A great day of golf

I was not sure about booking a par 3 course. Very excited when we arrived, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The course is in superb condition and allows a variety of holes, no 2 are the same

**Not Walking Only!!** They Have Carts

Course description is inaccurate as they DO now have golf carts, so don't let that dissuade you. The course was in great shape(late February, 2024). Very nice par 54 layout with some small, challenging greens and pin placements. I cannot comment on pace of play as I was the second group out(as a single behind a twosome) and I chose to play three individual balls and not crowd the couple ahead of me. Guy behind me was doing the same thing but was 2 holes back. When I finished, there were lots of folks on the putting green waiting to get out. This is a great course to play money games on, but my hunch is that because a lot of people seemed to be waiting to be called to the first tee to do just that, the pace of play is likely on the slower side during peak hours. Staff was mostly attentive and friendly save one....no big deal, he just seemed aloof.

Overpriced!

$90 for a round of golf on a Par 3 course and a $12 hot dog? I know I’m frugal but that’s ridiculous. PT Barnum had a line about fools and we got fooled. Oh well, even at 70 years old I have things to learn!

Everyone needs to know this is a par 3 course

They should clarify this is a par 54 course for the price they charge would would expect a par 72 course

Thank you for joining us. There are several mentions when booking tee times on line and on our website. We offer an upscale golf resort experience and happen to have all Par 3's. We apologize that you weren't aware.

You Have To Play This Course!

I made the mistake of making a birdie on the first hole of this course long on my bucket list. What followed was a remarkable thrill ride set against remarkable views of Camelback Mountain and the adjacent landscape. The greens were a handful, but rolled like the best courses in the area. Challenging lengths and pristine bunkers provided a true test. I waited over five years to play this course during Winter trips to the Valley. My return will be much sooner! Great value. Friendly staff. Terrific amenities.
