I’ve always enjoyed this course. Each time I’ve played it, over the past five years, it’s been in very good to excellent condition. Recent rains may have challenged the grounds crew but they were up to it and the result was nothing less than superb. This par 71 course has nothing truly dramatic. However, the surrounding mountains, desert terrain and flora, eye-pleasant residences, and consistently fine conditions make for an enjoyable round. This is not a target-golf desert course nor is it solely traditional. Desert, water and an abundance of sand bunkers insist on accurate shots. Unlike many courses in the area, the sand is, generally, soft and playable. The greens, usually, are darn fast but, this day, they were average in speed and excellent in consistency. You really have to view them from many angles for an accurate read. Although not the ultimate challenge for scratch players, we 15’s can have a good time, appreciate the professional and friendly staff, watch the roadrunners, bunnies and lizards, and be pleased with the value.

Nice pro shop, courteous staff and fair layout. The fairways are fair, greens will hold but a little hard to read. If you hit a decent shot on this course, you won't be penalized like on many Phoenix area courses.

Only the powerlines, but they don't come into play, unless your like Biff in our group who hit the lines 3 times in a row from the same lie. We just told him keep it between the poles and he wouldn't have that problem!

Recommend this course to all levels of players. We have played here for 3 straight years and have enjoyed each visit.

Making the turn between 18's, we were quickly served delicious food by very friendly staff who were well tipped.

Nice layout, general overall conditioning. Nice eating area and clubhouse.

Powerlines -- how are ya' gonna' hide them???

This course is kept in good condition and sits up next to the Superstition mountains. The views are beautiful in some parts, but the power lines are a bit intrusive (to the view, that is).

Many of the holes have a unique look and feel to them, and strategy comes into play on numerous holes. It's pretty flat, but they do well to spread out the holes and give the course some 'movement'. It isn't as magestic as it's neighbor (Gold Canyon), but the price doesn't take your breath away.
