definitely well-kept like most TPC courses. personally, i don't like the design and could name 10 other courses in the area i'd rather play (and most are cheaper).

If you like target golf, you will really like this course

I agree with the above, recognizing that Arizona golf is for the most part, target golf. Having said that, I played Talking Stick (North) there last year. It is a Coore/Crenshaw design. Typical to their style it is not flashy at all. It is not target golf, and the more I look back on it, the more and more impressed I was with the design. Not a house in sight either as it is on an indian reservation. Definately worth a try.

I wouldn't play it this year. They had some major problems with their overseeding last year and basically killed off all the grass. If you still want to go out, make sure you call them first. I was up there in the middle of summer, and they actually stopped and showed you pictures of the course conditions before allowing you to play.

By the way, I still played the course that day. I chalked it up as a good learning experience. Despite the course conditions, it was still fun.

HAHA, no. Nothing compared to Chi town.

They just rebuilt the Desert course and they might be issues 2 for 1 for both courses.

    • Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

    • Day 295 6-26 Low point control with towel again. Getting better but not swinging fast enough tonight. 
    • Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times. 
    • I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
