I played here 7/5/12. This is just an update . The greens are about 90% back from aeration. They were medium fast and rolled pretty true. The rest of the course is in good shape. I walked the course in the morning for $15 with a Phoenix card. You can't beat it !

I played Aguila on 11/19/11. The course was in great shape and the greens were nice and rolling pretty fast.The layout is probably one of the best in Phoenix for the price.If you can keep your misses to one side you can score well.It's a desert course with alot of bunkers ,so course management will keep it from being a long day.The only negative was the pace of play.The starter wanted us to tee off into the group in front of us and there was another group still on the green. So the 5 hour round wasn't a surprise.

Aguila is in superb condition. For what you pay you are getting more than your money’s worth. I played on Saturday, 8-6-11 at 6:20 am for $26. I used to live near this course and played it several times and they never maintained it. They claimed they kept up with the tees and greens and just left the fairways dormant, but tees and greens used to be sketchy. This was sad because Aguila is a well-designed layout as others have mentioned. Clearly, they have changed their philosophy.

The course was full, and my foursome played in 4 hours 15 minutes. The recent monsoon rains as well as the new maintenance philosophy meant the bermuda was emerald green and lush, with few thin areas.

The course recently spent several million dollars renovating the bunkers. From the pdfs on the course website it appears they removed or made smaller numerous bunkers on several holes ostensibly to improve playability. I have a suspicion that it also makes maintaining the course cheaper, as I have heard sand and maintaining bunkers is more expensive than might be assumed. Either way, as a relatively short hitter few of the fairway bunkers are in play for me. The few sand traps I found myself in around greens were in excellent shape. This is a desert course so there are many desert/waste areas from which there is usually little to no chance of rescue.

Tees as you can see in the photos I attached were lush, well groomed, and level. Greens were in good but not immaculate shape. I’m no expert on green speeds, nor would I hazard a guess on the stimp rating, but I’d say the greens were medium slow probably to keep them green in the summer. My playing partners were curving in some pretty sweet looking putts, and the greens appeared consistent.

There was a starter on the first tee and the course did a good job of getting people going in the morning, but there is no marshal or enforcement anywhere else on the course for pace of play. A foursome will struggle to break 4 hours, and there is no point playing through – the course is full on the weekends. Singles and twosomes will be paired up by the course with other twosomes. I have heard and observed in the past that the course has fewer players throughout the week. I like to have no one in front of me so I usually try to book the first tee time, but with the sun rising at 5:30 am now, that’s a little early for me. At 6:20 as I said, the course is full.

There was ice cold water in jugs at a few of the tees, I don’t recall which ones, but it was not all of them and it seemed to be the ones closest to the clubhouse. There are water fountains paced out on a few holes on both the front and back nine. There is a restroom on the front nine and a restroom on the back nine. The clubhouse is decent and the prices are what you would expect for a golf course. As far as I know there is no beverage cart.

The practice facilities are great as well. There are two putting greens, a full grass covered driving range, and a chipping/pitching green with sand trap.

All in all I was impressed by the improvement at this course, and am considering play a few other City of Phoenix munis to see if they are keeping up this same standard at the other courses.

Played 6/16/11 city course with the set up of a higher end track. Fairways just about perfect looks like sand traps had new sand and ball set up well. Greens were a bit fluffy but nothing severe we think they want to keep it green no complaints tho. Challenging from all sets of tees. No complaints at all for this course

Aguily is a course that will make you work for your money. Just over 6000 yards from the Silver and 7000 from Black (tips). Links course yes. But if you aren't hitting the ball long off the tee and have on target approach shots, you'll find it hard to play par golf. The fairways are deceivingly long and every hole will challenge you with elevation changes througout every hole. Now let's talk about the greens.

If you can't putt, it's going to be a bogey day of golf. You will like this track.

nice layout but will be brown all summer, can be windy, dry, like a dry links course

My home course. The best city of Phoenix course ive played. Wish to see a little more rough growth during the winter, but challenging layout for anyone.

Picked up this tee time on line for $21. This course was in OK shape. It had rained the past couple of days but the course had no standing water of real muddy spots. The fairways were a little on the thin side allong with the greens. Looks like the overseed needs a little more time. The layout was good ant the sand in the traps was quite fluffy. The fairways are narrow with no over seed for the rough. The driving range is closed on Tuesdays mornings till the maintenance is completed so we couldn't warm up. There is a nice chipping area though. This was well worth the fee.
