Average
Nice enough 36 hole layout in the flatlands, but nothing to write home about. We played on a rainy day so the pace was great but they had no amenities - no towels, no covers for your clubs, no GPS, very few marked sprinkler heads. Layouts were challenging enough, there was a fair bit of length, and the greens were very nice but overall this was an $80 course, so even considering the hundred dollar inflation you pay for every course in the area, value felt short.
Not a good value for the money
We played the south course and although it's a decent course, just not a good value for the money.
Course good
No problem with course. Club house under repair. 2 carts stopped running on me. New carts supposedly coming.
The Grill
Disappointed in the clubhouse and the restaurant. Not sure if it is temporary but that is what it seems. Also, when I finished at around 5:00 the grill was closed up and couldn't even stop on for a beverage
Great course
It was my first time in this course. The condition was very nice. I totally recommend this course
Solid course for a hot deal price
Great course for the hot deal prices nothing more. Fairways and rough were very green. Although the green were hard as a rock and pretty quick. It’s a sweet little feel good course. 260 yard par 3 is definitely a good little challenge! (From the tips)
Wide Fairways
If you want to regain confidence off of the TeeBox, this is the place to do it. Widest fairways I have ever seen! Well managed and a fun track.
Overall very nice
We enjoyed it! The greens were a little hard and sandy but besides that no complaints. Would definitely play here again
Great course. Definitely like the south course better than the north.
Not good, especially for Scottsdale area
Course, especially greens, were in terrible condition. Being arated. Course was very flat but wet in many areas to the point it was very difficultnot to chunk your shot. I would not recommend this course, especially while they're under construction.
Aerated greens made it not as great
Usually this course is awesome, but the aerated greens made it not as great this time around. Hopefully in a few weeks it’ll be back to normal
Bad Experience ….
That was pretty much the most boring golf course I've ever played. 18 holes kinda straight. Hardly any traps, no water. Extremely slow game, Marshall present but not intervening. Clubhouse under construction. Pictures on the website do not match reality. Simply too expensive for what is offered.
Hot Deal Worth It
A wide open track but you need some previous play to know where to hit. Fun time. I found a Hot Deal in GN. Don’t know if I’d pay full freight. There’s better courses for the regular fee.
Great Day at Talking Stick
One our favorite courses in Phoenix. Always in goodshape and have never had a pace of play issue.. Had a great lunch in the Casino prior to the round. Looking forward to when the club house remodel is done.
Don’t wait to order your beer
The beer carts were literally off the course at 5pm with 90 minutes of sunshine left.. they need to extend their hours
