Hotel with history behind it!! Photo submitted by Shypoke55 on 04/22/2019
Course in fair condition
The tee boxes were terrible. Some were so hard, it was extremely difficult to put a tee in the ground . Grass was very scarce on the tee boxes and most were very uneven. The 2nd cuts around thr greens were long and in bad shape. Fairways were average with casual water in many areas but the bunkers were very hard and compacted. Course conditions took a lot of the enjoyment out of the round. Very disappointed.
course needs water
the course needs water which may be an issue with the city of Casa Grande form what on estaff member disclosed. Greens were good. We were a threesome so waited on every shot but still made it around in 4hrs.Have seen the course in much better shape
Well worth the drive from Phoenix
Good course, nothing fancy, although a neat story behind the hotel and course. Sounds like it is busy and slow on the week end, but we played on a Monday and play flowed just about right.
For this time of year the course was in great shape.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was beautiful here, greens in good shape. Play was a little slow. Still many golfers for this time of year but glad the course is being used
Great Value
This was a nice walking course as it is relatively flat. The course has all the length you could want and there are many different sets of tees to suit anyone. The staff were super friendly and I really enjoyed the course layout. I would definitely play here again.
Love this course!
Great course with some really awesome holes.
A big, big handclap to the sand traps that are actually sand! No rocks and no hard crust! A lot of other course could learn something about sand traps from them.
This course is a little over an hour from my house or I would golf there a lot more often.
Not updated
First, the staff was great! They were helpful and accommodating throughout.
The golf course was not in acceptable playing conditions. I read reviews and can’t believe that they are real after visiting this course. There was not one ranger and the round took 5 hours and 35 minutes. The pictures are a complete sham depicting the course from years past.
Painful Experience
Five plus hour round. Zero ranger presence. For all the rain we had there was an awful lot of dead spots. Greens like a dusty pool table. Used to be worth the drive in high season.
Good condition
Played very early on that day, nobody was in front of us so pace of play was great. Greens and fairways were in great condition. Sand trap were ok. Some of the rough need some work but overall ok.
