Mountain Brook GC in Gold Canyon - thoughts?

ScubaSteve · January 8, 2020

We usually get a few rounds in while in Phoenix over the Feb. break each year. Usually stay around Chandler and like to stick to reasonably priced courses ( under $100 during prime time morning hours) so the planned rotation this year is likely 3 of the following - Aguila, Legacy, Wigwam Red (going to early hockey game that day), Ocotillo (have played several times and don't mind it for the price). Some people in our group not fond of Southern Dunes so we don't have it on our list.

Wondering whether Mountain Brook is good enough to trump one of these other courses and worth the drive? TIA.

No, except for Wigwam. But since you are playing there for proximity purposes it doesn't matter. However, you should consider either Verrado course or even Estrella - only 10 min farther.

MB has some decent views and some decent holes, but it is a short course. It has recently changed ownership, so I am not sure if they have made any drastic improvements yet. It has always been in decent shape.

Bottom line - it is not worth the drive. You should consider Poston Butte for a change over Ocotillo. Heck, even Johnson Ranch is more fun.
