| - Let me tell you a story, but before I do, I would like to note that this is very uncommon and you shouldn't expect it to happen to you so don't let it affect your decision to golf here. In fact, before I tell you this story, I am going to tell you how much I loved this golf course. I loved this golf course because it's like no other golf course in Phoenix. It feels like a golf course up north. It's surrounded by beautiful old trees, many of the holes go down into the washes and it's green and lush. The course itself isn't the "best" around but I am not the best golfer so I didn't really care. The prices are also amazing in the summertime and be sure to eat at Tonto Bar and Grill before or after your tee time. Now it's time for my story.
When we got to the 16th hole, I drove the cart around to meet my husband by our balls. I got out of the golf cart and walked up the hill to the green. While walking, I passed by the sand trap that is right next to the hole. I glanced in and immediately turned ash white. There in the sand trap was a rattlesnake. Yes, in the actual trap! My husband immediately saw my expression and asked if there was a snake. I nod and run back to the golf cart. Needless to say I didn't finish the hole (like I said, I'm not an amazing golfer and was ok with the loss). After finishing the hole, my husband went towards the sand trap to look at the snake. Then we see the whole picture. This rattlesnake has a rabbit, a big rabbit, in it's mouth! Yes, the rattlesnake had somehow caught the rabbit and was trying to get it out of the sand trap. I took a couple steps forward to peek in but immediately retreated back to the cart. I had seen enough. I am traumatized for life. We had obviously caught the snake in the act right after he killed it because it stopped moving and then immediately tried to pull the rabbit up the trap but the rabbit was so heavy the snake was having problems. I've seen these things happen on Animal Planet but I never thought I'd witness it first hand. I think I'll stick to the Animal Planet.
