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.

Replicating the shots on TV is fun here. The 16th with the stands up, or trying to drive it over the church pews on 18. Otherwise, it’s a tourist trap that’s in alright shape and is pretty unremarkable. Fun to see the stands up

Great value for the valley. First par 3 on the back is super unique. Good use of the land.

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
