Good value.
The course was in overall nice shape within the main playing areas from tee to green. The area outside the fairways was a little bare. Greens in good shape. Good value for the cost to play the course.

Course is much improved over last year due to new ownership
Played this course last year and felt that it was not maintained very well. Hesitated about playing again this year, but spoke to someone who had played the course and said that it was in good shape. Tee off areas , fairways and greens are in good shape. Best to try and stay on fairways as rough needs some work. Overall pleasantly surprised and enjoyed our game. Course is flat and easy to play. Well worth trying.

Great greens, unkempt rough and fairways
My wife and I have played this course many times. The thing that keeps drawing us back is the format. 6 par 5s. 6 par 4s and 6 par 3s. Also, the greens are fast, challenging and roll very true.
The staff is always very friendly and helpful, including the snack bar workers and cart girls.
That being said, the course is very much in need of better greenskeeping. The fairways are mottled with weeds and scrubby areas and the rough is simply residential field scrap. Dirt, weeds, huge holes in the ground, trash etc. This course needs a make-over

enjoyable course that is fun to play
one off the best values for your golf dollar in Phoenix. A lot of courses are so difficult you aren't enjoying yourself but not this course.

.If you can get it for les than 25 it's a fair price.
Course under repair! Not too bad shape. Excessive water issues. Came in the morning, staff very nice. Got on right away and played at a good pace. Will go again.

Course was in pretty good shape for the amount of play it recieves.

New management is attempting to spruce up the course that was just recently reopened.
Was a great course for the cost when called Bougainvillea. It closed and new management is trying to improve overall course playability. Fairways and greens are in very good shape considering.

Under new Mgnt = great value
This course is under new mgnt. They took over Summer of 2012, and re-opened the course Oct 2012. You can see the work they have done so far. They are still making improvements but is a 6/6/6 course which I have not played yet. I took my Dad here while he visited from DC, and he has played many gorgeous high-profile courses and he really enjoyed this course. Lush green and wide fairways, low rough, and fast greens made for a fun day of golf.
A great course for new golfers for there are no carries to worry about. I'll definitely be back!

It will take a while for new ownwership to catch up
Course overall layout is bad. Back to back par 3's led to being stacked up four deep on tees. Mens club having closest to the pin contest didn't help matters. Some bunkers had sand, some nothing but dirt. Carts should be equipped with rakes as most bunkers with sand had no rakes. I wouldn't recommend it at this point in time.

Good value for the money
Course has gotten much better, now that it is under new management
March 23, 2013
It's a process
They recently bought this course from the previous owner and the course was in terrible condition. They are putting a lot of effort into making it better. It's just not quite there yet.
March 23, 2013
I'd play there again.
Average course. Greens look great but were slow. Too much brown for my taste.

Typical AZ course, worth playing with a Golfnow deal, or at off-peak rate
First time playing here. Putting greens and tee boxes were in excellent shape, fairways were average. Surrounding areas of fairways were rough and very unforgiving. Staff actually marshalled playing times. Course recently renovated, hopefully it will be kept up.

New management going the right direction
Driving Range needs much needed overhaul!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good course for $25 and a cart
Anything off the fairway was pretty rough. But the greens were kept in very nice condition and although it wasn't overly challenging it did provide a nice round, especially for the price of $25.

Nice track
One of many decent courses in the Valley, and a great value.

Nice course .Great price.
We needed a round to get us back into golf after 4 months of winter. This was perfect for that. Nice straight fairways. The fairways and greens were in good condition but the rough was all weeds and hard sand. I guess that's what rough is. But we had a good round. We'd come back. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
March 18, 2013
Not bad
The rough was rough, mostly weeds. The fairways and greens were plenty nice. We had a 3-some in front of our foursome that held us up quite often; I think they stopped and watched you tube videos for each shot! Other than a 4.5 hour round it was fantastic.
March 18, 2013
overall good, needs a few upgrades
The course itself was nice to play, good greens, forgiving fairways. The little things need attention: ball washers, distance markers. cart exit signs. Driving range was under repair. I will play there again.
March 18, 2013
course is improving
apparent that the course was negleted but that it is now being cared for and is being brought back into good condition.
March 17, 2013
No two holes look alike
Very enjoyable to play. It has 6 par 5s,3s and 4s. The course plays pretty fast because there is very little trouble for the high handicap golfer to get into.
March 14, 2013
Course condition was abysmal.
Course nothing more than the cottonfield surrounding it. "Scenic" area is a misnomer. Greens were pitted and bumpy. Play was very slow due to non-golfers all over the course and no pace of play monitoring.
March 6, 2013
What you pay is what you get
Decent all around. Greens a little slow but in good shape. Fairways good. No over seed in rough, just dormant grass. Desert areas rock/sand not just dirt. Type in old course name or address to find with GPS. New name not in Ford or Garmin GPS

Great course for the price.
Course was great for the price. 6 Par 3's, 6 Par 4's and 6 Par 5's made for a fun day! Fairways were not overseeded but did not impeed play. Greens in good condition and consistent. Staff extremely friendly.
February 27, 2013
Course is a good value and is getting in better shape all of the time
The course has been undergoing updates and is getting to be in good shape. Greens are good and sand traps are about average. This is a good course for those who play scratch or who have a high handicap. Staff is friendly and club house is fairly new and nice and clean. A good value!!

Nice course
I played this course on Sunday, 2/24/13. I enjoyed playing this course and want to come back and play it again. The fairways and greens were in good condition. I enjoyed the lush green grass, because I played 3 other courses this week and this course had the best greens and fairways. Staff was super friendly. Great day of golf.
February 26, 2013
decent
it was fun and priced great for the time of year, but the course wasn't anything special. but was still in good condition. and a nice place to play. prolly closer to a 3 1/2 star.

Freindly atmosphere and great value
Very freindly staff and reasonably priced golf. The course needs work, but the greens and the greenside bunkers are very good shape.
February 25, 2013
The course has a nice layout
Nice layout but needs a lot of TLC.
Has potential to be a very nice course.
February 23, 2013
Much better than a couple of years ago!
Booked this course not knowing it was the old Bouganvillea. Was not thrilled when I found out. That said the new management has made some very noticable improvements. The greens were in good shape and the fairways green. They had some bare spots in the fairways but you could really see some effort has been made. The club house has been spruced up and the staff was very friendly. They need to work on some of the bunkers but given the cost 35.00 dollars and the fun layout we will likley return.
