I really wanted to like this place more because the staff was great. Especially the free 5 min message before you warm-up on the range. The course is in great shape but some of the holes are just a little tricked-up. The had to force some holes in the area they had and a few of them were a goofy... More

I was there in late April, and this was literally the nicest course I've ever played at. Spectacular views, wildlife, and weather! Definitely worth the cost. This is a great combination of desert and mountain golf. You won't regret it. Get ready for fast greens though!

Can't say enough about golf course and staff, but not very happy with "casita" and food was nothing to write home about.

There are many reviews on the course which is great, but none on the golf school. My wife and I just finished 5 days of school and consider it one of the best in the country for regular golfers trying to improve their score.

Beautiful scenery, well maintained, challenging but not impossible. The course winds through wonderful desert with great views. Wide fairways.

We played Dinosaur Mountain instead of We-Ko-Pa. It was worth the experience and drive out to Apache Junction. Lots of elevation changes, great views, and friendly staff. Course was in fantastic condition. I would recommend this golf course to any golf group.

This is a great desert course that is absolutely beautiful but you need to get past the initial cheesy impression as you drive up and see the tacky signs. It's got more than it's fair share of traps and angled greens and plays tight but fair. I paid $150 which may seem pricey to some, but that's what you pay... More

We really enjoyed the dramatic holes here. Elevation changes are second to none, but there are some holes once you get over the mountain that a flat and boring. However, the holes going up and over are very fun. Conditions were great and definitely one of the better deals pricewise for golf in the Scottsdale area. I recommend taking the... More
