This is a tremendous public course. My main criticism is that three of the par threes are essentially the same hole and long for the average golfer (208, 206, 232 from the Blues). Only #11 is less at 158. And that is about a 145 carry over water. But this course has elevated greens, challenging bunker placement with nice sand... more

This is a great course. I've played it a few times since it re-opened. At first, it was a little rough (hard greens), but that's to be expected when they are new. It's a fantastic layout. Be advised that there was a group that was VERY vocal against having the renovations done to the course, and it appears that a... more

Things are changing at Papago GC since the LPGA was there. The course is a classic design that should be appreciated by golf historians.

The Clubhouse and the Cartbarn were not completed yet, but that's not why I think this is a bad course to play. The reason is the Fairways are... more

Course supposedly had a multimillion dollar renovation. My question is: Who's pocket did the money go into????? This place wasn't worth the $49 paid to play it. No grooming whatsoever and the greens were lumpy with play being putt and hope all day. Don't golf here for another couple of years at least. Perhaps by that time it will have... more
