This was my first time here. I had a 7:06 tee time as a single. I paid $59 plus tax which included cart and range. That was off the course's web site. I arrived too close to my tee time to use the ran... Continue »

Played this course on 2013/02/26. Tee time was at 1245 and we tee'd off at 1315 (45 minute frost delay). We were notified of the delay upon our arrival. Staff at the bag drop were attentive and loaded our bags on carts. we each got a bag of range balls and were directed to the range. Big range, putting area and chipping. Did not see a practice bunker.

Received a thorough briefing from the starter who had made up 15 minutes of time from the frost delay. The tee sheet looked fairly full and I appreciate how difficult it is to make up time so kudos to him.

The course was in superior shape, very quick greens, and lots of bunkering. There was a cart path only par 4 on the front nine (#3 or #4). Saw the marshal on several occasions . We stayed right on the tail of the foursome in front of us so no issues there. The beverage cart girls were also attentive and we saw them at least twice a side. Comfort stations were distributed throughout the course with water points. We were give a styrofoam cup rather than bottles.

Playability was above average. I would like to have a few shots back on short par 5s which were heavily bunkered in the landing areas. #13, a par 4 was about 300 yards but severely uphill with a false front. The starter had warned us to take adequate club on our pitch into the green due to the false front. I did and was rewarded with a ten footer for birdie which I three putted.

All the par 3s appeared to be downhillers with two with at least a two club drop.

Post round there was a bar and grill with a dining room attached to the club house. We ate dinner here post round. Good food at a good price.

Our round took 4 hrs 45 mins. A little slow but it is a resort style course in high season. Given the frost delay and the number of people on the course, I think the staff did what they could to insure a good pace of play.

I would come back (and will) to this course in a New York minute. It was the highlight of our trip. We came from Goodyear so folks from downtown and east (Scottsdale) will find it a drive but worth the trip. Do not take the 303 Loop to get here as there is mega construction on that route.

Played 3/30/12:
Used to play this course a lot back in 2006 - 2009. It has always been one of my favorite tracks due to several very memorable holes.

In particular there are several good par-4 s on front where you have to shape your shot and be rewarded with hitting a velocity skot in fairway and getting that extra 20 - 30 yards of roll. If you don't do that you get caught up in bunkers all day (which happened to me for many reasons).

The back nine has a great 4 hole stretch which goes solid par 4 wher you had to carry a pot bunker in middle of fway to very protected green, left OB, bailing out right right ensures a bogey at best (#12) --> another very steep uphill par-4 with a severly crowned green with a huge false front (can you say double bogey sitting 30 yards short of the green after your drive??) --> par-3 with a 50 foot elevation drop where the green appears to be a very small target and well protected front left and long OB (btw, it is very deceptive, the green is huge and pretty easy to hit / 2-putt) --> pretty easy par-5 but you have a desert area that almost bisects fway forcing you to carry it. the green is reachable and there are several bailout areas. a very pretty hole. The course ends up with a par-4 where you have to stay left or the ball will runout thru the fway on the right, a par-3 downhill over water and a great finishing hole where a 250 yd. drive (from whites) reaches a downhill portion of the fway and rolls another 50 yards. leaving you an approach over water to a peninsula green.

Course was in very good condition as expected but the greens were a little slower than I had hoped. My recollection was more like 11 on the stimp in the past but it seemed more like 9.5. Thus all of my putts were short. The rolled true except for a few exceptions where they were minimally bumpy (severe downhill par-3 on back and number 17).

The service was good, I explained that I wanted to get out early and they sent me out an hour early with a two-some from Iowa and a member from up the road. The cart service was very good, seeing them about every 3 holes.

IMHO, this course is on par with the Troons / Eagle Mountains / SunRidge and better than Talking Stick / Estrella for about $50 less. I paid $86 with tax for a 1:50 PM tee time during spring break / training on a Friday afternoon.
