Quick weekday round
Course was in decent shape. Greens were very firm but putts rolled well. Played 18 holes on a Monday afternoon in just over 2 hours, can beat it.
Quintero Golf Club
Played On 03/11/2016Beautiful and Quiet
First time playing this course and we were not disappointed. The layout is challenging, but as long as you follow the tip sheet and keep in it play off the tee you will be fine. The course is beautiful and quiet, far away from the city. You will immediately notice the lack of ambient noise coming from houses, traffic, and other city noises which was very pleasant. Fairways were nice a short, bunkers were fluffy and easy to hit out of, and greens were fast but predictable. The greens definitely sped up as they dried out. Overall, conditions were excellent. Other than the wonderful course itself, the best part about Quintero is the superior management and employees running the course. This was the most efficiently run course I have ever played. Marshals were all over the course, but were not intrusive, which resulted in our foursome completing our round in 4 hours flat. Great experience, I look forward to playing here again.
Papago Golf Course
Played On 02/12/2016Conditions were great
First time playing this course. The course was in great condition. The fairways were green with very short grass and bunkers were well maintained with soft sand. The greens were extremely fast and firm, tough to get your ball to stop unless struck high with loads of spin, but overall the greens were great. What ruined a perfect round was poor tee time spacing. We were waiting 15 minutes between holes 1-5 because it was backed up 4 groups, then it open up slightly. We tee'd off at 2:09 and did not finish, didn't see a marshal the entire round. Apparently this bunch up on the first few holes is common, maybe management should rectify this issue instead of pretending like it doesn't exist. I expect these issues at cheap executive courses, not this course.
Arizona Biltmore Golf Club - Links Course
Played On 01/29/2016Biltmore Links
Overall good round. We were paired with an older twosome who were enjoyable and had good pace of play. The course was in good condition, only had to wait a few times between holes. The carts no longer have any GPS on them, even though golf now states that they do.
Palmbrook Golf Club

Overall the course was in good condition and it was nice for once to play 18 well under 4 hours. The range and practice facilities are good although the range is short so you can't hit driver. Course is not difficult, good for mid handicappers.
Lookout Mountain Golf Club

First time playing this course. The course is in great conditions from tee to green, I really enjoyed the layout. However, our round took just over 5 hours. That is simply unacceptable. I am a local and this is the longest round I have played in AZ. I can handle waiting on cheaper courses but this is a nice expensive resort course. I didn't see a single marshal all round.
Stonecreek Golf Club
Played On 12/22/2014Poorly managed
I have played Stoncreek several times and I always come away wishing I had gone somewhere else. This round started out good and the spacing between groups was good. On the 3rd hole we got backed up and it lasted the entire round. Sometimes we would be 4 groups backed up, what a joke. The worst part is that we called for a marshal several times and the guy in the pro shop said that. "The marshal apparently left for the day, sorry". every group in front of us was a twosome which of course slowed us down even more. I will not be back until this course is managed better.
Westbrook Golf Club - Lakes Course
Played On 07/19/2014Westbrook Village lakes
Pace of play was great, not many other golfers on course on saturday afternoon. The course was in fair condition, somewhat brown fairways, greens were decent. The bunkers were incredibly hard, so hard that you didn't even need to rake after a shot b/c no sand was disturbed. Course was very easy, every par 3 was nearly the same distance. You can play much nicer courses for the price.
TPC Scottsdale - The Champions Course
Played On 06/20/2014TPC Champions
I have played this course several times and always enjoy it. It has excellent practice facilities and a great layout. We had no one in front of us so we breezed through the course. The greens were a bit rough with dead spots but overall conditions were good. Also, there are frequent planes coming in for a landing in Scottsdale airpark so the noise can be distracting.
Camelback Golf Club - Padre Course
Played On 06/02/2014Camelback Padre Course
Although we played on the first day of the year that it hit 110, Padre was a fun course at an incredible value. Camelback has an excellent driving range and practice facility. We did notice that they are beginning to airiate the fairways. Overall it was a moderately chalangign course for a great deal.
Orange Tree Golf & Conference Resort
Played On 03/15/2014Orange tree
Im local and have played this course a dozen times. The course was in good condition although the greens were very fast and difficult to stop your ball on. Pace of play was slow due to the foursome in front of us. To that group, if you can only hit the ball 40 yards you should not be playing tips! I still enjoyed this course and will definitely play again.
Cave Creek Golf Course
Played On 01/26/2014Extremely slow, waste of time and money
I have played this course before and never had problems. We teed off at 2:30 and were only able to get 11 holes of golf in. The course was extremely over booked and the pace of play was mind numbingly slow. We even had a cart but it did not help because we were waiting 20 minutes to tee off on each hole. Whats even more ridiculous is that they marshal drives around and tells everyone that the carts have to be in by 5:45pm when we still had at least 40 minutes of playing time left. Homeless people living in the wash and neighbor pitbulls barking at you while your on the tee box do not make this an inviting course to play.
