I like this course because it's reasonably priced, for the location, and in the summers it is very challenging in the rough. They keep the grass long and thick and it really forces you to consider shot selection on every shot. That is the goal, right? To challenge ourselves...
I have noticed many angry reviews regarding staff and pace of play, I say "boo hoo" to that. I'm a Phoenix native and I've played MANY courses in Phoenix. You get a different experience everywhere you go. If you're an avid golfer, this is a great course to play. And hey, if some old man yells at you from the tees, yell back at him!
