So much wasted potential.... still a good value Played here last Friday at 2:30 POP 3:30 This is a coworkers local track and he convinced me to come out. I had read that this was actually a good layout but kind of a dog track and was down to play. My thoughts are a course depends on the value. We played for $18 with a cart so from a value standpoint this is a good value. The current condition is sh-t . There's patchy crab grass everywhere. You will even get a wicked lie just off the green with the ball resting under a patch of crab grass sprout. The greens were recovering from a punch so they were trash. The course is your basic municipal dog track condition wise. It is the middle of summer so can't blame them. There is actually thick rough which is a welcome relief here in the desert. Very hard to come by. However, the layout is actually amazing. The bones of this course are oozing with potential. It is an Arnold Palmer course and it shows. The tips are over 7,000 yards which shocked me (I was expecting a short 6,600 muni) It feels like a palm springs course. It winds through a housing track with great mountain vistas, which doesn't make you feel you are boxed in by the homes. There are palm trees and water hazards galore. The course has mature trees and top notch dog leg risk rewards holes. The bunkers are hard packed dirt but you can tell they are beautifully designed. If they put money into this course It could perfectly fit into PGA West rotation. The layout here is that good. The condition not so much. I will play here again as the value and layout are top notch. It is almost like dating a girl with a bad haircut and goofy glass but lots of potential. You get a good value and get to imagine what this course could be in top shape.

Played on Sunday 06 April at 1pm. the course was packed resulting in a 5 hr round. I have played this course before so knew the layout. Greens were in excellent shape, lots of contour with sloping from back to front. Greens were hard which I would expect for early April on a hot day. Fairways were tight and lush. The rough was dried out and cut short. Bunker sand was indifferent in that some greenside bunkers had more sand than others. I suspect this is caused by the direction of the prevailing wind which was high, late in the afternoon.There are several restrooms and waterpoints on course. There was a beverage cart that passed by several times that I recall (I consider beverage carts an impediment to the pace of play and tend to ignore them).

Range balls can be purchased prior to the round. There are chipping and putting greens and I believe there was a practice bunker although I did not see it.

I consider this course good value with a green fee under $50.00 which might explain the 5 hr round. I did not pay the extra for the GPS but it came on in the cart anyway. I used my range finder after I found one of the holes had a GPS pin placement that had not been updated

Great course for someone just trying to learn the game! The driving range was average and you hit from the grass. This is an older course but just went through a major renovations, layouts and put better sand on bunkers. Its a very challenging golf course and not much of desert sand to play with, that could hurt and damage your club. But be careful and make sure you watch where your ball lands for it can get tough trying to find it when it landed on those thick grabbing golf ball grass, and you will definitely take time finding your lucky golf ball. There were some minor condition issues when we played (dry fairway areas and unraked traps), but the greens were excellent. The course is in good condition, great layout and the greens are also fast. The fairways are tight so that's the toughest part and biggest challenge. Long intriguing course. Definitely a true test of golf. Awesome staff as well.

This course is well worth what you'll pay to play, and you can get tee time discounts from Golfnow.com, or golfhub.com.

Supposed to tee off at 9:12a, the Monday after X-mas but didn't tee off until after 9:30a. The round was terribly long because it appeared that the group in front of me was getting some type of playing lesson - there was a marshall but he didn't do ANYTHING to push the pace at all. Also, the course just got a new fleet of golf carts so there was no GPS. Finally, the cart girls cart was broken so, although we saw her a few times throughout the round, she wasn't very well stocked.

All in all the course was in pretty good shape. Greens were extremely fast and the bunkers were pretty good. As with most Az courses this time of year, the rough was dormant but the fairways were well kept. The course has some challenging holes and some of the pin placements were obnoxious (a few pins were placed on the ridges on the green). There are a number holes that will not only challenge you to hit it long or hit it smart. There is plenty of water on the course that will also make you think twice about "going for it".

Course is good and worth playing but know that it is intertwined with houses. The cost was reasonable, $57 included a small bucket of balls. The driving range was pretty bad but putting green was OK. I'll play there again.

Teed off about 12:30p on Thursday... Pace of play was good... The course is being worked on, there were a lot of roped off areas keeping carts on the cart path (which isn't a bad thing)... Fairways were a little thin and the rough has quite a few bare spots... Greens were in very good condition... Overall this is a challenging course... the course is not flat and there is a fair amount of water... there are a lot of houses so make sure to hit it straight off the tee... trees lining the course are mature which makes you pay for errant tee shots... I paid $29 for my round which is well worth it.. i recommend this course and, appreciate the work that is being done to improve the condition of the course... finally, the cart girl made it around to us 3 times in 3 1/2 hours... good customer service...

I've been playing this course for 15 years. For the first 14 years this course was absolutely beautiful. Just in the last year it has turned into a goat farm. To start, the range is horrible. The range stations are full of divots and you can't hit off a clean lie. The range grass itself is completely burnt out. Nothing but dead grass and dirt.

I played there today. Tee boxes are not cut properly and full of old divots (par 3's). After teeing off on a Par 4 or 5, you hoped you landed on any green patch of grass. Most lies were on patched grass and exposed dirt, just terrible. Every single green was burnt to a large degree. Most greens were extremely bumpy and inconsistent due to the burnt turf. No. 1 green had the pin cut back left, about three feet from fringe. This green was burnt on the back third and this was the pin placement for today. The rest of the green was somewhat playable, but for some odd reason they put the pin on the worst part of the green. This was the case for most of the holes today.

I used to love playing here. Arnold Palmer design with rolling fairways, plenty of angles and you have to think your way around the course. But, this course has sunk to being nearly unplayable. In other words, the course is challenging enough without the horrible condition it is in. Unless I hear or see differently, I will no longer go to this course as it is no longer fun to play.

Played April 18th/10, hot day. Very very busy course. The first 5 holes take forever to play! pace quickens a bit, back nine moved along well - we were 2 3/4 hours on front and 2 on back. This course is always very busy. Greens are in very good shape, fairly fast and very firm. The greens are very undulating so get your approach shots close to the pin or you'll be facing easy 3 putt. I think that the greens, for the most part are the courses' defence against very low scores. The bunkers are very firm to hard, which is ok for fairway bunker shots, but greenside bunker shots require a variety of shots....and there are LOTS of bunkers on this course. A fair amount of water as well, as a result the course can play quite difficult. I got a bit of luck today and shot 78.

The Greens were as horrid as the practice greens, severe blad spots like putting over sandy concrete. Were Very fast, overbooked the afternoon pairings, took us 2.5 hours for the front nine and was held up by various groups. Did have GPS in the carts I paid 3 extra dollars for it ONLY worked on the first HOLE! Course had some bad spots and Fairways were mainly decent. Would golf again though. Cart girl came by ONCE!

Played on 4/3 in ridiculous wind which slowed up the pace a bit. this is my normal course and it is in great shape after receiving a beating the last few weeks from a Nationwide / Cactus tour stops.

The fairways and greens were in better than normal shape. See my previous review for more info about course layout for Legends.
