens were excellent, bunkers well raked and sandy and the fairways and rough in great shape.

Layout is good for walking and reasonable rates to play a course in great condition. Always enjoy the course.

Was recommended by several players I had met at other courses. Pleasantly Surprised. Greens were fantastic as well as the fairways. Lots of bunkers. Great course to walk and we played in just over four hours while the course was busy on a Sunday. Nice facilities and staff were all very good. Being from out of state, I needed a push cart and ended up getting the last one, which was in rough shape, but I managed anyway. Will be back.

You will be hard pressed to find any weeds on tees, fairways and greens - course conditions were fantastic. Played on Friday afternoon as a walking single - course was very busy but pace was decent anyway. The marshal was present and came by me three times during the 18 hole round - THAT is unusual, and good!
Layout is flat and open so an easy walking course and green to tee walks are short. Course was well roped off to prevent knuckleheads from driving their power carts where they shouldn't - more courses need to do that. Greens were in fantastic condition, and despite being very flat were challenging enough to read and sink putts. Almost deceptively so. Only suggestion I would make is there should be drinking water stations out there. With very little shade (it was sunny but comfortable when I played) it could be tough walking, or even riding, without water or a beverage cart circling.

PR is worth the drive and a great value.

Beautiful layout and course is ALWAYS in great shape. Nice mix of holes with generous fairways and HUGE greens. You have to be able to putt and read greens well to score on this course.

Staff are well trained and you can tell everybody wants you to enjoy the round.

Course is in outstanding condition from tee to greens.
Tee boxes are nice and they even repair divots with sand to maintain - lot of courses won’t because sand dulls mower blades..
Rough is deep off off second cut but fair and the fairways generous. Greens are primo and true with no gimmicky stuff to deal with.
Water hazards are unique in that they have shallow banks and are clean so you can retrieve wayward balls close to shore...a rare find at most courses.
While the layout is open (very few trees) the houses do not come into play, which is nice for home owners and players alike. The open setting makes it tough in the wind, however.
Staff are all top notch. Even had a mower compliment my grinding save of par on one hole. THAT never happens!
Beautiful club house and course allows walking. There are some long treks from green to tee but ‘walker paths’ make it easier.
This course is a great value to play. While there are no spectacular ‘signature’ holes, it’s a nice track that offers a nice assortment of tees to play from.

Course was in great shape for early season. Greens were a little slow ((#16 was COVERED with 'helicopters') and the rough was thicker than normal, indicating an upcoming collegiate competition possibly.

This is a great course to walk. Our threesome walked it inside 4 hours, on a Friday, and never waited or pushed anyone. Only oddity is the back-to-back par 3's (#9 and #10) and a string of 4 par three's in 6 holes all placed between #7 and #12. This course is sneaky hard ... very much a parkland style course that looks easier than it is.

Nice course that is kept in great shape year round.

Challenging layout with only one hole that just doesn't fit, for me, #10 being a short par 4 that seems to have been wedged into place. Huge sloping (to the left) fairway with a severely elevated green guarded by bunkers down below.

Greens, tees, fairways and rough were all in great shape when I played, and most bunkers were decent with a few needing attention. Course was empty (weekday-mid morning) and I played solo in just over 2 hours 10 minutes, playing through one foursome of local members on Hole #6.

Although built in a sub-division with homes on some holes, the course has a good 'Northern Michigan' feel to the layout. A bit of a drive to get to, but worth the trip.
