Desert play, Dec 26, 2008

reviewer: D.R.Warke from Collinsville, IL

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

reviewer: Tim Fontes 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--
