Whirlwind Golf Club (Cat Tail) - $$$$
Chandler, AZ
Reviewed by: mikelgabe, Tucson

Played this course for the first time on 7/20/2008. It is an interesting layout. Was supposed to play up in Prescott, but a heavy rainfall came, and on the way back to Tucson stopped to play here because my wife has "always wanted" to play at WildHorse Pass. The rain that was hitting Prescott when we left had already come through Phoenix, so it was a very humid day, keeping people away from the course. We pretty much had things to ourselves. There was a 3-some 2 holes in front of us, and a 2-some 2 holes behind us .. It was very relaxed. This course is not particularly challenging . . it's actually a pretty easy course if you hit the ball even semi-straight. The rough was cut short enough that playing out of it wasn't hard at all. They had recently aereated the fairways, so they were a little rough, but I would hazard a guess that when they're back to "normal" then they'll be great. As it was, they were very playable. The greens are pretty large and flat. There are some that have some undulation to them, but for the most part, they're pretty flat. They rolled very true, and held shots without any problem. We played at the "after 10am summer rate" of $45 which may be a little steep considering they'd aeraeted recently, but I don't feel cheated. There's a nice mix of water holes, desert holes with forced carries, and all fairway holes. Landing areas are wide and the pins weren't tucked away in some god awful have-to-make-a-shot-of-a-lifetime to get to them. I'll play the course again . . after it's had a chance to grow in a little bit.

Antelope Hills Golf Course (South) - $$
Prescott, AZ
Reviewed by: mikelgabe, Tucson

Played this course for the 2nd time ever on 7/18 as part of a scramble event. Even though it was humid, the July temperatures were a very nice change from the 100+ degree temperatures in Tucson. This is a Gary Panks designed course, so that means bunkers off the tee, and more bunkers protecting the greens. The course was in very nice shape. The fairways were lush and green, the "rough" was cut to about 2" so there isn't really a problem playing from off the fairway. This is the newer of the Antelope Hills courses, and although it runs through a housing area, you never feel crowded or in danger of driving the ball into someone's yard. There is a nice mix of short and long par 4's. There are very few forced carries off the teebox. Panks did a nice job on a couple of holes of creating blind tee shots to put a little anxiety into the 1st time course player, but there's really plenty of landing area beyond the blind spots. The par 3's are a bit on the short side, with the longest being only 213 yards and the shortest playing 151Y. With the exception of #12 the par 5's are pretty reachable in two so there are plenty of chances for birdies. All in all, this is a nice course for a muni. Nothing special, but you won't leave thinking you didn't get your money's worth!

TPC of Scottsdale (Champions) - $$$$
Scottsdale, AZ
Reviewed by: Isoceles, Scottsdale

Played 7/20. Got a good online rate of $37 + tax. I reviewed this course last month and everything I said that was good still stands. The course is in the best shape of anything I have played this summer. I have since added it to my favorites. Greens have come back great since they were aerated. They are firm, fast, & true. Staff & service were excellent. Nice practice facility. If you are a mid to low handicapper this course will challenge you.

SunRidge Canyon Golf Club - $$$$
Fountain Hills, AZ
Reviewed by: rmehl999, Anthem, AZ

Played Sat 7/19. Real nice layout with good views. Course was not in the best of shape. Winter rye in rough was mostly dead and slopes were many times bare. A lot of blind shots on this course. It had GPS but still needed more local knowledge. Would really like to play this during September again before the prices get ridiculous. Did not use the range but the practice putting green was NOTHING like the course. The greens on the course seemed to be inconsistent in speed. Could be because of all the rain that we had lately. I consider myself a decent - good putter but I had no clue on that day. Would rate this more of an incomplete due to not using all of the facility and playing with some really bad (think 120 - 130) golfers. Notwithstanding, the layout is very picturesque and challenging, will try again in the future.

Dove Valley Ranch Golf Club - $$$
Cave Creek, AZ
Reviewed by: rmehl999, Anthem, AZ

Played yesterday Sunday 7/20 at 8:10 AM. Previous reviews and online sources are right on with difference between front and back nines. The front is more links style, pretty open and MUCH easier (shot a 41). The back is the type where you have a GPS and still don't know where / how far to shoot the ball. Desert target golf. Love it or hate it. Need to play the back nine several times as I seemed to put it through several fairways. The GPS unit on cart is the older style, i.e doesn't give you much info. For example they tell you how far the fairway runs out but no info to the front of a trap to the right. Makes for a painful quesstimation. All in all ended up with a 49 on the back. You score on the front and hold on for the back nine (FYI, have a 21 handicap so I played well but would have shot 3 - 5 strokes less with better GPS or more course insider info). The ranger / starter was a very kind gent from Boston. Cart girl was by often and seemed pleasant. Dove Valley uses 8 minute tee times and that is not nearly enough for the back nine. Our round took just under 5 hours. Wayyyy too long. Been playing the likes of Vistancia, Lookout and many others in a hair over 4 hours on the weekends. The practice facility gets a B- overall. Range does not tell you distances but a friend had a laser range finder. The targets are surrounded by hard pan so the range is definitely not too great. They charge $2 for about 25 balls. Should be included as many others in PHX do. The highlight of the practice facility is the practice green and chipping green. Played VERY much like the course. Sooo helpful when you can warm up / tune short game and then go play similar greens during round. Overall, I would give course a B- / C+ but definitely would go back during the week. Perhaps if you could get on for less than $30 and play in 4 - 4:15 hours, this course would be a strong B+.

Poston Butte Golf Club - $$
Florence, AZ
Reviewed by: patd33, Santa Barbara

Played 7/19 on a humid AZ day. As a result, there were mosquitos everywhere, which I did not expect in AZ and made for a very challenging/annoying round. Without factoring in mosquitos (which I was told is not always the case), the course and facilities were in great shape, typical for a Troon managed course. 17th is just like TPC island green. I would play again, but ask about mosquitos before making the long trek down there.

Legend at Arrowhead - $$
Glendale, AZ
Reviewed by: Isoceles, Scottsdale

Played 7/15 for the first time. Paid $23 which included lunch. I was really surprised at the condition of the course. I had read some recent reviews, and heard some good things. First the GOOD... They let our group go early, even though we had the 10:00am lunch deal. The course is a nice layout, where you can see most of the trouble. It's different than most golf courses that we have around here because 6 out of 9 holes on the front have water, while 3 holes on the back have water. On the Par 4's, take aim @ the 150 yard stakes. Greens were OK, but slow. They were running about 8.5-9. Now the BAD... Most of the Championship tee boxes were not level. Some were only half mowed. The fairway and rough had many bare spots. (We were rolling it onto a good lie if we were in the fairway). Other than the 150 yard stake & a 100 yard plate, it was hard to find any yardages on the sprinkler heads. Most had come off and the carts didn't have GPS. The UGLY... You play this course through a housing development. The houses have no desert space between them and the course. They are right up against the edges of the rough on many holes. If you spray it off the tee, you may be paying for more than your round. Bottom line is... I think I caught the course having a tough summer. I'd try it again in cooler weather.

Heritage Highland at Dove Mountain (Marana) - $$
Marana, AZ
Reviewed by: airfed, Tucson

Was invited by a neighbor to play Heritage Highlands. This course is a 'members only' course during the high season here in Tucson Oct-May but is open to the general public during the summer low season. We paid $39 + tax = $42.16. On the back nine, some of the views were spectacular. It was in exrtemely good condition shown by how the members take care of their course. The greens were not as slow as the attendent said. The pins were always placed with putting as the challange and not the approach shot. I recommend this to all who get a chance to play in Tucson during the summer who want an upscale experience.

Pavilion Lakes Golf Club - $$
Scottsdale, AZ
Reviewed by: Isoceles, Scottsdale

Played in the afternoon of 6/13. Golf course is in bad shape. They can't seem to keep up with basic maintenance. Save your green's fee and play something else. Even playing it for free isn't worth it.
