Golf Course Review Apache Wells Country Club Mesa Arizona

Reviewed by: jciapa02, Mesa, AZ
Played with my usual threesome on Sunday the 23rd of June for a hot deal of $10 per player off GolfNow. Pulling up as I stated in my review of this course last year, you’re presented with a course that seems below average. However once you’re on the grounds, the club house (recently renovated last year or so), the bar and grille, the ample putting greens, private instruction area near the 10th hole and the medium sized practice tee, you realize that’s not the case. The service was great. We walked up and were offered to tee off whenever we were ready. So, we did.

The Review

The tee boxes were manicured well, with the mow patterns visible in the fairways and greens from the tee boxes. The boxes were all lush with no severe damage nor visible need of leveling. The fairways were firm but not rock hard and often presented your fairway finding drive sitting up in the grass. The rough was noticeably different in the way it was mowed height wise, but did not present any difficulty in finding the ball nor with your club selection to accurately hit the green. It was kinda just, different than the fairway. Not bad though. The greens were very pristine, no severe pitchmark damage and the roll on putts was fair and true. What I was most impressed with, was the definition of the mowing pattern on the fairways and greens. You usually don’t see that at a cheap, retirement community golf course.

Parting Thoughts

This course is fun, and worth the summer rates. I know, from what I’ve heard , that this course is impossible to get on when the snowbirds are in town and it’s always packed when the weather is below that certain temperature that I can’t quite figure out, probably 75. My preferred golfing temperature is 100 plus, so it’s always empty and a great day out here. It’s a good test for all your clubs, a chance to shoot a low score and fun to have a course to yourself during the summer. Worth the green fee for sure.
