Played here a couple times, most recently this past weekend. The course is always in good shape when I've been out there and it is challenging with the desert being in play throughout the course.
The driving range gives you a great view of Northeast Scottsdale while you're warming up and you get just about the same great view off of the #10 tee. The course is challenging enough for most people as you're playing with desert on a lot of holes.
The negative is that it is a tad annoying playing amongst the string of power lines that are placed along the outskirts of the course. It just makes for an awkward appearance and when you're trying to line up your shot, that numbing buzz of the electricity can be an unwelcome distraction.
Is this a great course? In my opinion, no. There are far better ones around the Valley that you can go and play. But, I recommend playing here if you haven't before and you're looking for a new track in NE Scottsdale.
