Excellent parkland golf in the desert. Small greens, narrow targets, and plenty of friendly people to meet when you drive it into another fairway. Easy to walk with a great clubhouse and staff. The layout isn’t exactly “exciting”, but not one bad hole, great golf course.

Probably the best public in Arizona, wide enough, interesting green complexes and surroundings, lots of runoffs and myriads of ways to play shots. Definitely not as punishing as most desert golf, so it’s a great change of pace from just about everything else.

RTJ II desert golf. Fun course, tough driving course some tight landing areas. As with most desert golf miss the fairway and rough and your ball is likely gone. Nice views interesting holes. 18th hole seems kinda out of place from rest of course…

Fantastically conditioned, very nice desert course. Interesting quick greens room off the tee. Fantastic service but it’s a little spendy. Round of 3 drinks (doubles) was $114. Definitely worth playing if you get an opportunity
