. "2009-03-03T00:00:00"^^ . "I played my first (and probably last) game of golf in life and in Phoenix at this course. The older man at the \"club house\" gave my friends and I a free club rental and let us borrow golf donated golf balls. All we had to pay was about $25 for the green fees. After a quick warning to \"leave before it gets dark,\" we were off to the links.\n\nMaryvale was a perfect course for my friends and I to take about 10-12 shots per hole. Given that the course has seen better days and is pretty ragged, fellow golfers were understanding when we took a long time on various holes. One group even volunteered to skip the hole we were struggling on (cough, cough....second hole) and just move forward to the third hole.\n\nIf I am ever in the mood to \"golf around\" in the future, I will consider the Maryvale Golf Course."^^ . .
