Happy New Year!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind....Happy New Year! Looking back on 2007, we had a fantastic year and look forward to a great 2008! With the Fiesta Bowl, Super Bowl, and FBR Open coming up real soon the Phoenix area will be a buzz. The golf course and Verde Grill will be packed to the gills the week of the Super Bowl, so make sure to get your reservations in soon.
It looks like the weather is starting to cooperate (aren't we in the Valley of the Sun?) with temperatures reaching into the 70's later this week. The golf course is in phenomenal shape and since we have brought on our new Food and Beverage Director, Dolan Olson, the Verde Grill continues to get busier and busier. Make sure to stop in to the Verde Grill after your round and try our Verde Chicken Wrap, it is my favorite on the menu.
I look forward to seeing all of you out here real soon, have a happy and safe New Year!

We make a tee time on Memorial Day for 6:40am. We were excited to play a nice course. When we showed up at the course, we were told they were having some problems with the greens on the front. They had a fungus and the greens were spotty in areas; however, they putted true. He went on to say the green on the back nine were in good condition. Unfortunately, neither of these statements was true.
When we started playing the course, the greens on the front had large spots of completely dead grass. Where the grass was not dead, they let the green grow extremely long and shaggy. When you putted the ball, it would go fast on the dead grass and come to almost dead stop on the long grass. It was terrible. But no fear, the man at the counter told us the greens on the back nine were in great shape.
When started the back nine, yes the greens did not have the fungus areas of the front nine but were allowed to grow for a multiple days. It had just rained the day before so green were so long I could have putted better on my bedspread. It was a complete disappointment.
After completing the round, we went back into the club house to complain. The person at the counter stuck to his story that the greens were not that bad on the back nine. I told them I don't think they had played them today because they were in terrible shape (All to no avail). I feel like I paid $50 to go to the driving range. The greens were so long that even chipping wasn’t of any practice.
At least when a course aerates the greens they warn you before hand when you are making the reservations and you can decide if you want to play the course of not. In this case, they did not warn us and the shape of the greens was worse than any aerated green I had ever played on. The management should be ashamed of themselves. I think it will be a long time before I play this course again.
