text: This course has been on my radar for awhile, but just a bit out of my price range, but I decided to make this a \"tax return splurge\" for myself, and could NOT be happier with my decision!  Every hole is different.  The staff is excellent.  The greens, while a little marked up, putted true and very fast.  And at a rate of $110 from their own website (booked a week in advance and cheaper than golfnow, btw), it's a far better value than your standard North Scottsdale courses, and equal to, or superior in quality.  A couple negatives; sand was a bit compacted and a couple tee boxes were hard to find a level spot.  Also, if the ball gets into the desert, get a new one.  \n    I will play this one more time in \"season\", and several times this summer.  Don't miss this.  It will eventually go totally private at some point.
