The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Tom Lehman desert layout golfers praise for excellent conditioning, some of the best greens in the area, and panoramic mountain views in a quiet setting east of Scottsdale. It plays fair off generous landing areas, though surrounding home development crowds some holes.
Consistently praised
- Top-tier greens and conditioning that travelers rank above many area courses.
- Big mountain panoramas and a tranquil, freeway-free setting.
Worth knowing
- Heavy residential development lines many holes and can intrude on the desert feel.
Golfers recommend
- Crowned, undulating greens with trouble long reward favoring the middle.
- Use the generous fairways but mind the many bunkers.
