Definitely not worth the money (approx $150)

Very disappointed in condition of course for what I paid to play. Very thin or no grass everywhere except right around green where it was then too wet often with puddles. Sand traps were way below acceptable with
Hard packed sand not turned over for who knows how long. Greens were acceptable and rolled true. I have played city courses for half the price that were better than MR since I have been down here. Not going back.

Overall, not bad

Staff were friendly and efficient. Pace of play wasn’t an issue. The front is in good condition but the back, not so much. Range fills up quickly so you might be out of luck if you want to warm up before your round. Price is what it is for winter golf in Scottsdale.

Great layout!

If you want a challenge with the beautiful vistas that Scottsdale has to offer, this is the course for you!
The “Pine” course is a great layout that will challenge golfers of all abilities. It’s a course where hopefuls qualify for the WASTE MANAGEMENT TOURNAMENT!

Good value

Enjoyed my 2nd round here, playing both the Palm and pine. Course was a little more lush, fairways and greens on the pine, lots less water. Palm was more challenging, played both from tips. Green break more than anticipated. A few green with lots of slope make for almost unfair pin placements. Cart guys are nice, club house guys don’t seem to want to be there. Great practice facilities; range, two chipping greens and putting green. Not enough sand in bunkers however, so even with a good shot, club bounces into the ball, so that was frustrating. Overall I enjoyed both courses, would play pine again.

Very nice course

The staff is very friendly & helpful. Course is well maintained for how much traffic they have. Pace was very good. We didn’t have to wait on a tee box once nor did we have anyone waiting on us. Will definitely consider this course when we are in the area again.

Horrible Course Conditions

I NEVER leave negative reviews but I felt compelled to leave a negative review on this course. I played the Palm course and I will never go back. This course could be nice if they put some money in maintaining it. The grass is awful, the cart paths are old and rough. The only positive was the greens, they were pretty nice. I would NOT recommend this course to anyone with these conditions.

Nice course

The fairways and greens were nice, but the rough was hard as a rock with little grass. Lot's of tight lies and dirt spots in the rough. The practice facilities are very good. They had multiple beverage carts running so they came around a lot which was great.

Expected More!

I was left unimpressed for the most part. The Greens were the best feature of this course. Outside of that, the course is not worth the price tag being offered. I didn’t leave with any feeling of wanting to come back and play this again. If you’re going to pay $100-$300 for a round of golf play TPC or one of the other courses.

Like lay out of course but value for money paid compared to other courses in area are better.

Staff did not seem like they cared to be there or be working. Horrible attitudes and horrible customer service with exception of one beer cart server. Asked about girlfriend riding and scoffed and charged obsorbinant amount for a 3rd cart…. $50 + tax after already paying over $150 for a round with cart!?!?!?… do it recommend… cave creek have better greens and more friendly staff for over 1/2 the cost less.
