While in Arizona for my son's national scooter competition, I brought my clubs for one day…read morededicated to dad. I had a buddy (great golfer) look up a few courses for me in Chandler which right next to Phoenix and Ocotillo was his recommendation. I'm glad he found it for me. Let me start by saying this was not an easy course for a high handicapper (17) like me, but it was extremely fun to play. I don't think I've ever played 18 holes with so much water in play on the majority of the course. The greens were kept up (not fast at all), the fairways were nice, and the tee boxes were in good shape as well. I lost a lot of balls but not because of the difficulty of the course, it was simply bad play. I believe they have three 9 hole courses that they use and I started on what they call Oasis. It was a great front 9. Ironically, the back 9 felt a lot easier with less water, but there was still plenty of it to go round. If you're looking for a fairly difficult, yet fun course to play, you'll love this spot. The clubhouse crew was very customer service friendly as well from the moment you walked up and I only paid $97 for 18 with a cart with one day notice.

Course must have been in such bad condition before the weekend that they thought oh let's water the…read morelife out of it. Making it soggy and dead grass spots. Standing water on fairways and every bunker. Numerous areas under repair. Huge divots every shot so wet we ran out of sand. Played in a scramble tourney that was supposed to have multiple tastings on holes and I think there was 3. The tourney prize for first was a head cover like what?!?! Just a money grab. *UPDATED* Jeff below will try to tell you lies to make what occurred seem better to save face. There was only 3 tastings. Two par 3's had empty tables. Prizes were underwhelming at best. A bag tag looks like a child made at elementary school, a free round of golf in these conditions (couldn't pay me to play it again), and one of their own head covers. Utilize your vendors from golf brands. Other courses offering hundreds of dollars, clubs, etc for lesser tournament registration fees. You offer what seems to be after thoughts to be cheap. Every course waters more in the summer so it doesn't get fried but morning tee times see dew. Not standing water and soggy ground with every step. It was the most unprofessional tournaments I have ever seen. Absolute amateur hour. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COURSE!!!!!!

We chose an…read more11:00 AM tee time, which was significantly cheaper than the early morning tee times because it's usually in the 100+ degrees by then. We're used to it and we bring lots of cooling towels. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The driving range was limited to irons only during our visit, not sure why. The course was in great shape for the most part and the pace of play was ideal. There was no one in front of us or behind us pretty much the entire time. Food from the restaurant was decent. They provided a small "cooler" which is more like a small lunch bag for the drinks. The golf carts don't have coolers, which isn't a deal breaker, but a bit inconvenient especially since the lunch bag they gave us leaked and there wasn't a good spot for it in the cart. Regardless, we had a nice experience. We played all 18 holes and are excited to play again in the future!

Firstly, it would be unfair to judge this course right now on what it currently is, versus what it…read moreplans to be. The folks at Dobson ranch converted that course into one of the most fun and value-driven locations in the Valley. I trust their management. Thus, when I heard that they had purchased Ahwatukee, I was intrigued. There are a lot of inexperienced golfers rating this course 1/5. Most advanced and well-traveled golfers appreciate one thing above all: the greens. I don't care how nice the layout, fairways, or tee boxes are, if I can't get a true roll on my putts, it's an instant 0. However, this course has prioritized its greens as the first thing it's revamping, and it shows. Do not judge the greens by their visuals, they roll quite well and are firm. Happy to see a course where I don't leave a crater in the green nor rip it 30 feet back. Happy with the green conditions. I know they're putting in good work on the fairways and tee boxes. They can't help the conditions mostly. However my biggest caveat is the placement of the tee markers. Come on, please don't put us on a mound where the ball is either a Foot above our below our feet. I purposely teed off well behind the markers on occasion to avoid a poor lie. My other caveat is that the deals they advertise online were not accepted in person. This month they have been peppering Instagram with deals for college students, including a $29 weekend round with student ID. None of the staff had heard of this deal, so I was a bit disappointed to pay full price. However, they were friendly enough to give me a cart discount at the least. September 24th, you guys posted it! Overall, I'm excited to see where the course goes. It's a fun layout and the vibes are high here, I can see the vision!

I thought we were very thorough in asking whether cart path or not while making tee times on our golf getaway prior to booking, but we failed in this case. Fortunately this course is very walkable.

You can request a course guide from the pro shop. Mostly bunker hazards with a few water hazards. Contoured golf cart seats were very comfortable. The entire staff very friendly and very hospitable.

Cat Tail was cart path only. Thank goodness our tee time was at Devil's Claw. As we began playing the four of us agreed the course wasn't that narrow. The back nine had a few more bunkers than the front. The greens were challenging. Minute undulations. The course was well groomed. Golf carts were contoured with GPS monitor and USB. Bottled water provided with ice in the cooler. Tee time was 10:05am foursome. It was very busy so unable to get on any earlier. Green fees $159 p/p. Pick up more bottled water at the starter hut along with a paper scorecard as needed. We appreciated the marshal monitoring the pace. We finished under 4 hours.

It has been over 2 years since I first gave a review on Springfield Golf Resort. Not much has…read morechanged except my golf game and new clubs which I purchase from the Pro Shop after attending a series of Demo Days put on by manufacturers. And I have had the opportunity to golf at other locations since swinging my first club just months before my prior review. Springfield Golf Resort remains at 5 stars (Great) despite one negativity, inconsistant greens which is an important thing for golfers and the short game. I have seen my ball hop, skip, and jump to the hole at times, not break when it should and visa-versa. I have had missed shots due to crowns even around the hole and even role slightly back as slowly inching to the hole. But other than the greens sometimes a challenge, the greens are playable and Par's a plenty when you get used to their condition. But dont expect the PGA to come here for a tournament though. Beyond the greens, I love this executive course with so much potenial to be one of the best executive courses in the state especially for all levels with well defined fairways that offer a lot of variety and challenges in a good way to improve your golf and increase your enjoyment and golf experience. And most importantly, lots of opportunities for tree shade throughout the course for the warmer season known as hell. This course has the typical hazards of any course however the water and tree hazzards are only an issue to you if youleave the fairway in most cases. Bunkers are a different story in that they tend to congregate to the sides of the greens and a few in front here. The sand in the bunkers can at times be like hitting off soft dirt and can have poor drainage after a rain (yes that sometimes happens in Chandler) or after significant irrigating of the green/fairway; it is a non-issue if you avoid the hazard, lol. End up in the hazard and you pay the price. The people here are friendly and the staff have no equals from professionalism to friendliness in my opinion. And they do what they can to accommodate all sorts of situations to allow you to play and make it enjoyable. They have recently this year invested in new golf carts with GPS to help you range the ball to green which is noice. But it does also keep you from driving where they don't want to to go to get to your ball, again, if you leave the fairway so don't unless you like to walk. One complaint is that the mini-ice chest is super small and cant accomodate much once ice is added. The speed of play can at times seem at times slower during the week than on weekends. There are leages with mostly elderly people that play regularly during the week and this is in a 55 and older community so I found myself waiting to tee-off more during the week then weekend. Last weekday round had be 25 minutes behind normal pace of play. Rarely happens to that degree on weekends. But the staff and the new GPS carts try to mitigate slow play. They have an excellent, well marked driving range with 3 range ball bucket sizes to accommodate a short pre-round warm-up to a longer practice session at a reasonable rate. The green fees are creeping up there in price like everyplace else but remains one of the lower costs courses in Phoenix which is enhanced further by the offering of a seasonal punch cards that don't expire to help save you money and can be shared amongst others in your party. Don't forget to stop by the 19th hole after your round of golf to say hello to the very friendly staff and relax while enjoying food/refreshments and som sports on one of the many TV's. All and all, going to other courses, I have been spoiled by this one and Springfield Golf Resort serves as the basis of comparison.
