Rating 70.8

The sun shines 350 days a year in Phoenix and you can enjoy this factor at Ahwatukee Country Club. "Ahwatukee" is Crow Indian for "house of dreams", but this could easily be the "golf course of dreams".

The semi-private Ahwatukee Country Club offers an 18-hole golf course designed by John Bulla in 1974 that is open year-round and includes a driving range, as well as a cart included in the greens fee. The golf course is par-72 and measures 6,713 yards from the championship tees.

The Ahwatukee Country Club golf course features a fairly wide-open layout, but has out-of-bounds areas on either side of the fairways - including some with houses, so watch out for those windows - as well as water hazards on some holes. The putting greens play fast.

After a tight front nine on the Ahwatukee Country Club golf course, things open up on a razor-sharp par-4 dogleg 10th hole, with no chance to cut corners: there's a towering forest to the left.

Almost cold water

Ahwatukee has changed there pro shop to a different end of the building but everything else is the same!
I'm not impressed with the Tee Boxes, terrible condition, flat surface hard to find Fairways are kind of good with a lot of not so good.
They have gotten rid of a lot of old dead trees! Driving range: Mats....really!! Forget the mats and use the grass; or better yet, issue a mat so you have a nice place to put the ball in the fairway!!
Value for the price....not even close!! From now on I'll wait until Summer when the rates will match the conditions of the course....low.
The new putting green, or refurbished putting green it quite nice!! Good job!
I'm hoping the "new" owners/company will work on the course as it is not a bad course generally! All the employees were great, by the way!!!!!

Bring Back the Old Owners

Course was worse than bad. Course was in much better shape a year ago. Not sure if they even overseeded this year. Sad!

Yikes

Greens are bumpy and inconsistent, pace was slow, staff was fine, tee boxes uneven, bunkers are concrete, rough is concrete, fairways have large patches of concrete. I’ll wait another 5 years to see if they turn this dump around.

Course Condition is Not so Good

We played Ahwatukee CG twice this week, both times in the mid afternoon. Pace of play was very good, and the staff were great. However, course conditions are questionable as fairways, fringes, and greens are an uneven mix of dormant bermuda grass and overseeded grass. Under normal conditions, the dormant bermuda would be a tan color, but oddly, around the greens, everything is a sort of brilliant green. The uneven conditions make chipping and putting a kind of unpredictable adventure. I know the course came under new ownership in the past year. I think they have some serious work to do to get the turf in good shape. The layout is interesting and challenging enough. I hope they succeed.

New Ownership

Course is under new ownership and they seem to finally be taking care of the golf course. It’s been in such bad shape for so long and already so much better than last year. Can’t wait to see what it looks like next year.

Great place to play.

We play here regularly. Usually play here with my grandson. He says it's his favorite course. Played the week of Christmas with my family. We had a foursome and threesome
We were treated like royally, which we appreciated. We had a great time.

Diamond in a rough... condition

This place has the bones to be a fantastic local course but it wasn't in the best shape. What I was told is that it was recently taken over new management and they are working hard to bring it up to par. You can see that they were working on it but it probably has about another year before you see a good turnaround. If they keep going in the upward direction it will def be busy. So play now before the rates go up and it's too late

The place is old

I haven’t played here in over a year. It’s upsetting because it used to be a gem. The trees are run down. The grass is mediocre. There is sooo much dirt and weeds. I hope it improves.
Staff was good and there was no cart service.
The practice pads are run down and smelly.

Budget pick, beautiful day for golf

Course is definitely improving in conditions. The new ownership is clearly invested in making this a positive playing experience for patrons. The overall course conditions could certainly be better, but for the price point at this time of year, there’s really not any other championship style courses that you could play 9 at locally, let alone 18. Some holes are certainly better maintained than others, and the greens could use a good roll, but overall a good day on the course for me. Staff was super friendly, (cart guys, pro shop staff, bartender, etc.) hoping to come back!

FORE! The luv of golf

Ahwatukee is a standard parkland layout, lined w houses in the foothills. The layout is welcoming to all levels of golfers.

Our foursome teed off at 11am and finished at 2:45pm. The pace of play was perfect.

The greens and fairways were in good shape. There is undulation in the greens but they rolled true and steady. They are quicker than you think, especially down grain. Knowing when to be aggressive is key to avoiding three putts.

The fairways were decent w good, crisp lies. Use the divot sand. The bunkers are a little thin on sand but fair.

Our only issue was w the tee boxes. They are filled with barren spots that make looking for good footing a problem. The rough is pretty much hardpan so it’s either fairway or playing off the dirt if you tend to spray the ball.

The staff Is super friendly and helpful.

We will play it again. $70 is a bit overpriced for the course but it is a fun layout.
