Longbow Golf Club

Phone: (480)807-5400Fax: (480)807-2576

This course was named after the Apache Longbow, a military attack helicopter that Boeing develops across the street from the course. The layout features a mix of long and short holes that skirt across rolling desert scrub land. The designer made good use of natural washes that run through the property. One of the more difficult holes on the course is #5, a 489-yard, par 4, which requires two solid shots to reach the small, well-bunkered green. The fairways are firm and many of the greens are left open at the front, enabling golfers to run up their approach shots. The 5,626-yard men's tee also has a ladies' course rating of 71.5 and a slope of 120.

Was better before changes, Jul 21, 2004

reviewer: golf around from Maui, Hawaii

The greens are very hard, and the tee boxes are only 1" deep. You can't even tee up a ball. I just was not impressed.

This course was awesome, Mar 11, 2004

reviewer: Dean Buffoni from Danbury,CT

I loved this course except I couldnt find the fairway at all. I had never played a desert style course before, I guess I should stay away from them. I got to see the local flora and cacti up close on this track because thats where my balls were flying into. This course is set up great, very tough if you dont find the fairways, great greens, smooth, ball roll was perfect. A real jewel in the desert....Highly Recommended!!!!

Andover Golf & Country Club
"One of the Best"
Andover is certainly one the best course in the region. It is very challenging as well as one of the most beautiful courses around. The greens at peak season are like glass, the roughs will chew you up and cost additional strokes and the narrow fairways boarded by homes will make you shiver. Your score is determined how well you can over come the fear of taking a full swing or whimp out just to keep it in play. Not being an extra long course makes you contemplate the great shots instead of the smart ones. When you make a mistake take the bogey and go on to the next hole.

Oasis Golf Club - Oasis Course
"Not good any more."
The descripion of this course is 5 to 6 years outdated. It is not connected with the Oasis casino or the Palms golf course. Several of the holes have been changed to allow for more housing. The greens are one notch above sand greens. If you pay more than $50.00 to play it you paid too much.

Lakeside Golf Course
"Great Value; Conditions"
This course is great for the price. The greens keeper has done an excellent job. He keeps the greens fast, the fairways immaculate, and the rough is even starting to affect play. This course has a great layout. If your in the area this is the best course to play.

Cheraw State Park Golf Course
"Always a pleasure"
Having played this course each year for the past 10 years or so, it is always on my play list. Beautifully maintained, a challenge to play, overall relaxed round of golf. If you haven't played it, make sure you do!
