Played here last week after work twilight. Kinda of cool they offer an after 5 super twilight rate. Off to a good note. Customer service in the pro shop was excellent here I have to say.

Course is in solid shape. Greens were good and rolled well. Fairways are starting to go for summer. Much more brown and bare spots than I have seen on other courses. Tee boxes were also worn and have had some play. I don't believe I hit it in the sand this day.

This has been the hardest course to review. Sometimes splicing an experience down element by element can take away what is most important in the first place. At the end of the day we play golf to have fun, and this course delivered a fun golf experience. I had a blast playing it.

However, while nothing is bad with this course, it's like three different courses in one with bad design and flow. The best way I can describe it is a few mix matched singles on an album with no flow. The course is too short at 6,004 yards and seemed to be limited on space. It starts off great as you climb into the hills with great views of a true desert course. No 4 is one of the best holes in the valley in my opinion. But then the course turns inland and you have flat house lined holes that feels like a 70s country club. Then there' this bizarre par 3 created in front of the restaurant that was very artificial and out of place. Then the course circles a concrete man made lake covered in moss. Not very scenic nor unique. Then 18 is like a swampy marsh Southern style hole. Very odd mix of holes.

That being said. I had a great time. It's a fun course. It reminds me of Tecolote in San Diego with the holes playing in and out of the canyon. I would rate it as a fun course to play with family and non serious golfers.

Played here last Thursday with a coworker. $45 with the troon card.

I was finally able to play the full North 18. Last summer had routed both front nines.

Greens were sandy and still have the track marks from a punch a few weeks ago. They were not quite healed enough to be puttable. I would say give it two more weeks and the greens will be back to normal.

Tee box to green was great. Almost pure conditions with your standard brown patchy rough areas. Top notch condition for this time of year.

Its a beautiful mature course. The backdrop and scenery are great. Wider fairways and scenic par 3's and manicured tee boxes. It's a shorter more straightforward desert course. It is one of the more mature courses out here and there is no desert recovery here. The South course is definitely the signature course and the one you want to play.

The only unique thing with this side are the blind tee shots from the back tees. Starting with No 10 there are some intimidating blind, nearly blind tee shots you just have to send it over the cactus.

Definitely worth a play during summer. But the N side is not worth a destination trip.

A freak cold spell and summer prices are recipe for a good time. Snagged the 4:50 tee time for $25 and only saw 1 other group the whole round. I had tried to play here last summer. Due to excessive heat and terribly slow play I bailed after nine wand left with a sour taste in my mouth.

This course is a tale of two nines. The front nine is average and too short and congested in my opinion. It is solid but nothing memorable. But wow, the back nine ranks easily the best in the valley. The view from the 10th tee is spectacular. Holes 12, 14, and 16 are awesome holes. Top notch desert golf behind the rugged backdrop of the nearby mountain. 14 is a top hole in Phoenix in my opinion. After being eased to the finish with easier straight forward holes 18 is a great finisher.

The greens were near perfect. Firm and quick but not too fast. Very few ball marks. Sand was great. A little coarse and scare in some but mostly consistent. Holes were fun because you get great member bounces off the raised edges and the grass was mown thin so the balls collected down in the fairways. Some of the fairways have some small arears under repair. Looks like some minor resoding is nearing completed in some small areas. Fairways had many brown spots, but to be expected leading into summer.

Great conditions at an awesome value. Eagle Mountain back is spectacular I want to be back. I would rank it as a tamer more player friendly SunRidge Canyon with more extreme desert style golf holes.

Played here last Friday. Weather and price were a dream come true. Freak cold spell during summer here in Phoenix. Was actually cold in the morning.

First time playing the Pinnacle side, and I have to say I prefer the other side better. I think the mountain holes push the other side over the top. However between the two it is definitely personal preference. The pinnacle is a much more mature course that blends more naturally into the surroundings. It requires a touch more accuracy as the holes wind through the terrain. Few holes allow driver and being in position is most important here. The Pinnacle providers a much more classic refined desert course vs the more extreme Monument side.

Conditions were pure. Fairways were carpet. A few muddy sections from the rain but the rest was near perfect. Greens were rolling true. Some holes had some divot damage from the heat but near perfect greens. Could have been a hair faster.

Bunkers are a little coarser here but extremely consistent and plenty of sand.

Only downside were a few of the tee boxes were lumpy / uneven.

Had the pleasure of being invited to play here yesterday. I have been dying to play this re-designed track once the prices fell for summer. Wow this course is awesome.

This course is Troon Management at its finest. Suburb customer service, amenities, plush new carts. They have done a lot of smaller touches that dont go unnoticed. Such as retro ball rollers on the practice pitching green. The new resort is immaculate and the course pairs with it perfectly and like a fine Chianti Classico.


This course is a tale of two distinct nines. The front nine is more open and reminiscent of a Palmer design in Palm Springs. The water elements, plam trees, beautifully manicured bunkers and aprons were a welcome relief from the harsh desert landscape in Phoenix. The tee boxes were immaculate. A little firm due to being knew but flat as a pool table. Fairways were great. Some yellow patches but overall manicured perfectly and consistent throughout. The bunkers were outstanding. A nice consistent fluffy soft layer of premium crushed granite made for easy shots. The only downside were the greens are new and firm so you have to be very strategic with your approaches. You cant pin attack and spin it close here a lot like a US open greens. I relished the challenge and was able to test my short game touch and imagination.

The greens are very undulated and had very difficult pin positions today. While the holes seems straight forward here I is difficult to score and the green complexes are the course' primary defense. And a stout defense they are. Great mix of dog legs and elevation changes coupled with fun reachable par 5s.

While the front nice is a pleasant resort course. The back nine is special and where the Phoenician shines. Amazing views of the city with holes nestled along the base of Camelback Mountain. It features some challenging elevated par threes with some shorter attackable par fours. The greens on the back have some serious slope and there are no gimmie putts. The final par 5 18 is a blast to play. It's a risk reward dogleg you can cut the corner of to a water protected green with water running along the entire right side of the hole. It reminds me of Indian Wells very much which is not bad company.

A must play and I cant wait to get back with course knowledge of the greens.

Had the worst golf experience here in my last 2 years. I would highly recommend avoiding this place if you want a quick round, or want to play on time. They pack people like sardines here.

I went first off on the back nine as a single at 5:30 am. Then they started sending groups out one the front nine at 6 so I ran into lap traffic. They had a tournament start at 7 so I was only able to get 15 holes in. I have also heard from numerous people the same issues. So it's partially my fault. But be warned they pack groups out here like sardines.

I like the layout, but it was poor conditions this morning. It was an absolute mud bowl. Flooded cart paths. Ponds in bunkers. The greens were soggy and recovering from a punch. Rolled okay but lots of trimmed glass clumps.

Tons of dead spots. Yellow areas. Mud pits. Generally poor conditions across the board. The place is not cheap either. There was no mention of a tournament on their website, but it gladly took my money and reserved 18 for me, although when I showed up at 5:30 they only wanted to let me play 9. I then let them know I know how to play quick and can finish 18 in 1.5 hours but the starter proceeded to tell me that's impossible and argue with me. The cart girl is real nice and a great employee and tried to talk me off the ledge at the end of the round, but it was too little too late.

Conditions there are horrendous there right now. Go elsewhere.

Played here yesterday at 2:50 with a coworker on a teeoff.com deal (Site is getting better)

I really enjoy this course but this is one of those ASTERISK courses where you have to manage your expectations and take the good with the bad.

It cracks me up that Lookout Mountain is a Troon managed course. This is definitely the pimply redheaded stepchild of Troon courses. I don't think they could have a more confusing set up if they tried. Goofy does not describe it's a dumpster fire. I was talking with the manager in the tee shop as I waited for my partner because it is impossible to find if you haven't been there before. He was trying to sell me on them not having space etc. But I was voicing my opinion on how the setup, amenities, and pro shop of this place are an absolute joke and unacceptable for a Troon course. The course has potential to be one of the best, if they just put some lipstick on this pig, however the economics may not make sense.

This course has THE worst opening hole in the entire valley. With the biggest eye sore of a drain next to the first green. I don't want to continue to be negative. But just wipe everything about the first hole from your mind when you play. The next two are ho hummers.

I've only played this course during summer, but wow is this course way more fun when the conditions aren't rock hard.

The greens are near immaculate now. They were soft without being mushy. They were absolutely smooth as glass. They were rolling. Only one hole had ballmarks I noticed. I made 5 birdies and burned two more edges from deep.

The fairways are lush right now. There were some yellow spots and some bare spots around the green but nothing egregious. In most cases there was perfect lush grass around all greens.

Tee boxes were lush and minimal divots. Bunkers were more course sand but consistent.

With the recent rain, all the flowers and trees were in full bloom. It was a perfect day and the course was stunning. The par 3's here are epic. My favorite in the valley. I love the elevation changes here, and elevated greens. All the greens here slope from back to front, with some very severe. During summer they are rock hard which adds quite a degree of difficulty because a few of the greens are tiny slivers.

The key here is to stay below the hole on all holes and you will score. The soft greens made for easy scoring. The course is a blast to play. I think it's one of the best values in the valley. Go into it knowing its a train wreck to begin but turns into one of the best with some of the funnest reachable par 5's you can play. Must play right now.

Played here 2 weekends ago taking advantage of the Underpar deal.

This course is sweet. We played directly after the rain so it couldn't have been more lush. It's as pure, pure desert golf you can find. Tee boxes were immaculate, every bit of grass was lush and cut perfectly. The dormant rye around the bunkers was perfect. Great bunkers. Greens are fast but not not unfair. You can tell it is a modern course design and it really shows. While there are lots of forced carriers, ravines etc nothing is overly difficult in that aspect and the multiple tee options can properly fit a skill level. The course' main defense fortress like green complexes. All of them are elevated, heavily bunked, multi tiered undulating, slick greens. Improperly placed approaches or pitches will roll off or roll past where you initially started.

That being said. I have played here during summer summer and while it plays 7800 yards from the tops depending on the rotation (27) it didn't feel unfairly long.

However with soggy conditions the 7800 yards played more like 8800. With zero roll on the drives, sticky thick rough around the greens, with no roll up, this might have been the most difficult course I have ever played with those conditions. We had to play half the par 4's as 3 shot holes.

This course is a must play in the Tucson area. I highly recommend playing the correct tees here though to your driving distance. You also need to be prepared to hit hit long irons.

I got a coworker to come with me and play the Stadium at twilight before they shut it down here quickly.

Scottsdale was recently hit with a extreme cold spell, rain, and frost. The course was immaculate a few weeks ago. But it looks like the cold spell killed the grass in the divots, and ball marks. The course was showing a lot of damage in the aprons around the greens. Still in great shape but not the flawless tour quality at the moment. I'm sure when they shut it down for a few weeks it will be perfect for the pros.

The stadium is finished. You have to play it once in your life. No other shot in golf like it that has the same feel. I understand TPC Scottsdale gets a bad rap because it doesn't tie in to any natural features of the land and definitely has the artificial feel to it. I love seeing different golf courses take courses to different extremes IE the gauntlet that is PGA West Stadium, the untouched natural beauty of a Rustic Canyon links style, or the over the top flair bunkering of Faldo design course.

The finish here is exhilarating. To be able to go for an island par 5 in two on 15. Then a makeable hole in one look at the short 16th. Then an easily drivable par 4. Followed by a risk reward finish on 18. (Lay up with a 3 wood or flirt the death pew bunkers on the left and try to split the fairway with a driver to set up an attackable birdie) You can finish with 4 birdies in a row easily.

I think it's fun to have a course that isn;t stuck in the past and has a different golf experience offered.

I have been dying to play this course and finally did last Saturday.

I am going to be harder on Eagle Falls than most courses as the competition is stiff in Palm Springs with world class golf destinations down the street.

Eagle falls is a hidden gem and a very unique concept. Every golfer at least once needs to play Palm Springs in peak season. The weather and mountain backdrop can't be beat. The fact you can play a premier course in Palm Springs in peak season for $95 rack rate on Saturday morning can't be matched. Eagle Falls offers spectacular backdrops of the mountains.

However, the best thing with Eagle Falls is that it may only appeal to hard core golfers. (This makes it great for us, because it keeps the tourists and cost down)

If you come from the east entrance it's scary. It feels like you are driving down a street in Baghdad. The road is destroyed. There is zero curb appeal. The parking lot is tore up, the signs are weak, and the pro shop is an old portable. My friends were concerned with me when they showed up. The pro shop is bare bones. It's a depressing site in the snack shop. DO NOT EAT THE FOOD HERE. I had the worst breakfast burrito of my life here and we all agreed this was the worst food we have ever eaten at a golf course. The staff joking says they keep the money on the course and want people to go to the casino versus eating here, which makes sense to allow $95 tee times.

The practice facility is awesome. Driving over the bridge to the course is exhilarating. I don't like to be negative on reviews but this golf course needs a new starter. That guy was the most obnoxious long winded guy I have ever dealt with and basically harassed us as we tried to putt and warm up. Before we went off I was talking with him on how I write reviews and how much my buddies and I play. Then before we go off he proceeds to talk to us like we are 8 year olds who have never played golf in our lives for a good 10 minute speech. It was horrendously awful and needs to be stopped and changed by management. He got our hole group nice and annoyed before we teed off.

Now the golf course is absolutely epic! The conditions are near perfect here. My friend said this his new favorite course and one mine as well. It's nice and wide open and fun. Not overly penal. The holes spectacular as well. The turf is just one notch down from being tour level perfect. The sand is very consistent to hit out of, but is a dirty course rock and isn't the high end fluffy stuff. We all commented on how the greens were absolutely perfect and the perfect speed. The greens were easily the top 3 greens I've ever putted on competing with Pasatiempo and Pumpkin Ridge. Our group only noticed one bounce the entire day on a spike mark.

The 18th hole is an amazing show stopper. Pace of play was unbelievable for a Saturday we never waited once. It terms of pure golf it doesn't get any better than Eagle Falls.

If you are looking for amenities look elsewhere.

Played super twilight here tonight. The course is in really good shape.

I drive by the view of this course every day on my way home. I haven't played here since summer but had to get out after seeing how green the course is.

The reseed set extremely well here. Greens rolled well, medium speed, held well.

Sad playing here during a winter evening with the soft conditions. My drives had lost 30 yards of carry versus when I had played here during summer. It definitely made the course more of a shotmakers course from the tips.

I don't mind the power lines and I always enjoy playing here. Friendly design with some fun holes and enough challenge.

Played here twilight during the week last week. Stadium is PURE

It's cart paths only and they have begun erecting the scaffolding on the closing holes. The bare bones of the stadium is up and you get to walk through the tunnel into the arena. It's quite a feeling hitting a shot even inside the scaffolding.

The conditions are just about as pure as it gets. The bunkers look refreshed from the maintenance. They rough is super thick and tasty as they grow it out. Greens were near perfect. Fairways have fair amount of divots and some wear which is the only thing holding it back before being tour ready. It is quite a difference when you play on tour quality grass and sand.

Currently caddies are required during the day and the price is steep. But it is beginning to have the tour feel.
