Golf review : An Absolute Disaster of a Golf Course

I have no idea how this place is still in business. The grass conditions were beyond horrific—huge patches of grass completely missing, like they just gave up trying to maintain it. Gopher holes everywhere, so watch your step unless you want a twisted ankle. The tee boxes? Is that what those were? Uneven, lumpy, and basically just dirt. At certain points, the whole course looked completely abandoned.

And for $65 after 12:30? Good lord. I wouldn’t pay $10 to play here. Spend your money literally anywhere else. I have literally played dozens of golf courses all over the valley from Apache Junction all the way to Sun City North, and I've never come across a golf course that looked as bad and played as bad as this one. It was an embarrassment to even bring anybody to it. Spend your money elsewhere. That's what Google reviews are for. To save you from wasting your time and money.

Restaurant review: I've read good things about this place for years. They were all right. Great food and service, I will be going back.

Food was good service was not. Went there for thanks giving day. Service, made us wait to be seated for 15 minutes, drinks took another 15 minutes wife finally went and got 2 drinks herself.

Booked a round of golf here for the first time in several years. To say it was disappointing would be a major understatement. My memories were lush fairways with white sand bunkers. My reality was dirt, mud, ruts, puddles of water, bunkers of dirt and greens that were in horrendous condition. When I checked in, I was told the course wasn't quite where they wanted it to be, so I was expecting some condition issues, but nothing like what I experienced. What a shame!

Great golf course, great staff, yes the conditions aren't the best as far as some water and mud but hey if you can't play in any condition go home 🤷🏻‍♂️ it's a challenging course with a lot of par 4s and 5s as well as trees in the way so have fun.

Just hit the course here, front 9 were great, back 9 had some fun terrain for each hole. Huge recommend

This is not a resort. This is an old hotel, a step above a motel. |My husband keeps saying I need to read reviews before booking places and darn, he’s right. |There is a little balcony which was nice since I had work to do and there’s no desk/sitting area. ||The AC simply does not work. It’s loud and doesn’t cool off the room. The room was comfortable after about 3am when the temps cooled off. There is a fan in the room, so they know the AC doesn’t work. It’s Arizona- it’s hot. |The water pressure is minimal in the sink and shower. That’s a bummer. |The state sign states the highest rate is $175 but I paid more and I see it listed for more. This hotel isn’t worth $175 a night. Or $150 a night.

Super disappointed in this hotel. Not only is it extremely outdated, I don't know how they can classify it as a resort. ||First, the rooms are so completely outdated and our room did not have A/C. It was mid 70's when we were there. They did have a portable A/C or fan in the room but when we would come in at noon or later it was super muggy and hot even with the portable A/C running all day. Made for a miserable sleep. Never stayed in a hotel room that was that hot or muggy.||House keeping came at 8:30am the first day and since we were still in the room we asked them to come back in an hour or two and they said ok. By 11:30 they still hadn't come and so we called the front desk to let them know they haven't shown up. Got back later in the afternoon and room was still not cleaned. Called front desk again only to find out that housekeeping leaves at 2pm so room could no longer be cleaned. ||During a shower on our 2nd day the water stopped working. Come to find out it was a water main break in the area. Weird because the toilet worked just fine but we couldn't turn on the shower or the sink. I took video because that has never happened during a stay. My son couldn't take a shower that day before his tournament. Housekeeping came and cleaned our room after there was no running water. I guess they just do a wipe down since there was no water.|| When he finished the tournament I went to front desk to let them know we would be leaving and staying at another hotel. They accommodated this but said they cannot offer anything else for the previous night/that day that we went without water. For $300 a night that seems a little unfair.||The quality of the hotel is so old and rundown and I will never stay there again. We ended up going 25 mins away to stay at the Harrah's Ak Chin and had a lovely room and stay.||The golf course itself is pretty run down too. Was just hoping for something nicer considering it said Resort. Don't get your hopes up.
