Apache Creek Golf Club

I don't know what was higher, my score or the number of golf balls I lost in the desert. That said, I did get a par on the Island green and the screwdrivers at the turn really got my driver working. Would recommend for anyone trying to hit fairways, find roadrunners, and hit their long clubs a lot. Just watch out for the freeway on hole 10, especially if you think you're going to bomb one down the middle.

Course in good shape for not being a course that truly overseeds in the winter time. Greens and shoulders overseeded and real good shape. The price point very good, seeing how a lot of courses are still over 100+ dollars to play. Had a 6:15am tee time, start was a little behind, and sent us off at 6:22am. I remember this because starter wrote on golf cart in sharpie on the advertisement board above on the cart the start time. Apparently, that is how this course maintains pace of play for the ranger on course to know where each group is at. We were approached by the ranger on hole 4 saying we were behind by 14 minutes off of pace. Unfortunately we had nowhere to go as we were pressing the group in front of us, and we mentioned that to him. He was not in a good mood, and preceeding on to figure out what group was holding everyone up. The worst part was we never saw a ranger on the back, never saw a beverage cart until the end of our round. Pace slowed down incredibly on the back. With there not being housing around and it being a traditional style course with back-to-back holes, there were several cross fairway arrant shots going everywhere. Pretty dangerous, not to say that my ball was picked up on two holes on the back. I was in play on the fairways for the holes I was playing, so there shouldn't of been any reason why a ball was swiped. I believe when you stack to many groups to close to each other to get max play each day this scenario is always going to happen. All said, I will not be returning to play at Apache Creek Golf Club for a while, as these elements resulted in a poor experience. I used to play this course every week in a group last year and never experienced anything like this before. Not any result of how I played either, because I played well, just wish those elements had not occurred, would have been more enjoyable.

Course was in fantastic condition, pro shop is super nice. Greens were in good shape. No complaint about the course, OTHER THAN the Marshall, this man came up to us 7 times to last that we were playing to slow, which we had 4 experienced golfers, and the group was no more that on shot ahead of us. Very annoying/frustrating constantly being rushed. Then he comes up to us again, to say we took too long after the 9th hole, because we got a hot dog and took a 8 minute break. The marshall needs to find a new hobby.
