Just
about "the best value in metro Phoenix" can
be had at this "pretty" "sleeper"
"in the West Valley" 25 minutes or so from
downtown; the facility sports an Arthur Hills championship
track and a Hale Irwin-designed executive layout, "both
of which are worth playing", plus a lighted nine-hole
par 3 course, making it one of Arizona's premier sites
for junior and family golfing. |

Profile: This facility offers two eighteen hole courses. The Palms
Course is a links-style design with a desert landscape. There
is one lake that comes into play on two holes. The fairways
vary between being hilly and flat, and both the fairways and
greens are well bunkered. The wind will usually come into
play around February. The Lakes Course is known for having
absolutely huge greens, averaging 35-40 yards in depth. Many
of the greens slope away from the fairway and offer multiple
pin placement opportunities. The fairways have generous landing
areas on the Lakes Course, but also incorporate many grass
bunkers and very deep sand bunkers into the design. |
