My first Scottsdale golf experience and this course delivered. The updated GPS system was a great touch, but the real highlight was an exceptional starter who got us out early and paired me with some fun guys from Miami. Played from the whites and had a blast. The front nine looks simple, but those short par 4s tempt you to go for glory. Took my shot on hole 4 and nearly drove the green. Fast greens and solid conditions despite Arizona’s drought.

Great track from 7.000 Tighter than it looks on a few key holes. Par 6’s very gettable. Tons of opportunity to hit iron or hybrid. Greens roll like concrete, but not in a bad way. Breaks are very sharp and deceiving. A few “monster greens” that are hundreds of feet wide and deep with multiple undulation stacks scattered. Chip to fringe and let release.
