Haven't played here in a few years. Early pm tee time on a Friday. No starter. Place has fallen into disrepair. Fairways are chewed up, full of potholes. Hard to distinguish between fairways and rough. Dirt mounds, weeds everywhere. Cart paths are an adventure as bounce around in and out of holes. Greens in best condition of any area on course. Green fee was appropriately low considering the lack of attention paid to maintenance. Smooth fairways are long gone. There are barbershop size poles in middle of fairways as distance markers. I hit one and ball ricochet sideways. Why aren't they located on border of fairways? Pro shop shelves half empty. Personnel were understanding when I found empty ball machine for range. Got another ticket no hassle and machine was filled up in timely manner. Pace good at 4 hours.

Played out here on a nice saturday. The course is in fair shape overall but is playing very hard with all the growth out here. The rain has helped this place cover all the areas you used to be able to miss and still find your ball, now it is very much a target golf course.

Everything was good, greens rolled nicely but had a few areas that had been repaired/replaced and it caused the ball to take a few weird bounces. Fairways were in great shape with good lies all around and the rough was not very penal, but again, miss a fairway and likely you can't find your ball.

Traps good and saw the cart lady on both 9's for the value, this course is great.

Played Saturday, 5-25, 8:16 tee time. Our 4some teed off on time, and POP was a leisurely 4.5 hours. Greens were pretty smooth and moderate speed, especially on the back 9. No issues with the greens. I wasn't in any bunkers but they looked OK. Fairways were overall fine; not super lush but plenty of good lies especially if you hit good drives. Rough is not penal, and tee boxes were overall fine as well. A good time was had with perfect weather.

Rode the Greens (6621/71.5/130) in 4.5H twilight using Forelinx. Paired with Ed and Heather, we waited on most holes. The weather was in the low 90's, clear and fairly calm.

The course has mostly transitioned back to Bermuda for the summer. Fun Nick Faldo design with generous landing areas for most tee shots. Few forced carries. Great variety of holes. Several par 4's I can barely get there with 2 solid shots, other risk/reward shorter par 4's I can almost get there in one good shot. The par 3's offer a good variation in length and look.

The tees were mowed close, with only a few needing divot attention.

The fairways were semi lush and firm. Well maintained, mowed low, nice to play from.

The rough was mostly lush, not overly tall and nice to chip out of.

Numerous traps on this course are large, deep, and need to be avoided by most amateurs. The green side sand traps were well maintained with good quality white sand. Some fairway traps are waste bunkers & less maintained.

The large Bermuda greens have lots of break/undulation. Rolling well at medium fast speed, they were firm but held approach shots with some run out. Usually no significant ball marks because of their firmness.

The customer service was very good from everyone encountered. Drink cart out and around numerous times. Water stations on the course every couple of holes. Nice GPS on the carts. Excellent practice facility is all grass and includes balls with your fee. Recommended.

5/24 using teeoff deal time $17 rate--POP 350 but felt longer as we waited on the 4some we caught on 6 then really waited on a deliberate "we play slow and dont care" 2some that let them through on 9.
to be fair they did offer to let us go but my partner thought we would just get sandwiched, but after watching their behaviors I was going to ask if the offer was still good as they were on the white tees on 10. I went up to the blue tee which is 15-20 yards back and 10-15 yards off to the side just check where the 4some was(already on the next tee). At that point this guy starts yelling to not stand behind him and to get back in the cart--so I guess it was not a good time to ask to play through.
Fairways remain in pretty good shape ok lies overall.
rough cut down to about an inch but still a challenge when the ball sank down. Tees not so good mostly thin and some on slopes. In the bunker on 3, looked ok but was groomed sand over hardpack.
Greens medium fast with occasional bumpiness. They have been cut but not yet rolled.
Friendly staff.

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.

This is a very sad review, because it will be the last time I will play Diamond Valley. Effective June 3, 2019 they will be closing down. I inquired as to the reason and was told they do not receive enough weekday play to justify keeping the course open. Loosing any golf course is sad, but I really enjoy this course and will very much miss making the 80+ mile drive to play here.

The condition of the course was much better than I anticipated, as I expected they would have done little in the way of maintenance knowing they were closing, but to my surprise and delight, the course was in decent shape. Greens were very nice, albeit a little slow. Fairways and tee boxes also OK.. The bunkers were awful ! Compacted sand with no recent maintenance showing. Many areas of the rough were equally poor, but if you kept your ball in the fairway and out of the sand, it was a delight to play.

$19.99 with cart to play. That is a bargain. Staff was very accommodating, as were were able to tee off first, about 20 minutes prior to our scheduled tee time. Thank you Diamond Valley for 20 years of enjoyable golf !

Played an early morning round and finished in less than 3 1/2 hours which is great. Difficult course to park and drop off clubs if you are not a resort guest. Good not great service but cart attendants and drink carts were attentive and timely. Driving range has been eliminated and can only warm up in nets now. Practice green is small and is not in good condition. Carts do not have GPS and range finders are difficult to use given blind shots. Needs to have a GPS type range device to pay course effectively. Lots of blind landings and carry to specific spots required. Cart paths are rough. .Course conditions were very good. Greens are slow but in good condition. Fairways were above average for this time of year. Good value and played quickly but likely will not play here again with other choices that are better playing options.

Played today in sloppy conditions. They got a lot of rain yesterday. Tee boxes OK. Fairways damp and sparse. Bunkers still damp. Greens were actually very good but inconsistent in speed. Customer service excellent. I would give the course a few days and I expect it to be very playable. Well worth $40 w cart to play here. IMO, it is a very good, fair and enjoyable layout, for all skill levels.

Played the Goose this afternoon. I will keep it short and simple:

Tee Boxes - Great
Fairways - Awesome
Greens - Awesome
Pace of Play - Once we passed a 4-some that was in front of us playing pretty slow, it was great.

This place was in outstanding condition as usual. Kudos to the grounds crew here. They deserve a big shout out for the condition of the course. They do a great job around here and I dont think they get the credit they deserve. Awesome job guys.

If you have not made it out to play the Goose, do yourself a favor and take a trip out. The practice facility is top notch and the course is always in great shape. It is an easy course to walk, if that is what you prefer. I feel pretty spoiled that this is my home course. Hats off to the staff and maintenance crew. Well done everyone!

Up in No Cal for the holiday weekend to play a few courses and then a tournament. Always look forward to this trip and first stop today was Boundary Oaks. I play here a couple times a year as I have family up here to visit. Got out early walking and was second out following another single in a cart. Beautiful morning and no wind to speak of. Recognized GK’er Bgarcelon who works here and went over to say hello. Nice gentleman.

BO is in great condition right now. About as good as I have ever seen it. The rain has helped I am sure but the fairways are excellent and I noticed there is no kikuyu. What happened? I asked Bgarcelon who mentioned the weather is cool now and kikuyu goes dormant. As the weather warms up, it will return. Was not aware of that. Regardless, every lie was great. On the thin side but still excellent. Tee boxes were good. The rough was green and lush and not difficult to get out of. I was only in 1 bunker and it was in good shape. Good firm sand.

The greens were holding well and rolled true. These are really nice greens and as the previous reviewer, sixpez indicates, you do not want not want to be above the hole. Putting downhill here is a challenge.

Great improvements here, including the grill/bar. Very nice. Folks here are always great here as well. Thoroughly enjoyable round today finished in about 3 hours. Course is a bit hilly but not crazy. Hopefully, they can keep it nice throughout the summer.

Teed off Wednesday about 10:30 finishing in 4:50. The greens are in very good shape. They rolled with medium/fast speed, held shots, and were mostly smooth. The fairways had good coverage with a few thin spots. The rough was mostly good with some thin/bare areas. The bunkers were hit and miss. Some were good and others were thin of sand or compacted. The tee boxes had decent coverage with some mild unleveness. Navy Destroyer is a fun and varied layout with water coming into play on several holes. The staff is friendly.
