Great day on the course

What a treat to play this course. The views that surround this course are beautiful. Native cactus and vegetation all around with wildlife every where. The course was challenging but in a good way and it was in beautiful shape. The greens were just right for me. We played in less than fours hours and had a great lunch after. Do yourself a treat and play this course.

Great Value in AZ

Fantastic round, course in great condition. Played from the tips, so the tee boxes were untouched. Challenging but fair course. Pace of play was excellent.

wonderful course

Very well laid out course. Challenging and a little tight, but nothing servere. A lot of well placed carries off tee boxes, and approch shots. just enough to get into your head. Actually makes you condcentrate more. Fairways were lush with perfect lies. Greens were nice but a little deceptive. Hit your puts firm io the hole, or the unseen break at the hole will turn your ball away . hit it to hard and your ball will roll way past the hole. watch for the hidden uphill putt. look at the hill behind the green what looks like a flat surface acturally goes uphill.
This is a must play course. Staff is very friiendly. Can't say enough good things about the course.

Nice course but bunkers are in poor condition

Bunkers have no sand. If you are not going to maintain then they should be switched to grass.

Great golf

A beautiful desert track. Target golf. An interesting layout with a couple blind shots. A course that rewards proper club selection. Very fun.

Sand traps are not good

Sand traps need to be redone to a sifted sifter sand. The traps are rough and not in good shape

Renovations

Lot going on around the course as they are cutting. Down a lot of areas. Maybe to make it a little more player friendly.

Starr Pass

Pace of play was terrible. Nearly 5 hours on a Tuesday. Starter at the first hole was a jerk, surprising he was so rude getting people going but the pace was terrible and there were no rangers to move things along. Get that from cos and you have a great course.

Slow play@!

Pace of play was at a standstill behind a foursome that did not belong on the course…. We did not see any staff taking any action to correct. We went to the shop after 4 holes and they did direct us to the other 9 where the pace of play was fine!
