When it comes to AZ, these folks know their grass.... Condition is awesome and golfnow gave me a chance to capitalize the affordability. This course shares almost i would word it the same as Foothills and Club West cos its located on the north side of South Mountain AZ. Foothills and Club West are on the south side just to help you remember. The lanscape is hilly but rather short. My experience though is quite challenging due to a strong gusty sand storm... yea not a complete Haboob but close enough while i can still golf. The course sneaks into housing and around behind the mountain. I love the challenge of long course but this one is not leaving anything short per the weather. If you ask me, yea i would come back for another round but let me finish longer courses that have higher priority. Hole 1 is a really nice setup where both sides are surrounded by Arizona Grand Resort rooms (a little exaggerate but its like grand stand) while folks sitting in the coffee terrace sipping coffee can enjoy the hole 1 tee off screenplay; of course what they might see is just a slight view of your back and a big American flag waving at the backdrop.
