  • I've played golf on this golf course many times since it opened but today the condition of the greens were very poor (worst I've experience in the valley this summer). We were told over the phone prior to making the tee time that the course was in good shape. I'd agree with regard to the fairways. The greens were another story. They were slow, bumpy and the grass appeared to have had an issue as there were many bare spots. Not a good combination and since 35-50% of the game is short game it was a waste of money today. On another note, every bunker's sand was wet and heavy as though they had watered every bunker on the course overnight. It is monsoon season so I can't say they didn't get rain last night but we didn't in Gilbert. When this course first opened it was a real gem but I understand it has been through ownership changes and financial difficulties and it shows. The upkeep isn't what one would expect, especially given the quality of the surrounding homes. I also don't care for the current setup of the 17th hole, the signature par 3, since they've modified it to have two greens. What a shame and it destroys the architecture of that hole. As I recall, there was originally just a "fairway" area mowed in front of the green in the event one wasn't confident shooting for the pin. It was a great idea to give people a viable play short with the opportunity to make an up and down instead of shooting for the green which was a challenging shot. I like Ken Kavanaugh's designs and this one was very good. Further, with regard to architectural changes, they seem to have eliminated some of the tee boxes for the better player. This seems to be a trend among courses that I don't like. When someone has worked hard to be a good golfer then there should be "championship" courses to play. Many courses seem to be remaking themselves into "resort style" courses which is a shame. There are fewer and fewer challenging courses around that are reasonably priced (below $150 a round). I'd rather people were encouraged to play the proper tee instead of penalizing the better players. I hope that the current ownership is working toward turning this course around. It would be a shame for it to continue to wallow in mediocrity. At one time, this was by far the best course in the Ahwatukee area. Now, not even conditioned as nicely as the municipal courses which are less money to play.
