I'm not sure why this course gets low ratings. There are some problems with dry patches and the greens need some work. I don't know if that's a condition of the grounds crew or the way the course was designed on the rocky steps of South mountain. Overall pricing isn't bad and the scenery is pretty nice. You can still see Rod Stewart's house!
Give this course a try. You can find some pretty good online deals and I think it's worth it.
