San Tan Highlands

Thank you to my new playing partner for telling where the trouble was on each tee shot because I've had a hard time navigating the course. The carts do have GPS so you could survive. The golf carts are really nice by the way. The back 9 was really fun to play with the views. The course overall is a little dry and tired. The ground is hard and you get more roll. The bunkers have no sand. Narrow fairways so definitely move up to a tee box that's is right for you or you will hate golf afterwards. I had to watch 4 guys play too far back and struggle all day. It was painful to witness.

The course is beautiful and in great shape. The staff were great to work with.

Fun to play and cart was stocked with one bottle of water but no drinking water on the course at all except from one or two bathroom faucets.

You could use one cart girl per 9 holes for refreshments

Group ahead of us was a hole behind group in front of them. Marshal was called by our group and group behind us but never did anything about it.

Greens were very good, fairways good, bunkers - absolutely no sand - more like gravel/concrete.
Pace of play was horrendous. Started on time and within 2 holes was behind pace due to slow play in front of us - no marshall to be seen. 5 hour round with a 150 start time - finished in the dark at 7 pm. Proshop didn't care when pace of play was mentioned at the turn. Had a cart of 3 young teens with loud music drive through our group on a golf cart (they were not golfing) and swore at us for trying to have them wait for us to tee off. All in all - not worth the $ or time to play the course - especially in the afternoon.

This course plays amazing. Can challenge both the high and lower handicap players.

The green were a little slow from my perspective. The starter was very friendly. The pro shop staff was ok but did not offer any information about first tee direction or where the starter was located. Cart girl was excellent, covered the course well, worked backwards to make sure everyone was served, We saw her 3 times which is excellent.

This is course is overpriced the pace of play needs work especially during peak playing hours. The bunkers is in need of better quality sand without pebbles and rocks. Chipping green needs more attention, however, putting greet, driving range and staff is friendly and accommodating.

The "starter" was unhelpful in cart deployment and treated young people in the group with sarcasm based solely on their appearance. The group was unsure why this was done and thought a review worthwhile due to the unusual customer experience..

The course is slowly getting better (GPS in carts now) but still some improvements still needed (sand missing in most of the bunkers, not hitting on a downslope on the range not ideal).
