Tough course to love 
1

Pros: For being a "play backward for 18" course where all the baskets are used twice, it was pretty cleverly laid out to maximize double-use baskets. Good course entry sign.
Cons: This course is hard to love...
It is perfectly flat on hard-packed dirt. It seems like every plant on the course has thorns.
Most holes are clones of a single idea, "The basket is right behind that giant clump of thorny trees - good luck" I kept trying to find something to like but I think of all of the courses in Phoenix that get low marks for bland terrain - this is the most bland - just a dusty flat field of mesquite trees.
I think just about every hole on the front nine had to be scouted. We probably walked the course 3x further than normal because of so many blind shots. If the measure of a good course is the necessity of a variety of shots and tricks, I think the blind shot idea was used to the point of overkill.
There were really no fairways on the "closed" holes that rewarded good aim. The result was just throw after throw through thick brush.
The holes that were "open" were just throwing across empty dirty fields.

Other Thoughts: The best part of this course was the creative implemetation of the back 9 - I found myself approaching a hole and getting ready to putt before recognizing the basket from the first round.
Bland, dusty, harsh, far, uninspired.
Only play this course if you are a local and want to check it off a list.

Report this Review Probably won't be back 
Pros: Some interesting tunnel shots and shots around big, nasty patches of mesquite. Signage was in place on most holes.
Cons: Mesquite bushes are prickly and left me cut and bleeding. Kind of hard to follow because of confusing layout that plays each basket twice, once in and one out. Seems like this would create a dangerous situation, if there were ever many people playing the course.
Other Thoughts: Nice to have a course next to a high school to introduce kids to the game, but this course is so pickly and dusty that it might turn them off instead.
