Decent, Fun Public Park Course That Was Crowded When We Played 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 1, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Grass course is pretty unusual for Phoenix area it seems, but for someone not from Phoenix it played like a pretty typical public park.

- Decent individual hole signage (bit confusing overall course)

- Decent tee pads, but short. Some would call this a con, but some effort went into it and the holes aren't that long so overall I prefer what they did to dirt tees.

- Baskets also in decent shape.

- Decent mix of lengths, nice mix of a couple of longer holes and some ace runs, the trees make for some mildly guarded baskets.

- Good parking close to the course.

- No issues using a cart at this course.

Cons:

- Very, very crowded when we played, and we felt like we weren't even peak hours.

- Public interference was a real thing, combined with the above note this is a course I would try to play at off-hours.

- Not a ton of space to work with, I'm personally not a fan of jamming 18 holes into what only has the space for 9 holes. Other players were super chill that we met, but the overlap between holes is definitely annoying.

- Not overly challenging/interesting from a topography perspective.

Other Thoughts:

- Overall, thumbs up for what the course designers were able to do with what they had to work with in a public area. It's not a destination course, but I'd be happy to have this as my local course if I lived in the area. We met some really chill people and enjoyed our short, quick round. Nothing wrong with this course if you just want to get a round in or a warm-up round.

Green and a nice walk... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 9, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice green park.
Decent baskets.
Nice/helpful people playing.
A place to practice!

Cons:

Crazy busy (not just golfers) most of the time.
Tough to navigate (#'s on baskets would help).
Really repetitive in nature, I know it is a flat park, what do I want???
It's OK to practice in a pinch, and the northwest valley doesn't have many options... so I guess it's ok for some boring type practice!

just an average park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 9, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Pretty good course to learn or practice on. Lots of birdie chances. Can use different shots but not forced to. Baskets and tee pads are in good shape. Everything is well marked.

Cons:

Can get really congested. People will just be walking through the holes all willy nilly. Same for the police, they have been known to drive through the park. No bathrooms.

Other Thoughts:

It does get really busy most of the time. There is a league on Wednesdays at 430, great way to learn new things.

Deceptive Park Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Wide Open and long. For a arm like mine (350 avg distance) this course plays pretty long when set up in the long position. There is a good mix of left and right holes. Makes best use of the minimal amount of trees. A few Ace runs.

Cons:

Park course, so sometimes can be crowded. In the summer the watering schedule is during the morning hours when it's "comfortable" to play.

Other Thoughts:

If you have a big arm this course can be an easy course. For those of us with smaller arms, it can play long and leave you with some long up shots.

Flat and open 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 1, 2006 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy to find and easy to play. Very open. If you want to grip and rip this is the place for you. Local club is in process of planting more trees to make the course more challenging. Good park for rollers. Again the locals are great and easy to approach for assistance finding the back 9.

Cons:

Multi use park so sometimes the soccer people get in the way. Course can get really I MEAN really windy. Only 9 holes. No restrooms.

Other Thoughts:

Another course I only lived a few miles from and played oftten.

2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 10, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good use of limited space. Great for rollers. Quite a few fun holes!! #2 is an SOB, but it's cool. Multiple pin locations. There really aren't very many trees on the course, but what trees there are are utilized extremely well. They sure as hell get in my way!!

Cons:

Usually windy. This course normally kicks my ass--I guess that would just be a "con" for me!!
Crowded on most days.

Other Thoughts:

It is a 9 basket course, but it is set up well. Many of the shots are repetitive, but that is more a reflection on the park then the course designers.
Depending on the pin placements (and wind) this course can range from not too tough, to "Holy crud!! Was my score really that high?"
In Phoenix, I prefer Buffalo Ridge, but Conocido is very nice change of pace.
