I played Cave Creek on a 730 tee time. The course was fairly busy but I was able to get out as a single but was constantly waiting with a number of threesomes and foursomes in front of me. The pace of play wasn't horrible but I could have gotten around quicker.
The course is OK for the price but I don't think I would go back. I didn't really like the layout and none of the holes really stood out to me as fun or great. It's a pretty basic golf course.
The tee boxes were OK with many not level and hard to get a tee in. The fairways had a large number of bare spots with not much grass on them. Areas off the fairway did have some rough but mostly bare dirt or dead grass.
The greens were the best part of the course. They were all consistent but putted very slow. I really had to hammer the putt to get it close to the hole. Sand traps were in good shape.
You can tell this place gets a lot of play but I'm not sure why. I think Encanto and Aguila are better municipal courses at the same price.
