This course has water hazards on at least eight holes. The fairways are fairly open, and the course is predominantly flat. The longest hole is #11, a 570-yard, par 5, which is extremely difficult to reach in two shots. The Western Canal flows right through the center of the course and can affect your shots on certain holes.

Desert play, Dec 26, 2008 |
| reviewer: D.R.Warke

| I liked this course very much. For a city run golf course it was very well taken care of. This is a "wack-a-ball" course. Nice and wide fairways lined with big trees and par-5's. The scenery was outstanding for this Mid-west boy!!! They even had some swimsuit models doing a photo-shoot outside the back-nine when I was there. That slowed up the play for a bit!!! |

Solid muni course, Jun 26, 2005 |
| reviewer: Craig
from Scottsdale, AZ, USA |
| This course has forgiving fairways, but not easy fairways. By that I mean that you get away with a small hook or slice, but a large one causes problems. With the mature landscaping on this course, those problems frequently include trees. As I found out 3 times in one hole. :)) The greens were OK. They had just been sanded at the beginning of the week, and it showed, but they were still very playable. It was nice to see a muni course taking care of maintenance even during the summer. There practice area, including putting green, is large and very well kept. The pro shop was also decent. There is a restaurant on site, but I didn't visit it. The only negative was the typical one for muni courses - pace of play. Even on a Sunday afternoon in the summer heat, the course was full. The price was very good - summer rates were $18.50 for 18 holes and a cart. Actually, this was better than 'very good'. Overall, this course provides an excellent value - good course for a great price. I heartily recommend this course for all levels of players. |

Affordable and Excellent golf experience, Jul 08, 2004 |

from Tempe, AZ |
| Finally got on the course after being a Tempe Resident for some time. The course was in great shape, and we were happy to see some Par 5's on a city course. Will definitely be coming back to enjoy this course for a while. Had a great time-- |

| both challenging and spacious the lush and inviting course provides myself and my compadres a challenge while still forgiving those of us with a slice or hook. solid greens and clean cut fairways worthy of a course that would cost three times as much, a tru fickle golfers dream! |

 Solid Course, May 04, 2004 |

| Mature trees, fair course. Fairways in good shape, as are greens. Fairways are fairly flat, and roughs aren't too tough, except that you'll sometimes get behind trees. |

Good course for the money., Jan 23, 2004 |
| reviewer: Bill Williams
from State Center, IA |
| Played this course a couple of times last visit to area. Was always use to paying $70 plus at other courses. Was surprised and enjoyed this course. It just goes to show that you don't have to spend big bucks to enjoy a round of golf. Will be playing this course again when I come down this spring. |
