Facility was nice, free range balls with round. Course layout was good but the greens were horrible. Slowest rolling greens ever played, like they don't cut the grass. I missed every birdie and par putt because it just dies about 12-6" from the cup. Like every time, fire your head greens keeper and all the landscaper staff read more

Always great golf as well as food. Staff are attentive, especially Jeff. Egg, sausage cheese on sourdough was excellent. read more

Played Palm Valley again 3/21. This time I brought a friend. Course was again in very good condition. Had a great time.

We took our dad to Palm Valley Golf Club for Father's Day weekend, hoping for a great experience--and while the course itself was in excellent shape, a few key issues left us disappointed. First, the positives: the course is very well maintained. We played the South and West courses, and overall, they were enjoyable to play. The fairways and greens were in good condition, which we appreciated. However, there were some pretty big downsides. For $70 per person--in 115-degree Arizona heat--you'd expect a bit more. The West course had almost no shade, which made things pretty brutal. To make matters worse, we did not see the cart lady once during our nearly 6-hour round. When we called the front desk, they told us they only had one cart girl covering all 27 holes. On Father's Day weekend, that's just poor planning and bad management. Also, the course was way overbooked. It felt like we were jammed in like pack mules. A round that should've taken 4 hours dragged out to 5 hours and 45 minutes. For that kind of money and that kind of heat, the experience should be far more organized and guest-focused. Would I come back? Maybe during cooler months--but not at this price point and not with this level of service. Management needs to do better! read more

This was not a great experience. I have been to many different courses and wanted to try this one and instantly regretted staying. The guy at the desk was very rude not just to our group but everyone else. I would never come back. read more

I love PV golf. The staff is amazing and always about business. They make you feel at home. Food is amazing and fresh. The lady's at the restaurant are fun and bright. One lady Asha is not very polite and rude. Hopefully she is nice to you. But other than that one of my favorites. read more

Negative stars... I went to a wedding at this venue recently and experienced a very uncomfortable situation. Was singled out for "behavioral issues" at an open bar cocktail hour... being one of the few tan and/or curly haired persons in the room. Kicked out and never coming back. read more

The staff was amazing. Told them we go there every year for our anniversary since we got married on the property and they always treats us well and hook it up. Staff was very nice and helpful and course was in great shape! Recommend to anyone getting married or wanting to play golf. read more

Always a favorite and today didn't disappoint. I have the crab Benedict and it is one of my favorite dishes and they do it very well, capers and all. My husband had his favorite, corned beef skillet and again delicious. Chucks of all things good. Chelsea was our server. Super sweet and attentive but not too much read more

Great course, in fantastic condition! Little pricey and out of the way.. but overall one of the better playing courses in the city read more

Palm Valley Golf Club - Great course - Golf Near Me - Goodyear, Arizona

Played the course a few days ago. One 9 was closed for overseed, one just reopened and the other hadn't yet. Considering the time of year the course was in good shape. That wasn't the issue. The issue was the staff as well as the rules that Arcis puts into place. I am an Arcis prime member and also a member of the PGA of America and have worked in the golf industry for 20 years. The first issue our group encountered was one of the on course marshals, his name was DC. On the first hole there was confusion as there were multiple groups in the tee. DC showed up at the tee and just drove off down the first hole with no direction of who was actually supposed to go first. On one hole late in the round, one of the members of our group hit the ball in the dirt just off the fairway. He drove his cart to the edge of the grass with one wheel in the dirt. DC was behind the green and drove straight towards us. He took a path in front of the green and drove down the fairway to make sure we didn't hit and then lectured the other cart to keep the cart fully in the grass. When driving away, he drove thru the dirt to go talk to the group behind us. If you actually read this review you all know that this one wasn't that big of a deal for the course or the cart but definitely not the way to approach a group. Kindly wait until we finish the hole and let us know what needs to happen going forward if putting a wheel in the dirt is such a big deal. As an Arcis Prime member during the season you get a free meal with purchase of a round. Apparently starting this year the meal is done in only. With a pregnant wife at home, I was going to take the meal to go for her. The restaurant staff and the golf shop staff did not budge on a bad rule passed down from above. It is pretty par for the course for Arcis. Some locations are managed well while others make you feel unwelcome. More of a "no" oriented culture instead of "yes". read more

Absolutely horrible for the amount of money! Me and my wife played and paid $129 each total of $280 with taxes. I wouldn't recommend this course unless you can get it under $60. Greens were patchy fairways were spotty yellow. Find a different course for this amount of money! read more

This is an awesome course to come play! The price is very reasonable and the course has some nice challenges to it. The staff is very friendly, and the pace of play here is also exceptional. We would see the ranger every 5 holes, and it's nice to see that they are making sure groups aren't taking forever. We played the West and the North, but they also have the East and the South. I don't know if I would try the other ones because the 18 we played was a great time. The course is long and presents challenges that make for some good golf. Some of the greens and fairways were a little torn up, but it was few and far between. The club looks to be well maintained, and if you're looking for some good golf I would come here again! We did not eat in the clubhouse after the round, but the food looked like your typical bar food. Overall I had a great experience here. read more

We are visiting in the Glendale/Litchfield/Goodyear area and brought our clubs along. Palm Valley offers three hole configurations--we played the west course. The course was in good shape and the attendants were very nice an accommodating. We had a later tee time (which reduces the cost of play) and finished just before dark. We are usually walkers, but this course requires a cart, as the holes are very spread out and we had to go quite a distance to the first tee box. Attendants were on the course with a beverage cart. COVID-19 restrictions were enforced with masking, no water coolers, cups etc and flags were left in for putting. Carts paths were marked and the 90 degree rule for carts in the fairway was posted. As a visitor to Palm Valley, it would have been helpful to have better signage for holes with distances, yardage, etc. We found ourselves scrambling to look at the score card to check hole layout and yardage on a regular basis. Everyone was friendly, we enjoyed our round of golf and will probably be back before returning home. I wish I would have played better but unfortunately that was not the fault of the course. read more

Golf course was in embarassingly bad condition. Half the fairways were bare dirt/mud. Bunkers were washed out and unplayable. Greens were sloppily cut with long lateral lines through them which made for uneven, slow, and bumpy rolls. The hole placements looked as though they hadnt been recut in over a week with brown frayed edges. Just sloppy, sloppy ,sloppy, and lazy maintenance all the way around. Tee boxes hadnt been mown in probably a week and were lumpy and uneven. No attempt to prune or trim rough or overgrown areas had been taken at all. This facility is being completely neglected and I wouldnt be surprised if they have to eventually sell the rest of the property. I wouldnt have minded the bad conditions if it would have been mentioned, but it wasnt. And in addition, I payed over $70 for "summer rate" green fees, which is absolutely ridiculous. Their "small" bucket of range balls cost about $8 and had no more than 25 balls in the basket. More like a micro midget basket. Pathetic to charge that much for a tiny bucket of balls like that when theyre already overcharging for the greens fees. Other courses in the valley such as Raven, and Desert Canyon were $50, included balls, and were in much better condition. Its obvious the maintenance crew is either lazy ,understaffed or both, which fall directly under the superintendent, operations manager, and GM's responsibility. I do NO recommend playing this golf course. It was a huge disappointment and waste of money. read more

My group initiated a round of shots rule for any birdie scored. Fortunately no one got a birdie. Lot of bogey and double bogey golf being played which is ironically par for the course for Jimi. Shot a 95 NBD. Jimi's lady friend has a fun rule that your score on a hole should be based on style points and not the amount of strokes. Like if you get a 5 but had an awesome chip that was inches from the cup then you get 3 actually. Think there's something to this method. Course was nice. Would golf again. Feel free to take a rest hole when needed and pick it back up on the next one. 5 stars read more

Had a chance to play the palm course, what a nice course. Yes I have played better courses, but you can't take any thing away from this place. Mostly flat and rolling hills. Water only plays in a couple of holes. Bunkers placed at very good locations. Hopefully I will become a regular here. read more

The course is in great shape and the staff are great but charging $25 for your own cart at the height of a Pandemic should be criminal.

This course is a great track. Nice layout and in good condition. Although a few things need to be attended to No beverage carts through the 4.5 hour round. Also bunkers around greens need attention. Last time they were groomed I was single. Besides from that good value and a pleasant round read more

Great place to practice! Great staff and 3 fun and usually in good shape 9's! If you live in the west valley it should be a regular visit as it always has fair rates! Any questions always call the golf shop they are friendly and helpful but busy so get to the point as they have other callers and visitors to help. Enjoy! read more

This is my golf course, I play there almost everyday. A few days ago, I stopped by the Fairway Grille for some breakfast and was very pleased. First of all the server, Amanda, was great, took excellent care of us. Simple order, couple eggs, hash browns, rye toast and some decaf. Arrived in no time and it was tasty, especially the rye toast. I know, toast is toast, but this was great. Price was right on the mark for the food. I think I will stop by more in the future. I know the guys I play with on Thursday always stay for lunch and they love the place, they say the burgers are great. read more

Fun course and EXCELLENT staff .. very friendly and helpful. My wife lost her sunglasses before the round at the facility and by the turn someone had found them and drove them out to us. Fantastic crew! read more

Beautiful Scenery. .. Great Course Palm Valley Golf Club is a beuatiful, and well maintained golf that offers both an executive Lakes course, and full size Palm course. Both courses are a lot of fun to play on, and each course offer their own unique challenges. Palm Valley Golf Club is one of the more affordable courses and defininitely worth a visit. The staff at Palm Valley Golf Club are extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable from the folks in the pro shop, to the servers in the clubhouse and everyone else in between. So if your looking for a great course at a great price head out to Palm Valley Golf Club. It's a great way to spend a day. read more

Played the palms course today. B-E-Autiful! Loved it. Easy 4 stars givin. Go! Great pace of play, great driving range, great scenery, well maintained, great greens, great lay out, all around great. I got a wonderful deal for a round for $40, most I've ever payed for a round. I will come back and pay twice as much if that's all is available. Even the other players were courteous when playing. Only downfall is there pro shop didn't have add much selection as I'm used to in southern California. Great course! Deserves 4.75 stars read more

Played the Palms course last Thursday. Loved every second of it and only donated the one ball. Fairways were in great condition, the rough wasn't so high that you were on an expedition to find a wayward ball. There a some nice elevation changes and cross slopes on some of the fairways that add interest. The staff were all very attentive and helpful. They enhanced the whole experience. Temperatures are on the rise so it was pleasant to find water coolers every third hole or so. All in all a great experience, one that I hope to repeat very soon. read more

Great course to play if you are looking for inexpensive and enjoyable... $51.00 - 18 holes and cart... Can't really beat that... read more

This was my first time playing here. The course aas in great shape. Staff was very professional and helpful. Restuarant staff was good along with the food. Only thing that kept this from 5 stars was the distance we had to go f ry on course to course. I will come back!! Thanks to the crew there. read more

Been playing this course for quite sometime but not anymore. The quality of the courses just get worse and worse and they want to charge a premium? Then put together a premium course. The fairways are always WAY over water and there is absolutely no sand in the traps. It's more like hitting dirt out of them. The club house guys acting like you were bugging them when you come in and have a shitty chip on their shoulders. Also be nice if they would let you know when they have tournaments but they don't. Moral of the story is don't waste your time or money here. read more

Plam Valley "The Palm Card" is a rip off ($50). You accumulate points by using their range and golfing on their course. But they adjust the level of points for a reward as the months go along. They don't tell you this when you sign up for this. read more

I really wanted to like this course, partially because Phil Michelson put it together. The range was well set-up, good turf and the balls. The course was laid out in clusters of three or four holes looping inside fairway homes. The holes look very similar (almost boring) and aren't challenging. The wind can knock your score up. That's OK. The biggest negative was the greens. They rolled well, but they were HARD. I usually have a ball mark to fix. On this course, I fixed the only one (1) I could find. Many of my shots rolled to the back of greens and sometimes off. read more

Played the Palm Course today and it was a great experience. The course was in good shape and was challenging. That's not saying a lot though if you have seen my golf game. Staff was so friendly and eager to help with anything. I look forward to playing again in the near future. read more

Guy at the front charged me an extra $25 for a cart so we could social distance. I asked if they had a shortage and he said something snotty under his breath. Never coming back here! Save your money, go to Wigwam. People are nicer, course is better. read more

Our first time playing the course and it was about $90 to play which is ok if the course is in good shape, but it wasn't. No sand in any of the bunkers we were in, grass surrounding tee boxes and greens all choppy and bad. The layout of the course was pretty decent but for what we paid, it wasn't worth the money. I won't be back. Sundance golf course in buckeye is in a lot better shape and fair price. But, a few tournaments at other courses made us try Palm Valley. Disappointed!! read more

Nice people to deal with in pro shop but the maintenance staff is doing a poor job. Cups are rarely set to proper depth. The fairways are starting to come around but the tee boxes are a mess. The condition of the bunkers are among the worst in the valley. Especially number 7 on the South course. Try putting some sand in there guys. read more

Course great even after rains. Problem is them not telling you when make a tee time that there is a big college tournament going on in front of you. Way slow going. read more

This course is in the worst shape of any golf courses in Arizona. They also nickle and dime you to death. They have a beer special on the cart lady, but you have to ask, otherwise they charge you 5 dollars a beer plus tax. The range balls are 5.50 for a small bucket. When you get to the range there are dozens of free balls, but the pro shop won't tell you that. I asked after the round if someone would wipe my clubs,and was told it was 5 dollars. I am handicapped and asked for help getting my clubs to my car, and was told they don't do that. I said I was going to call the police because there is no way I could get my clubs to the car. Then all of a sudden a young man helped me. The tee boxes, fairway, and greens han all dead grass. It was like they never water them. Coyete lakes is a much better course for the same price. Also palm valley was a 5 hour round, with hardly anybody playing. read more

Your experience at Palm Valley will completely depend on the time of year that you choose to play. The course gets very heavy Snow Bird action during the season and the pace of play slows to the speed of mud. Not uncommon to find 3 or more groups waiting on the tee boxes of the par 3's. Course is usually In Good shape but Zero marshals out trying to get things moving. If you have all day and don't mind waiting it a a fun course read more

Beautiful courses, both the palms and the lakes courses offer any golfer a great experience, from the amateur to the advanced golfer! The lakes course is my favorite! My husband and I come here quite often, just wish they'd have better club member opportunities for Palm Valley residents, good prices can be found online, especially for twilight hours. read more

Done with this place. Pro shop/management apparently thinks a 5 1\2 hour round of golf is acceptable. No ranger, no marshal, no effort to speed up knucklehead players. Not one ranger sighting in 18 holes. Another example of a Valley golf course that opens the doors, mows the grass, collects your greens fee and ... Then??! Well, buddy .. You're on your own. read more

This course was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The course was very well kept and had amazing fairways and greens. A little open and a way fun course. Bottom line fair priced and amazing. read more
