My third stop was in Prescott where I could get in some golf while visiting friends. I’ve played the other two courses in Prescott so decided to play here. They have 2 courses. We chose the South course, which at 5570 yds from the reds was more doable for me than the North course at 6006.

The clubhouse was nice with a very large, and apparently quite popular) restaurant. The pro shop was surprisingly well stocked with great prices on clothing, gloves and the like. I was charged the resident rate of $41 (they never asked) and one of my friends, who was just riding along, wasn’t charged at all.

This is an older, basic, no-frills course, completely different than where I just played the previous day. There was no GPS but yardage was well marked with colored poles. It would have been helpful if there was at least a map of the holes on the card as we had to guess a little where some of the dog-legged holes were going. There were very few trees.
The fairways and rough are dormant. I think the fairways may have been painted earlier, but green grass was starting to grow and the coverage was good. The rough was only a fraction longer than the fairway and also in good shape. The greens were hard and fast. They ranged from small, relatively flat to a couple that were so large and undulating, you could get seasick trying to figure out the line! A few bunkers had some sand, but most seemed to be pebbly dirt. There were a lot of mounds and swales that really made the course a lot of fun. POP was 4 hours.

I’d definitely play here again when I’m in the area. I’d like to see it when it’s green.

Played July 25. Played north course day before. This is more of a links style course, trees few and far between. Since it was hot it was very uncomfortable to not to be able to park in the shade once in awhile. All courses in Arizona should have trees next to tees and greens. My personal beef. Course in very good shape for muni, greens putted well and had only one bad lie in fairway. Sand traps were soft with lots of heavy sand. Some houses but not in play or distracting. Farther from airport so planes not a problem. I also played Talking Rock near here using my OB card. Course not listed here because private. Very nice course with flat front nine ans hilly and challenging back nine.
