I've heard it's one of the busiest courses around, and I can attest it probably is. Only played it twice in a year, but was always busy (weekday)....but steady pace. Figure close to 4.5 hours for 18. Nice layout, various holes, not boring back & forth flat golf. Very nice clubhouse. Will play it again.

The weather was great, greens were great, some of the fairways needed mowing and the ones that didn't had been mowed too late and grass clippings were so thick that you had difficulty finding your ball. The GolfNow Hot Deal was such an excellent price that we drove the extra distance to play this course. First time I've played it since the 60's. We will return; just hope it's been mowed better.

The value was good, but the crowd was large and most groups were foursomes. The pace of play moved along fairly well, but it took nearly 4.5 hrs. to play and the course is not as long as most. Most of the par 4's were relatively short, but that's fine with me....big, big hitters might be able to drive a few of them. Only one par 5. Didn't use the restaurant, but it looked nice and appeared to be a lunch stop for many locals that were not playing golf....so it must be good.

The par 4's are short....will play the back tees next time. Par 3's are various lengths and several guarded with bunkers forcing you to hit the green on the fly. Greens were very good. Bunkers are not sand, but are desert caliche from what I could determine. Great value.

It had recently rained, but the course was well drained in early Oct. All conditions good. Mostly 2somes so speed of play moved right along. The kind of course I like: fairways average width (a couple holes a bit long for my game), greens visible from approach, and even though the fairways are relatively straight there's enough water, traps, etc. to keep it interesting and provide a challenge. Would definitely play it again.

It is very short, but very nice; play from the back of the tee blocks. Also, for the price of 9 holes you can play the course over and over again. The 18 hole course also looks very nice, but haven't played it.

The par 4's are only at the start and finish which helps keep the speed of play constant. (4's & 3's mixed can cause backups.) The course was very full this day, but the waiting at each tee was not long. This course is fairly short, but in great shape.

Being a City of Phoenix course, it is excellent condition. Played here before and it's always busy, but play is steady. Don't expect to play 9 in record time....just enjoy the time in the sun. By the way, each tee has shade trees to wait under. If want to play a serious 18 holes, I'd recommend going to the Encanto 18 next door to the 9.

Some of the busier courses in the Phoenix area are higher quality, but some are worse too. This is a very nice Executive 18, especially for the price; there's even 1 par 5! We will be return customers for sure.

It's not like playing the Hilton, but for the money this is a great find. You never need a tee time, however, GolfNow can provide tee times at a real bargain.
