Pros:
A very attractive course. Tight and technical with ace opportunites on every hole (except maybe 7--that hole gave me fits!!). Awesome for someone wanting to work on short, obstructed approach shots.
Cons:
Super short, fairly difficult to navigate, despite the short length. Carefree is out in West BFE--don't plan on going to this course unless you have business in Carefree/Cave Creek, AZ.
Other Thoughts:
I enjoy this course--yes it's short, but its fun and the course is beautiful, and cleverly designed among the buildings of the resort. It is one of the most unique courses you will ever play--you must shoot over trees, bushes, buildings and even a bridge (thought the daring will go under the bridge). There is even a fair amount of OB--a bad shot will land you on top of one the many buildings!!
I've yet to get an ace there, but last time I was there both my friend and I had "drives" clank out.
Also, I have played this course on 3 separate occasions and have yet to pay the $15 or even be asked if I was staying at the resort. When you find the lobby of the resort, don't go in, take the sidewalk to the right until you find a pathway into the resort. The path will take you by an old wagon and the first tee is just around the corner to the right of the wagon. There are a few signs, but ALL the tees are marked by green tassles.
