How is pace of play at TPC Stadium with it being CPO?

Barring some sort of miracle I’m unaware I’d guess it to be exactly what you’d expect, i.e., 4:30-5:00

Basically what I expected. I think I am going to try to walk if that is permitted.

Walking with a pushcart is not allowed; only carrying...and that may no longer be allowed either.

If anyone can provide course updates on the Trilogy at Power Ranch and Mountain Brook Golf Club I'll be playing them in about two weeks. Thanks.

 

Power ranch is a mess...tee to green.

You previously could book a caddie as well. Not sure if that is still possible.

At least I got that going for me, ROFL.

I like carrying, how is the walk?

Very easy. It is very flat.

Just realized that Aguila is about 10 minutes from where my office is, going to play this for the 1st time tomorrow afternoon after the great reviews here and its $39.

 

One question here, is this course walkable? I'm going to take a cart tomorrow since I don't know the layout, but if it is walkable I will bring the push cart with me to work and play it for the $29 rate after the initial visit.

Skip the cart. You can walk it the first time. All the city courses are walkable and lots of people walk/push.

Has anyone played Western Skies in Gilbert?

Yep. I walk Aguila every time I play it and often get paired with other walkers. They have a lot of push carts available for rent ($5 maybe?) but you can bring your own for free, as I and many people do. Walk it the first time, it's fairly obvious where the shortcuts to the next tees are from the greens, and they have decent signage.

I did 10 years ago was in tough shape then

[puttnforthe8]

Has anyone played Western Skies in Gilbert?

 

Not willingly! What about it would you like to know? it is a low end course with nothing interesting or really good about it. very short. greens are ok. fairways ok.

[fore_life]

Western skies is the only place I’ve ever left mid round because I was bored as hell lol. I remember hole #1, and nothing else. Prob 10 min away from my house and haven’t played it in 8 years, though they do have new irrigation and owners, so maybe conditions have improved enough to make a boring layout enjoyable

[DBill]

Aguila yesterday afternoon. Teed off at 2:08 and finished right before 6pm. Fun course and is in great shape, I can see why so many like it. The greens were in great shape and ran really well. For $29 walking, this is a hell of a value this time of year.

Any recommendations on golfing retirement communities would be greatly appreciated.

Without knowing which area of town you’re talking about it is hard to be helpful. You could literally be talking about places that are an hour+ apart and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cost difference.

[BUCKEYERBALL88]

Tpc champions today

 

Conditions & greens were very good

Greens were smooth. Rolling at 10 according to the starter

Bunkers were very nice

Pace was slow but the weather was perfect so I didn’t mind

$78 to walk, great layout! My favorite holes are 5 & 15

My apologies for being vague. I’m coming from Florida and am open to anything in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. I’ve looked at Anthem CC which seemed within my geographical and financial range.

[AzSuperHack76]

If anyone is interested Wildfire has a special tomorrow, $99 if you book through there website, code is MLK2019. Playing at 1055, 2 spots open if anyone is wants to join us.

Anthem is a nice upper middle club. Certainly a good spot if you find a house you like there. Ironwood > Persimmon but both courses are fun.

Coming in March - Playing Papago, Southern Dunes, We Ko Pa, and Troon North looking for a day that is a little less expensive....looking at McCormick Ranch. Anyone have any info? Play it or stay away?

I would throw GCU into that mix as well....or Estrella on a deal time.

[Olson12]

GCU greens right now are perfect. They have some muddy areas but they are roped off as GIR. Highly recommend.
