Deer Valley Golf Course at Sun City West
Rating Snapshot
About
Deer Valley Golf Course offers a challenging game that will test golfers of all skill levels. The course has a beautiful rolling terrain with over 800 palm trees sprinkled throughout, providing a nice landscape but they can also affect shots since they border nearly all of the greens on the golf course. There are also sand bunkers that guard some of the greens, which are large, undulating, and oftentimes difficult to read. In addition, five of the greens are double-tiered. Ten ponds are situated on the course, coming into play on five holes. There are also some dogleg fairways to add to the difficulty at Deer Valley.

especially great for an afternoon round
the course was in great shape, the pace of play was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. An added bonus for December is that in the last 2 holes do not face west.
Incredibly RUDE staff on a very nice course - beware GolfNow users
I bought the tee time for my husband, a good golfer. The course was nice, as were his playing partners. But when they arrived for the 1:37 tee time, there were no carts. The two staff members in charge were horrible - said "too bad, you shouldn't be playing here anyway". They were mad that all 4 guys were playing at a discount from GolfNow and one staffer actually said, "I OWN this course. I don't like GolfNow and you shouldn't use it." When asked what they would do about the carts, the same guy snarled, "I don't know and I don't care." My husband and one player decided to walk with pull carts; a staffer finally brought them a cart on the 5th hole. The two other golfers waited 45 minutes for cart. You know, anyone can be having a bad day, but don't take it out on the customers. AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE GOLFNOW THEN MAYBE YOUR COURSE SHOULDN'T USE IT. Almost ruined an otherwise nice day.
Great for the senior golfer
Although I found this course to be relatively easy, it is a great course for my friends to play. It also boosts my ego.
Groups were back to back to back
The grass couldn't have been any greener or thicker. The course has just reopened after over seeding. Everyone wanted to play today and it made for a very slow round. We were not able to finish with a 2:07 tee time. Greens were very slow but there wasn't a bare spot anywhere. The head starter couldn't have said less to us upon arrival. I know he was the head starter because his shirt said so.
Wide open fairways, but course is a little short.
Deer Valley is a fun course with wide open fairways and big greens, especially on the par 3s. It might be the easiest and shortest regulation course in Sun City West, but it is well maintained and the greens are in great condition and some pins are challenging.
Staff was very friendly and all tee times were on time.
Everything was great. The staff was good and the Rangers came around to see how we were doing. The tee times were on-time. Definitely would come again!
Nice course
it was nice to play course with no drastic elevations, well maintain with fast greens , will play again for nice hot deal
The course had some good hazards in certain areas., some long par 3's and a very difficult par 5
The course had a great driving range, very freinly staff. Excellent views. Great course to play. Look forward to next time.
Good for women!
Pretty course, well maintained and the swans and wild birds on the ponds are fun to see,
great for the money
I really enjoyed the round. Typical wide fairways and fairly fast greens...
No deer, but plenty of Birdies
This is a terrific course if you desire a challenge to "Birdie the Course." Every hole beckons a solid tee shot followed by a surgical iron strike. The greens are large, the aprons meticulously groomed, and the pIn placement challenging. The sand traps were truly sand, not gravel and likewise beautifully groomed. While not a terribly long course, you will get a full extension of which ever club you use for your first two shots.
Nice course watch the water It may surprise you that it is reachable
Good value for the money Too many courses in AZ. to pay big money to play in Scottsdale. Sun City offers value and it's not just old people driving Buicks with bifocal windshields
Good course but playing conditions under par due to recent rains.
Good layout with interesting holes. conditions were not up to par but this was probably due to the recent heavy rains. I will try again in better weather conditions. Great value and golfnow hot specials.
It's certainly designed as advertised, for the senior golfer! Thanks
Nice and easy to play, generous faiways, fast greens. A good but fair challenge for senior golfers, both my wife and I enjoyed it a lot and will certainly return to play there again.
Great Shape
Superb greens, excellent fairways, course is in great shape.
Fun design, tough par 3's, if you can putt you can score.
Prettiest course in Sun City West .... my favorite course in this area
This is really a beautiful desert course ....the par 3 17th hole has to be its signature hole .... framed with beautiful palm trees.
I am a resident but my GolfNow green fee was much lower than I would pay as a resident. Just wish there were more GolfNow tee times.
Course is tight on the front.
Course is in good condition. We are about 16 handicap and found the front difficult because of the narrow fairways. Back was better. The course was in good condition and we enjoyed the play. Only problem is the slow play.
nice greens
After a one hr.delay because of early morning frost i got to play deer valley for the first time and was impressed with the greens. The greenskeepers do a wonderful job out there considering the amunt of play the course gets this time of year. The rest of the course is nothing to write home about. Take extra care in club selection because the greens are large.
Excellent condition. Fast greens. Wide fairways. No water.
