Played as a single for $11 off GolfNow June 27th at 1:00pm in this Queen Creek, neighborhood golf course. The staff inside the club shop was apt, it was the PGA Professional there that welcomed me and offered me to play alone as I showed up 40 minutes early to check this place out. I've heard of this place as a meat and potatoes golf course, and I would be inclined to agree. The staff wasn't too present, but it's summer. I don't blame them. I prepped my cart myself and was on my way. The course presents itself as a high school/muni type community course so conditions are wavering. The tee boxes were trimmed nicely and allowed for really any setup among the 5 tee boxes. The fairways were good, nothing lush or perfectly trimmed but allowed for approach shots to have spin and accuracy when needed. Fairways sat the ball up well, however the edges of the fairways and rough is where things may get dicey. The rough was infested with that crab grass weed, not really any type of grown out rough but more so untrimmed weeds that only seemed maintained by the tires of golf carts. The sand in the bunkers were raked but nothing fluffy or noticeably immaculate. The greens were small and very soft, held true when putted upon without any visually present divot marks. The fringe was very prevalent, well cut and held any missed green shots allowing for any green side wedge shots to be played, I was thoroughly impressed with them. This place is a golf course, one that is playable and enjoyable. I shot my best score relative to par ever here and throughout the day, I was looking around and just taking everything in trying to think of how I would encapsulate what this course presents. It's not really challenging, nor is it long in any fashion, the design doesn't capture the minds of what some would seek but it did leave me with this; it's a place to tee it up and knock a little ball into a hole. The tee boxes had trimmed grass, the fairways had a good consistent texture, the greens were nice to putt on and hit shots into, the bunkers had sand...isn't that a golf course? I'd say if you haven't played this course but have heard about it, you might want to drive out here and play. If you've played it once and don't live close, you might not return and stay to replay it again and again. But hey, not every course will be a must play, and that's okay.
