A great course for the discounted rate!

one of the problems with many courses is they sand the Tee boxes until they are rounded! so when you Tee up your ball can be above your feet or below them! They apparently also don’t tamp down the grass after they pull the plugs when moving the holes to different locations on the greens, thus they leave a slight lip around the holes so your ball tails off just before dropping in the hole,aggravating!
The designers of most public courses think that the average golfers are par players the way they layout the greens, sloping them, putting rises in them, etc. If you watch the PGA TOURNAMENTS you seldom see greens as tough as the ones we have to putt on. What is that for? The sand traps are most always watered down till they are like cement!

sand traps and green slopes!

Many courses in the Country were designed for the very best players, but the majority of us are mediocre, if players are honest! If you watch the PGA tournaments the majority of greens the pros play on are fairly level, but on this course as on many others the greens are extremely slanted, and usually toward the water that may be near by! Today twice I chipped my ball on the green at least 10 yards in to have the ball turn and roll down the hill and into the water unable to retrieve it. that is completely unfair! Also, the Tee boxes are mounded from years of adding sand, So either your feet are above the ball or below it! Shows poor maintenance!

course

We played here because of a “Hot Deal”. But we will not go back! As with many courses the condition is poor!
And with many many courses around the country the design is for the best golfers rather than the average golfer. Sand traps and water poorly placed! Example is a hole on this course has water right in front of the green! Also the carts are worn out!

Course needs a rest

Course needs a rest but so do a few others. Irrigation system needs repairs, to eliminate wet spots. Greens and fairways ok but tee boxes need some attention. Newer carts are a plus now! Bought a shirt for a reasonable price, most courses they are a rip off!

One of the areas nicer courses

Enjoyed playing here, well maintained! Finally able to play here at a reasonable price! Like most Scottsdale courses,usually over rated, and grossly over priced! But the greed factor is predominant in this City, always trying to rip off the visitors! Their way of keeping the rif-raff out! Will play here again for this price if they will offer it!

Nice course; typical of the area.

Course is in good condition. Only issue, which goes for all courses here, is sand traps compacted by water .

Nice course, fairly well maintained.

Fairways are cut a little to short and over watered in Some places.
Sand traps seldom tilled and never deep enough. Fairway and green watering goes into traps compacting them into near cement.

Cart path

Like the course except for rough cart paths. Noticed irrigation isn't working well in some areas. Puddles in sandtraps. Also, sand traps more like cement traps!

Course is challenging for most golfers, but fun!

Course is tough to play in the afternoon. On the last few holes you are facing into the sun. So it is easy to lose the flight of your ball and then hard to locate it.

Facility and set up.

Not being a gambler I had not been to T.S. Before. There are NO SIGNS directing you to the golf club! I Drove around for 15 min. And made a last ditch effort by driving to the end of the road, and there it is was! Ridiculous! Then the guy at the bag drop put my clubs on a cart and said I would find them down the hill behind the building. I said how will you know who's clubs to add to my cart? He said ask down there, he doesn't do that ! You would expect the golf shop to be in the front of the building, but NO! It is in the back with a dim sign above the door. After checking in the guy said to go out the door and down the steps to the back. What steps? They are down a hallway and not visible from the walkway! Finally walking down the cart path and getting my group together they sent us to the starter. But first I asked if they had cups for water. As extensive as this facility is they only had a water cooler, like the ones out on the course! The cups were not recognizable laying up on top of the cooler in a plastic bag, NO ice, NO covers! If I was paying full price I would be upset!
The Golf was great! Weird greens, super fast, like commercial carpeting; really hard to judge speeds of your putts! Just so different from most courses. Takes time to re-learn. Beautiful course, nice smooth fairways that don't break your back driving on them, a real plus! Thanks for the reasonable price! So tired of the gougers down here, so don't play as much as I used to.

Very similar to WI courses I play for half the price!

As with all nice courses in AZ, to expensive! Will most likely only play there once each season . I don't understand why they overcharge to discourage replays!
