Good conditions on a solid layout

Bright day out there W/Cody, a Pal from work who is just getting into the game. The entire course looked a little dry in spots But overall is still in fine shape, lush fairways throughout & greens, always undulating, rolling out a couple of extra feet & smooth. Bunkering was firm mostly, expected this time of year though. Fantastic value for My money at the Legacy Golf club and will definately be back Soon -B Well.

Palmer course definitely plays tough

Initially was greeted by Denza pulling up to the bag drop then easily checked in with Will inthe Pro shop. A truly Wonderful day, a chamber of commerce postcard example of a day, then met up the others I would play with.
I've been to WildFire B4 and looked 4ward to this, 2day did not dissapoint with the starter also giving a good heads up on the speed ofthe greens and they did roll very nice. Conditions were Excellent N lush throughout, even the bunkering sand played well the 4 or 5 times I got there.
Green undulation is tricky to read but felt they rolled true. Winding this up after just under 4 &1/2 hours I met up with Justin who promptly cleaned up My equipment & is certainly cordial as are all the Folks I encounter at WildFire,
Whenever I mention to My associates from the Phillipines or Canada of a destination that is a must go to place to play, WildFire is certainly an easy place to recommend, THANKS -B Well.

Finally gottts(Har) 2play Sunbird !

Getting checked in went Well W/Christina warmly welcoming Me after several attempts 2gettts to Sunbird GC. The Gentleman that gave US(another 2some I played 9 holes with) instructions on the course was clear N friendly.
The course itself has a Nice layout W/a real variety of holes(for an Executive)including a par 5 that really needs 2B thoughtfully negotiated, water on BOTH SIDES of an approach shot. Greens rolled well, fairways have grown in lush & the sand INTHE bunkering is very acceptable. Tee boxes AND the range appeared Shaggy but overall I Enjoyed the day at Sunbird GC so THANKS Folks -B Well.

Wildfire is always a treat !

I finally made it up to Desert Ridge for a round at WildFire since They came off of Cart Path Only & it was worth the wait 2B Sure. Met up with Cameron that day & it was Nice to see Justin again out front when arriving as My equipment was gathered up right away. My time allowed Me to meet up.with Jerry, Wareen & Garrett who definitely helped our group maintain an excellent pace(3.5hours!)
The look of the Palmer course was once again spectacular and condition wise was Fantastic, even the bunkering was in wonderful shape throughout the course. Greens rolled out a couple of extra feet, quicker than They appeared and SMOOTH too. This time of year is when Plenty of courses should be in Prime shape and the Palmer course at WildFire certainly is -B Well.

Former Muni Fav in wonderful shape !

The now GCU course got it’s facelift several years ago to become a top tier Collegiate competition course Home of Antelopes of Grand Canyon University golf teams.
Well Plenty of resident duffers like the layout of the former Maryvale municipal course that had been run by the City of Phoenix until GCU acquired it to host college matches.
Lush fairways N smooth greens are very well maintained especially for this time of season in Phoenix. When properties can let conditions slip until high season, 2days round was very nice indeed as well as a couple of the staff, “Koda’” in the beverage cart and Jess out at front services wrapped up an enjoyable round at the GCU course.
If the green side bunkering had just a bit more sand in ‘em, although not at all “crusty” like elsewhere, Everything would splendid indeed ! Be aware of the Several/PLENTY of bunkers added to this course for the challenge and You’ll enjoy this track also -B Well.

Always Fun at Sunland Village GC

Well the course seems Wide open as far as no other players were seen onthe course that is in Wonderful condition including the bunkering which had very serviceable amount of sand in Them.
The fairways & greens really are in fine shape N although firm were receptive to well struck golfshots into Them & rolled quite nicely today. It is an Executive course W/mostly short par 4’s that need tee shots strategically place to wind through the mature trees & such leading up into the well maintained and definitely undulating Green complexes.
After the round it was nice to meet Gary who was nice enough to take My cart in the rest of the way as They were getting the equipment ready 2B put away, Big THANKS Sir. We’ll B back as Sunland Village offers 0utStanding Value for some quick(2.5 hours) afternoon Golf -B Well.

Fun little track -will B back!

Fist off Robin inthe shop was cordial and helpful with a schedule thing and Skip outside seemed happy to see Us at the start W/Bob ready to help when We finished, that’s appreciated. Mostly parkland style the course through the fairways and greens are in Nice shape, even AND undulating W/firm greens that rolled very well. Bunkering sand is inconsistent but several were splendid actually & the tee boxes were sparse on a few holes but U put a peg under the ball on ‘em so, . . . . . FUN track I’ll B back to soon, BIG value for some afternoon “hacking !” THANKS Folks -B Well.

Fantastic Experience, AGAIN.

Well was grouped up with Wonderful Folks, a couple of "Humboldters" and a member of the club from Toronto, excellent People that really added to the day ! The Faldo course is certainly the Tougher of the 2 courses and tee to green the condition is Good but was surprised with the bunkers (and there are PLENTY) that they are in BRUTAL shape, hardly any real sand in nearly ALL of them !
The green complexes are difficult with plenty of undulation and tiers making them a Chalkenge. The speed was nice & rolled smooth but didn't seem to roll out as much as I've seen inthe past, the fairways in prime shape too.
A shout to Justin and Jacob with 0utSide service for being trully cordial and attentive that certainly makes gettin'2 WildFire GC Golf to look 4ward to -B Well.

Fantastic conditions, Big Value

Such a wonderful day for Golf and that the Course is in ideal shape when I met up W/Chris, Leroy & Ron made the round Great. It's January & the time of year to highlight what a course can be and The Staff trully deserve Kuddos for the results. Even the bunkering sand is ideal and allowed good shots if U know how to play out of 'em. The undulating Greens seemed trickier onthe back nine and all the fairways looked beautiful carving Their way through the dormant grass. Fantastic break 4Me getting THIS course on a Golf Now Hot Deal -WOW, I'll be be back Folks. Let US All Enjoy the New Year(!)& B Well.

Fun track for a Sunday Hot Deal.

Short course 2B sure however the subtle undulations of the greens challenge players from just ABUSING scores here. Proshop had Tanya in charge 2day N I was lucky enough to meet Brian onthe course. Fairway condition is nice and even throughout but once off of them somewhat it gets Muni/uneven quick. Bunkering could use more/better sand in 'em so overall there is Good value for inexpensive quick golf & the complimentary range balls('bout 20/25) is a definite PLUS -I'll return 4sure!

Really nice Fantastic day out, course in Fine shape !

Dan inthe shop is truly a pro, getting plenty done as I entered the shop 2Check-in. Dealing w/gift certificates AND check-ins add up, but off I was in short order. As for the course, it's in Wonderful condition and the bunkering sand is OutStandig & even throughout the course, no crusty textures about.
Played W/a Walker 4the front 9 & the ranger, doing His job, mentioned We needed to pick it up, then He saw the walking golfer in our group -all good. Really enjoy the pace( 12:45 time) as We all played in 4:15 -good enough and Definitely will B back Folk -B Well.

Nice turned Frigid conditions.

Really nice day turned real Wintery and Blustery in short order, got paired W/a couple of Nice Guys too. The grass has come out nice after overseeding and the greens rolled out well, surprising as they looked a little fuzzy.
Bunkers are ALWAY iffy There but the couple I was in played OK I guess, will definitely return soon Folks -B Well.

In My back yard & Classic !

This round was after a Pelting(!) by a monsoon all the day B4, They clean it up well there. So Terry was quite Neighborly in handling the times as We ran tardy that day, THANKS. Encanto is quite popular here inthe "C0P(Center0fPhoenix)" for a pleasant parkland golf experience & 4good reason. Mature and Undulating greens are an outstanding defense for a simple layout. Always Fun, now a big THANKS to Leon out front as another asset for wanting 2play this course, Will B back 4Sure -B Well.

Classic parkland layout inthe "COP."

First off I'll need to Thank Mike 4working W/Me onthe time adjustment I needed 2day! Then there's always the wonderful condition of those mature greens at Encanto, very nice/smooth. Fairways also in very good shape, that helps My ball sit-up fine, I NEED that. Must Thank "Teresa" (Her code name She said) in the restaurant who is quite cordial as I bugged Her for a couple cups of ice N water 2stay "hydrated." Only parts of the course(a couple of tees and some collars) have started to be punched is why only 3stars for condition, normally a 4+ I feel. Played some holes on the front W/Alex which added to the Outstanding Friday afternoon Golf 2day(!) -B Well.
