Played here on 7/5 around 3pm for $21. Didn’t see anyone until the 10th hole.
The course was in disappointing shape. The front nine greens were infected with a weed or different type of grass. Also, a lot of bare spots throughout on the greens and in the fairways.
I like this course because of location and the variety of holes but can’t recommend Links right now.

I played the Links today around 1230 at a rate of $29. They charge $10 for range balls but do give more than enough to split with someone else. The range was chewed up and sandy. They’ve installed tur... Continue »

I played the Links today around 1230 at a rate of $29. They charge $10 for range balls but do give more than enough to split with someone else. The range was chewed up and sandy. They’ve installed turf to hit off but just a limited number of space.
Not a lot of play going on the Links but the Adobe looked busier. I was surprised to see the beverage cart out and we saw it twice during the round. They have a number of water stations around the course.
They recently aerated the greens and many have not recovered. The first 6 greens are nearly unplayable with the remaining in better shape but very slow. Many of the greens were nearly bare.
Fairways were mostly good with the normal Arizona June look to them. No real rough to speak of with numerous bare spots. Extra distance to be had with drives rolling out.
I enjoy the Links course because of the hole variety. When the greens recover this course is with it to play. Customer service was very good with employees engaged with the guests.
I would wait awhile before playing to give the greens a chance to recover.

I played early afternoon around 130. Actually quite a bit of play going on but got out as single and joined up with another. Played in under 3 hours as a twosome.

Customer service was good with employees engaged and interested in taking care of the customer.
Course itself was in great Arizona summer shape. Bare spots as expected but still playable. The greens were very slow. It seemed like you couldn't hit a putt hard enough to get to the hole but all greens were the same. Sand traps were awesome with soft sand and nice to hit shots in.
Tee boxes were in poor shape. They contained lots of divot damage, bare spots, and were hard as a rock on many of them. Really the only negative on the course.
Overall the course is worth playing now given it's location and variety of holes. Links is a fun course to play with the last few holes worth the greens fee.

Played the regular tees.
It had been approximately 2 weeks following aeration of the greens and fairways. Due to the aeration, the greens were "shagadelic", meaning slow, bumpy, and difficult to read and gauge speed. I think more sand may have helped. As probably guessed, I struggled putting. Regardless of the greens, the layout was fun. Although not narrow landing areas the trouble lurks just past the trees. Keeping the ball in the fairway is key here. Also, with quicker greens, I could see putting being a challenge. The green designs make for some interesting pin placements, especially on the short par 3's. Also, distance control is premium. The some greens are small and narrow.
Can I ask why the right rough line is right down the middle of the 17th fairway? And, the prime landing area is on a flat shelf on the right side of the fairway, IN THE ROUGH. That was weird.
Overall, a fun course with challenging greens at a quicker pace.

Outstanding course!!! The course winds through a very exclusive community but the houses don't really come in to play... The course was in outstanding shape... There are a lot of dog leg holes with short par 5's that are difficult to attack... The Par 3's aren't very long but the greens are difficult... Number 14 is a driveable par 4 but you have to go over some very large trees and cut the corner, it's tougher than it looks... Number 15 is an elevated Par 3 that give great views of the valley... The Links course will force you to play golf, not just grip it an rip it... The sand is very, very soft so if you get in there, expect it to plug... Great course, well worth the green fee...
