Course is like others have said a great value. It is well kept, Played in Aug, Sep, and 1st of Oct. Rates are very low during this time $28. Greens are well kept Bermuda, fast downhill with grain, very slow uphill against grain. So you have to pay attention to where on green you are and which way grain is going.
Fairways are full of grass so must be well watered. Course has trouble in predictable places but nothing too tough. Desert waste areas are a lot of the trouble spots.
If money is no object go to TPC Stadium course or Kierland and play. For 1/2 price of most other courses that are just a little more challenging and maybe not as well kept Papago is a real deal even at full price.
NOTE: Do bring your desert club, you will eventually need it. "What's a desert club you ask?" It's a 5 to 7 iron that you don't mind taking chunks out of hitting from waste areas. If you don't have "desert" club. Just drop out, don't ruin your nice Callaway's or Taylormade's trying that impossible recovery shot.
